STRENGTHS
SHIELD WALL: Designed exclusively to compliment the spartan-esque combat style of Domina Prime when in its basic combat shield mode the shield is incredibly dense and powerful, allowing for a blitz-like offense when complimented with a proper melee weapon. However, when enduring heavy fire from a specific direction the crystal powering the energy shield can further 'expand' the defensive 'cone' of the shield, generating what can be described as a bright 'wall' of energy from around the sides of the shield, allowing Domina to hold the line and push the charge while not only protecting herself but her squadmates who may be behind or beside her. Ideal for defending against firing squads and long range ordinance.
BASH TACTICS: A feature that can ONLY be utilized when the shield is in its basic combat form the Crystal powering the shield over time of being impacted and struck builds kinetic energy within itself which can be built up to then be suddenly and abruptly discharged in a opponents face during an offensive maneuver known as the 'Shield Bash', where striking the foe unleashes a wave of electrical discharges which can disorientate and send enemies flying back if struck hard enough with the shield, making it an effective weapon as well as defense against opponents who aren't used to such devices.
BUBBLE WRAPPED: A more unique design aspect of the shield is its ability to imitate the functionality of a 'bubble shield'. Probably best known in their application with droideka units during the clone wars, the energy produced by the energized Kyber allows the shield tech to, by sacrificing its entire energy reserves sacrifice the combat shield for a one time larger scale bubble shield that can withstand heavy explosives from grenades, missiles, blast from fighters and other heavier forms of weaponry that would commonly wipe an entire surface area on the field. Probably the shields most energy consuming feature, it can only be used once, maybe twice during a battle assuming Domina is able to re-energize and charge the crystal back to full power in order to power it. Used as a 'last defense' to protect not only herself from potential devastation but also her fellow mandos who may unluckily find themselves in the blast radius of an unforeseen sneak attack.
WEAKNESSES
SPARTAN COMMITMENT: Dominas vambraces, unlike other mandalorians who possess all manner of attachments and tools on their braces, with this shield all four arms are incapable of utilizing ANYTHING else but this shield. No whistling birds, no grappling hooks, no hidden blades, no flamethrowers. To wield the shield is to commit to the combat style developed and cultivated by the Knights of Manda. Limiting her combat versatility and forcing her to go all in on shield combat against her foes, allowing clever enemies to eventually work out a solution to get around it rather than having to worry about other 'random surprises'.
DESTABILIZED CORE: The Kyber core Domina uses to power the shield is an unstable product experimented on and 'energized' with fusion energy which, while useful in producing sudden burst of highly potent energy allowing things such as the shield bubble and shield bash to preform effectively, it is also an incredibly unstable source of energy and if disturbed or meddled with can cause a devastating rebound that can damage or even kill Domina. The explosive potential of the crystal if damaged or destroyed is highly dangerous, making running this attachment a risk for those who know where the power source is located within her Beskar'gam
FORCED PRESSURE: The shield was created and designed specifically to withstand and resist heavy kinetic fire, blaster energy and heavy explosive either from rocket launchers or bombs dropped from above. A defense for 'physical' threats. Against the strange and bizarre powers of 'The Force' however the shield may be found severely lacking and may be easily taken advantage of by clever and observant warriors with the force who can quickly catch onto how the shield works and its exact functionalities.
SLOW MOTION: As is the cast with some shields, slow moving objects can easily pass through its energy barrier. In both combat form and bubble form while bullets and blasters may not be able to pass through its defense anyone willing to take their time and slowly slip a dagger through or simply 'trespass' into the bubble will find much success against Domina.
IONIC CHARGE: While highly resistant to emps and things that would potentially disturb its systems, if Dominas armor is damaged enough and the shield is stressed throughout a battle eventually ion charges and emps may be able to 'slip through the cracks' and cause the shield to behave sporadically, randomly shutting on and off or just completely glitching out.
DESCRIPTION
"Come back with your shield, or upon it~"
From it's inception The Aegis was developed to be a multi-functional energy shield capable of both personal protection and the protection of a small group should battle become uncertain and backs are against the wall. Unlike other energy shields which tend to either be to small or to large for practical use, The Aegis utilizes three basic main variants that are used depending on the intensity of the battle at hand.
The Combat shield variant, by far the most reliable and easiest to maintain is the main function of The Aegis. A large, round shield serves as a powerful energy shield that can deflect most manner of destructive attacks. While focused on her arms however the shield tends to be limited on just how much it can defend and deflect despite covering and protecting a large portion of the body, taking the shape of a large concave style shield often measuring between 80-100 centimeters. However, to increase its overall 'defensive range' the shields energy can be 'spread out' and formulated into a 'shield wall' defense which can defend comrades at her side from heavy fire should she need to push the line with allies on her six.
It's final function, a 'last resort' to defend those around her from what would normally be total annihilation is the shields ability to drain the crystals energy to generate a large, powerful bubble of energy capable of defending a small group pulled inside from devastating weapons such as missiles or heavy cannon fire from above for a short time. And while it may not be guaranteed anyone yet alone everyone within the shields protection will survive, their chances are a hell of a lot higher than if they had been struck without it.
In summery, The Aegis was developed and designed to teach Dima the value of protecting her kin rather than focusing on the bloodthirsty feral wrath she often displays in battle. Motivating her to stick with her squad and 'hold the line' and advance the push instead of ditching her teammates in search for 'worthy prey'.
