'''KDY-150''' is a planetary defense facility in ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]'', available to both sides. It is a system-based ion cannon (the KDY v-150) that fires on ships bombarding the system where it is deployed. Like all ion cannons it inflicts no physical damage, instead draining a target's energy so its shields drop and it cannot fire its weapons. This is particularly handy for getting units past an enemy blockade.<ref name="ency" />

KDY-150 is a planetary defense facility in Star Wars: Rebellion, available to both sides. The KDY v-150 is an ion cannon based in a system, and it shoots at ships attacking the system where it is stationed. Like every ion cannon, it causes no physical damage; it instead saps the target vessel's energy, lowering its shields and leaving it unable to use its weapons. This makes it especially valuable for slipping units past an enemy blockade.[1]

In the game

It costs 4 refined materials to build and 4 to maintain.[1] The infobox values come from the game data.[2] The 25th Anniversary patch update does not rewrite this data file.[3]

The manual describes it as an ion cannon that drains energy from an attacking ship, so the ship's shields stop working and it cannot fire.[4] With an ion cannon in place, troops, characters and special forces find it easier to get away when a system is blockaded or bombarded.[5]
