Game Notes: A ship treated with this material adds to a sensor operators difficulty to
detect the ship. A light treatment adds 1D to the difficulty. A heavy treatment (a second
coat) adds 2D. Additional treatments are futile, since the treatment does nothing to prevent
the detection of engine exhaust, a primary method of detecting ships. The type of vessel
affects how well the ship can be "stealthed" — blunt, angular ships, 500 meters or more in
length, or with more than 5D Hull (whether capital or starfighter scale) can only be
"baffled" up to 1D of protection. Slender, rounded off ships (smaller Mon Calamari vessels,
for example) are easier to baffle, due to their natural design.
