Force suppression was a mind-affecting Force power that was employed by crafty Force-sensitives. It allowed a Force-sensitive to harness the Force to shatter the Force powers another used[1] or in order to convince others that they had been cut off from the Force itself.[2] As such, it served both to diminish an enemy's Force resistance[3] and to negate a vast range of Force abilities, including but not limited to Force speed, Force valor, Force barrier, Force immunity, Force fury, Inspire, energy resistance, and even battle meditation.[1][4]
Advanced mastery of this technique was referred to as Force breach during the Old Sith Wars.[1][4] During the Cold War, that name was instead applied to the ability to deal catastrophic damage against targets by rupturing their shatterpoints.[3]
