Down at the other end, you could harass a heavy fighter with light droid fighters, dumb and fragile but way cheaper than a TIE-style ship, and not risking the loss of a highly-trained pilot every time you sortie. What kind of tech would give an edge over the current space supremacy tech? We've already seen one answer: superheavy cannons such as dreadnaught tech, big enough to mess up Mon Cal type cruisers. These displaced the previous kings of the battlefield, Star Destroyers and TIE fighters, which had good speed but short range and tended to be much more fragile. So, for example, a New Republic era scientist is probably working with an infrastructure that turns out heavily shielded, hyperdrive-capable ships in all size ranges. This explains how "advances" can occur without the tech base actually jumping forward. This often involves rock-paper-scissors style exploitation of a current technological fashion, finding a weakness and deploying something that asserts supremacy despite having its own weakness (which doesn't currently exist). The role of a scientist in this space is not to revolutionise theory, but to synthesise what exists into a new solution somewhere in the existing infrastructure landscape.

If the corporation that builds the ships breaks up, the institutional knowledge of how to build the ships is effectively lost, but the underlying theory is not. but the theory is all in-setting high-school physics and engineering, just taken to extraordinarily complex and ambitious extremes. In other words, it takes a team of thousands to design a Star Destroyer, and probably millions of expert workers and their managers and their logistics train to actually build the thing. I've always said that the Star Wars universe is saturated in knowledge but limited by biological controls on infrastructure.
Anything to do with the Force or Midi-chlorians.Also it can’t have already been done in Legends or Canon. It really isn’t that important to the story it just has to sound cool and scientific. I just need something for him to be researching. I’m trying to write a story about a scientist who is working on something in the era of the New Republic.
