- A shield generator which is built by combining and refining Umbaran and Mon Calamari shield technologies.
- Puts out two distinct shield layers, an interior one-way particle shield, and an exterior deflector shield over sections of a ship and programmed into forming the shapes of their ships.
- A large subsystem which is built within the hull of a ship so that it doesn't stick out and form a potential target.
- Its strength is relative to the amount of power that is pumped into it that its coolant systems can manage.
- The coolant system has a secondary and an emergency set of pumps, lines, and tanks.
- A powerful shield generator able to be flexibly programmed and otherwise set up to be put onto a variety of ships.
- Can withstand a massive amount of punishment.
- Can be programmed to expand to shore up weak spots in the sections of neighboring generators.
- Can withstand high-velocity kinetic rounds, like those fired from railguns or assault missiles.
- Like any other shield an ion weapon with a power source greater than its own can heavily degrade or even disable it.
- It's a power hog, needs a powerful set of reactors to back it up at its full capacity.
- In order to operate as designed it needs to be manually-operated from a control center or from the bridge. If these control centers are knocked out it can only operate in its previous setting, and cannot adapt to and shore up weaknesses in adjacent shield sections.
- The ship's own craft cannot pass through the shield to return unless the shield is lowered.
A brand-new shield generator system developed for decades as the beautiful love-child product of Umbaran and Mon Calamari shield technology. Has among the first true one-way particle shields and outer breaking deflector shield to assist in weakening a railgun or assault missile projectile. With a rapid recycling rate the outer shield is able to continually replenished so that ion cannons require massive power output to short them out and that large numbers of even heavy railguns will not get through to the main shields unscathed. The main one-way particle shield allows for projectiles and small craft to leave but cannot return unless the shield is lowered. However this is still more efficient and stronger than the previous triple-layer setup where the shields didn't have a one-way capability. These shields are designed to be able to withstand railgun rounds thanks to the new emphasis on potential enemy forces using such weapons systems.
