OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create an advanced shield that is the physical/kinetic weapon equivalent of molecular shields for use by Breshig War Forge Consolidated and Strill Securities.
- Image Source: Here.
- Canon Link: N/A.
- Permissions: N/A.
- Primary Source: Xythan Force Shield, Molecular Shield, Mandalorian Melee Shield.
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
- Manufacturer: Breshig War Forge Consolidated.
- Affiliation: Breshig War Forge Consolidated and Strill Securities.
- Market Status: Closed-Market.
- Model: 'Atiniir' Kinetic Capacitance Shield.
- Modularity: Variants exist for vehicles, starships, installations, stations and planetary shield generators. Can be integrated into other shield generator systems.
- Production: Minor.
- Material:
- Export Model: Molecularly-bonded Duranium frame, Agrinium mesh, Dallorian alloy, Molecularly-bonded Duranium-reinforced Duraplast composite armor plating, condensed-matter composite reinforcement, Ultrachrome electronics, wiring and circuitry, heat sink(s), cryoban cooling system, emergency capacitors and combat de-ionizer.
- Mandalorian and Internal Model: Stesr'gar frame, Agrinium mesh, Dallorian alloy, Stesr'gar-reinforced Duraplast composite armor plating, condensed-matter composite reinforcement, Ultrachrome electronics, wiring and circuitry, heat sink(s), cryoban cooling system, emergency capacitors and combat de-ionizer.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Neutralize or Deflect: The Atiniir will neutralize or deflect incoming kinetic strikes, be they from a creature, asteroids or kinetic rounds as long as there is enough power to keep the field intact relative to the impact force of the incoming strike.
- Energy Absorbent: Like a molecular shield absorbs energy from energy-based weapons, so too does the Atiniir absorb the energy from physical strikes.
- Energy Capacitor: The Atiniir stores this absorbed energy into a capacitor bank. This can be fed back into the shield, or shunted to weapons, engines, maneuvering thrusters, hyperdrive or power hungry on-board systems such as fabricators.
STRENGTHS
- Neutralize, Absorb and Convert: Just like molecular shields either neutralize or deflect then absorb and convert energy weapons fire, so does the Atiniir perform the same function when faced with physical/kinetic weapons.
- System Boost: The stored energy in the capacitor bank is able to boost the shield, or be shunted to weapons, engines, maneuvering thrusters, hyperdrive or power hungry on-board systems such as fabricators.
- Resilient: The generator and its emitters are built to survive combat conditions as well as stay functional in the face of the vast variety of damage that it might sustain on the battlefield.
WEAKNESSES
- Energy Weapons: The Atiniir wasn't designed to, and doesn't stop energy weapons fire at all. Any energy weapons fire directed at it will pass right through unimpeded.
- Overwhelmed: Just like molecular shields, however, the Atiniir can be overwhelmed by high volumes of fire or several volleys of extremely high velocity, high mass rounds. Though this is still liable to take some time.
- EMP/Ion: Despite being well-defended against EMP/Ion weapons, weapons powerful enough to bypass these defenses are sure to cause significant, irreparable damage.
DESCRIPTION
The Atiniir was designed as part of an incremental modernization project following the company's term of service with the CIS, taking advantage of the wealth of shield technologies and data on shield harmonics in the face of multiple threats available to their clients to develop a new type of shield. The Atiniir became necessary after the proliferation of kinetic weapons became evident to Strill Securities personnel, who'd encountered it while engaging numerous forces in service to the Confederacy. The development process was slow, but rather than fall back on using Xythan Force Shields as had been considered multiple times, painstaking research was done into absorbing the kinetic energy of physical attacks that impact the shield. To achieve this, the company's R&D teams looked into both Xythan Force Shields and ancient Mandalorian melee shields. The results were eventually fine tuned, tested against a variety of weapons, and then finally the first few prototypes rolled off the company's production facilities.
Just as a molecular shield is able to either neutralize or deflect and then absorb and convert energy weapon impacts, so can the Atiniir perform the same function with physical weapon strikes. The momentum of the strike is absorbed, then converted and stored in an energy capacitor bank. This can be fed back into the shield, or shunted to weapons, engines, maneuvering thrusters, hyperdrive or power hungry on-board systems such as fabricators. Just like molecular shields, however, the Atiniir can be overwhelmed by high volumes of fire or several volleys of extremely high velocity, high mass rounds. Though this is still liable to take some time. The Atiniir wasn't designed to, and doesn't stop energy weapons fire at all. Any energy weapons fire directed at it will pass right through unimpeded. To solve this, the emitters are specifically made to be resilient in the face of most energy weapons, including EMP and Ion weapons, though powerful enough examples of either could cause severe irreparable damage.
