Shields
in Star Wars are generally not visible unless bounded on one or
both sides by atmosphere. They may or may not allow physical objects to
pass through, depending on the type of shield, but always block
turbolaser blasts.
Hull armoring may be present; if it is present, it may offer protection
equivalent to anywhere from 0.25-3 meters of solid steel, via analyses
of impacts on Imperial Star Destroyers which have succeeded or failed
to do significant damage.
However, large unarmored windows are present. It is thus desirable to
have shields up at all times.
