Lei Cheung specialises in shields modifications. They're reached through The Dweller. See Engineer Unlock Chain below for their relationship to Ram Tah.[1]

Location

  • System: Laksak
  • Facility: Trader's Rest

How to Discover This Engineer

Referral from The Dweller.[2][1]

How to Receive an Invitation

Trade at 50 or more markets.[2]

How to Unlock This Engineer

  1. Have The Dweller unlocked and build reputation with them to trigger the referral.
  2. Meet the invitation requirement: trade at 50 or more markets.
  3. Travel to Trader's Rest in Laksak.
  4. Donate **200 tonnes of Gold** — an ordinary mined/refined commodity, deliverable a full cargo hold at a time.
  5. Confirm access at the Engineer's terminal.

Engineer Unlock Chain

Lei Cheung sits between The Dweller and Ram Tah.[2]

Available Engineering

Module Notes Maximum grade
Shield Generator Strength and other variants To be confirmed

Full blueprint names and maximum grades were not confirmed to the same depth as the core chain pages for this pass — see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture for the site's policy on not inventing unconfirmed specifics.[2]

Experimental Effects

To be added — not confirmed in the sources checked for this pass.

Increasing Engineer Reputation

Reputation increases through crafting modifications at their workshop, in line with the general mechanic covered on the main Engineering page.

Blueprint Pinning

Fact: Lei Cheung's confirmed specialties are Shields, per Available Engineering above.

EDFM recommendation: Not yet made. A pinning recommendation needs the maximum-grade and full blueprint data above filled in first — see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture for why EDFM treats pinning guidance as editorial judgement, not a database fact.
