SPECIAL FEATURES

• Mounted Optics/Monitor Display:
  
  • Mounted onto the interior of the battle shield is a small rectangular monitor which can display the the battlefield action via the photoreceptors that line the edges of the shield in circular sockets
  • The monitor has a rudimentary HUD, in order to not take up too much power. The HUD can display:
    • Distance Readings
    • IFF Tags
    • Target Tagging
  • There is also a comlink mounted within the monitor's frame
  • Secret Compartment Window:
    • Should the circuitry be rendered functionless by an EMP/ION attack, there is a manual switch that the shield's user can employ that will slide the armor where the logo is to reveal a manual sight window
    • Pictured Right
• Weapon's Holster Rack:
  • Towards the bottom of the shield there is a holster rack that runs across the shield
  • This can be used by the shield's user to holster secondary weapons
• Gravitational Field Disruptor Assisted Maneuvering:
  • Mounted just below the Monitor Display is a Gravitational Field Disruptor
  • When activated it provides a disruptor gravitational field to the shield, and much like a repulsor, allows for easier movement of the shield
• Retractable Spikes:
  • At the bottom rim of the shield, retractable spikes can shoot out and impale the earth to lock the shield to the ground
• Magnetic Grip Guard:
  • The grip guard for the user's arm to slot in can magentically lock to the vamrbance of their armor
  • It can also be manually turned off to allow quick release

  • Built to take a beating
  • Display Monitor for better tactical awareness
  • Cortosis Rim Plating to mitigate Lightsaber slashing

WEAKNESSES

• ION/EMP HELL:
  • Heavily vulnerable to EMP/ION attacks
  • Will overload the small energy cap that powers the circuitry

DESCRIPTION
Mk.I Battle Shield is designed to be the ultimate mobile physical defense armor for the New Imperial Order Infantry. The shield is oft used in tandem with Heavy Gunner Troopers, allowing for cover protection as the set up E-webs, or move in on a heavily guarded position on foot with repeating blasters. In other instances, the shield can be used for personal defense in urban warfare.

The Mk.I is heavy. While not heavy enough to fully pin a troopers, without its gravitational field disruptor assistance, it can definitely slow down a trooper. Charging with it is out of the question. But, such is the point. The Mk.I is designed for slow and tactical advances that can provide cover for other troopers providing heavy and concentrated suppressive fire, while other more mobile infantry move in.
