[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 176501, member: 710"] As far as I understood the scene in the Zahn Trilogy, the shields are only up when under attack. This means they cloaked the vessels and entered the atmosphere. After that, the star destroyers arrived. The shields went up. The star destroyers fire, and when the shots arrive at the shield (and are absorbed), the cloaked vessels under the shield "continue" the shots... ! WARNING ! spoiler for firsttime readers of the Zahn Trilogy ! WARNING ! During the siege of Coruscant using asteroids it becomes evident that planetary shields can not be passed by ships. They raise the shields to avoid that the cloaked asteroids hit the planet. But this inhibits any travel from or to the planet. .SPOILER END. The magnetic field the X-Wing Pilots speak of seem not to be shields. On Hoth, the troups are able to land on the planet because the rebels didn`t have a planetary wide shield grid. [/QUOTE]
