SPECIAL FEATURES

Strengths:
  • Easy to Transport: About the size of a large grenade before deployed, the IC-Portable Shield is easy to transport, even more than one.
Weaknesses:
  • Single Use: As soon as the device hits the ground its as good as gone. Impossible to salvage.
  • Low Yield: While great in a pinch against small arms fire like traditional military blasters and slugthrowers, the shield will overload much faster than our average personal shield and will overload after a single volley of fire from artillery or laser cannon fire.
  • Lightsabers: While the shield may stop a lightsaber in its tracks, its only for a second, lightsabers short out the shield in a single slash, its energy output too concentrated for the shield to handle.
  • Other IC-Portable Shields: If two shields colide they short each other out and cause a small explosion from the shield projector, harming whoever is inside.
DESCRIPTION
Unclear when it was developed or who developed it first, the IC-Personal Shield, or just called Bubbles on Zanj, were a common device sold and made on the small world as a cheap alternative to personal shields which were thought of as overly expensive to the general public of the slightly poorer moon world. The Bubbles were a cheap way to keep safe from incoming attacks and could be made for a single person or slightly larger to protect a small unit in combat. While several variants and editions of "Bubbles" are made and sold on Zanj, the most well known is the one produced by Imani Corp. The IC-Personal Shield is standard in every way and extremely easy to obtain in the larger cities on Zanj. It protects from both energy and projectile weapons, however lightsabers short out the shield in a single blow and doesn't protect against gasses or other environmental dangers. The shield will last for several minutes if not under fire but will go down sustained fire from blasters or small volleys from lasers or heavy weapons. Its main function is not the same as typical personal shields and is meant to aid in battles of attrition for slow or non-moving units.
