Background: A central node was placed on a surface, surrounded by planetary objects embedded with additional nodes and multi-directional laser emitters. When the system sensed a starship’s movement, it was activated, covering an area with a laser grid and preventing the vessel’s escape.
The LaserWeb Defense Station was a security system used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems above the planet Iego, built among the planet’s many moons. The system remained in operation after the Separatists abandoned Iego, resulting in its residents being trapped there as any starship that attempted to leave would be destroyed by the lasers. The inhabitants of Cliffhold attributed the destruction to the “Ghost of Drol,” the so-called phantom ruler of the planet. The laser system was discovered by Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi when they ventured to Iego in search of reeksa root, and the two were able to destroy the LaserWeb generator on Millius Prime, allowing the Iegoans the freedom to leave whenever they chose.
