Approved Tech Cabur Deflector Shield

[Valdus Bral]

Shield projection (to a much smaller area than the original)

Shield emitter module.


OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To bring back a relatively old piece of deflector shield technology with a new sort of flare.
• Image Source: Sky Shield module from the game Planetside 2 (video game).
• Canon Link: Gungan Shield Generator
• Primary Source: Gungan Shield Generator , Impervium , Duraplast , Diatium Power Cell

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Valdus Bral
• Affiliation: Valdus Bral, Closed Market
• Model: N/A
• Modularity: No
• 
  Production: Limited
  
• Material: Impervium shell, Duraplast inner shell, deflector shield components, Diatium Power Cell

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Portable deflector shield module that can cover a large amount of space
• Adjustable shield diameter and height
• Emitter module is highly resistant to kinetic damage, energy based damage, and resistant against Ion & EMP damage.
• Emitter dimensions: 1m H x 1m W

Strengths:

• Emitted shield is extremely resistant to blaster and other energy based attacks
• Emitted shield's diameter and height can be adjusted via the emitter module (max height: 6m, max diameter: 15m)
• Emitter module has a double shell that provides high resistance against all forms of standard damage types (physical, blaster, ion, EMP, sonic, and cold)
• Emitter module weighs roughly 40kg (88lbs)
• Power Cells can be replaced in the field, however it takes time.

Weaknesses:

• Does nothing to stop physical projectiles
• Infantry and other physical objects can pass through the barrier unharmed
• Runs on large Diatium Energy Cell: 5 hours of operation
• If the emitter is targeted by consistent heat based weaponry or excessive amounts of other damage types, the Power Cell may explode
• Emitter module weighs roughly 40kg (88lbs) and therefore is barely considered mobile to standard infantry

DESCRIPTION

The key to victory is not only a destructive offense, but also a rock solid defense. In order to provide cover from common aircraft, artillery, and infantry energy-based munitions, Valdus Bral researched battlefield deflector shields. Coming across an old piece of technology, the Gungan Shield Generator, it seemed perfect. However, due to Valdus Bral's lack of large beasts of burden, there had to be a way to cut down on the size and practical barriers to using this piece of technology. After many months of toying around with deflector shield simulations, Valdus was able to create a design that brought the same level of protection at a much more reduced weight and condensed package. However, this improvement did not come without drawbacks. Due to the size of the emitter and the single Power Cell receiver, the shield is no where near the size as the original Gungan Shield Generator.

Valdus hopes this will be used to provide cover for infantry and light vehicles as they defend strategic objectives. Technically the shield can be moved on a vehicle, just as the Gungan Shield Generators were transported on the backs of beasts. However, vehicles would likely benefit from a deflector shield that did not have to have its batteries changed every few hours.

A shield generator nice.

Couple of things.

Could you please source the gungan army photo? I know it's from episode one but i'd just like to know where the image came from like did you take it or on a website somewhere.

Could you possibly mention how large the shields field is? Does it cover a long range like most guns or is it a battlefield range projector. Just would like to know around abouts.

In your weaknesses you say it can only last five hours however this is highly up to interpretation as to how long five hours is in chaos as technically you could say most battles don't last maybe 2 or 3 hours. Five might be a bit to much.

This one is important one you unfortunately can't use Impervium on anything that isn't production rating of semi-unique down as it is a restricted material which has a list here http://starwarsrp.net/page/articles.html/_/the-factory/restricted-materials-r40

Tag me once you've decided what to do.

The image source you requested X

That information is located in 2nd bullet point under "Strengths" located within parentheses. Unless you mean if the emitter can project the shield somewhere else; then the answer would be: No, the emitter will always be at the center of the shield's projection, much like what is shown with the original Gungan source material.

Would 2 hours sound reasonable? I could go to 1 hour if that is too much.

I believe Turadium would serve as a practical replacement. It isn't a restricted material and seems like it can withstand reasonable battlefield conditions.

Two hours should be fine. Turadium should absolutely work for what you want. Perfect shield height and width.

Once again a great sub thanks for working with me.

Approved.
