[SIZE=9pt]OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Intent:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] To give the Consortium a specialized deflector shield generators for starships. [/SIZE]

- [SIZE=9pt]Model:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Hapes Deflector Shield Array MS-17[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Modularity:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] No[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Production[/SIZE]: [SIZE=9pt]Minor, [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]This deflector Shield is only produced for ships in the Royal Hapen Navy. [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Material[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Base device is made out of durasteel and computerized components. Shield Collator. Shield Lenses. Shield Booster. Energy Sinks. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Advanced Molecular Shielding - Shielding that can absorb energy based weapons and space anomaly energy. This shielding even has the ability to soak in EMP and Ion Energy. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Strengths[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Energy Transfer / Absorption - The ability to absorb energy rather than just deflecting it. The energy restores shields rather than dissipating or venting the energy. [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Dependency on the Mists- The MS-17 is primarily less effective outside of the Transitory Mists. It continually needs to gather local energy that is constantly dispersed from the massive nebula. Id a Hapes vessel with a MS-17 Deflector Shield is operating outside of the Mists its shielding is less effective to the point it would be running off of depleted energy. There is a chance these shields operating outside of the Mists could be missing up to 50% of the total shields before combat even starts. [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Kinetic Impacts- This shielding is less affective when trying to defect kinetic attacks. Ballistic attacks have a higher chance of chance of piercing the shields defenses. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Terrain is one of oldest factors when determining the outcome of battles. The right tools for the battle field can be a huge boon or disadvantage in combat. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Transitory Mists can be a very hostile area being it is a Nebula of super heated gasses that gives birth to new stars. It constantly produces a great deal of energy that is bombarding the routes you must travel though to get to the star systems within the Mists. There are solar winds, Ionic Storms, and energy like microwaves that ships have to contend with through the Mists. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Starships are constantly under bombardment from energy within the Mists. A dependable shield was needed for sustained fleet combat that was not constantly drained by the constant energy bombardment. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]This is why early on within the Hapes Consortium history they started to use molecular Shielding. A shield that is able to soak in the energy that the Nebula produces was a valuable tool. (From a safe distance in the space lanes). Unlike other shields they would enter in combat with a full set of shields that had not been weakened by the nebula.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The down side to these shields was that they needed constant energy bombardment in order to work effectively.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Another down side is these shields are not very affective vrs…. Kinetic impacts. The shields were designed to deal with energy impacts and kinetic energy was less of a concern. There is little space debris within the Mists because of the nebula in close proximity. Debris is almost none existent because when debris eventually floats near and eventually into the nebula…and thus consumed by the super heated plasma clouds. [/SIZE]
