Just as the imperial operators felt that the starship was going to explode, it suddenly lit up brightly and rose up quickly.
Most of the beams missed the starship. Those that managed to hit the starship got blocked by the light shield, resulting in the light shield dimming a little.
"That is a beam shield. How are they able to have a beam shield around the whole starship?" Most starships were unable to have a whole beam shield around them due to the amount of energy it required to sustain it. Normally, starships would usually form beam shields around 30 meters long, and they would just move it around the starship to block any incoming projectiles.
