- Primary Source: Whimsy Shield
- Manufacturer: Whimsy
- Affiliation:
- Company: Whimsy
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: GGS-002
- Modularity:
- Finish/color selectable.
- Mountable on vambrace, palm plate, or weapon chassis (cannot be used free-standing)
- Production: Minor
- Material: Circuity
- Classification: Personal Energy Shield Projector
- Weight: Very Light
- Resistances
- Blasters: Very High
- Kinetic: Very High
- Lightsabers: Very High (rapid drain on sustained contact)
- Sonic: None
- EMP/ION: None (device hard-kills until manual reset)
- Other: Not intended to block gas, toxins, environmental hazards, or area denial.
- Short-Burst Absorption Profile: Optimized to soak intense, brief hits (e.g., 2-3 rifle bolts, 1-2 solid saber clashes, or a couple of slug impacts) over a handful of seconds.
- Duty Cycle & Runtime: When idling (not actively absorbing), continuous-on runtime ~15 minutes per charge. Under fire, cumulative "hard" protection per charge ~6-8 seconds before recharge is required.
- Energy Bleed-Off: Automatically bleeds stored energy as harmless heat over ~30-45 seconds while inactive (faint shimmer).
- Controls: Recessed tactile button or weapon-mount rocker; double-tap = 0.75 s parry burst; hold = up to 2 s wall (heavy drain).
- Indicators: Tri-LED ring shows capacity/overheat; audible chirp on overload.
- Power & Recharge: Diatium microcell + ultracap buffer; hot-swappable cell or recharge via armor power bus.
- Aesthetics: Default pink field; hue can be changed via Whimsy calibrator.
- Burst Tanking: Excellent at eating short, high-intensity bursts from blasters or melee energy contact.
- Compact Coverage: Small, directional field enables aggressive parries and peeks without full-bubble drawbacks.
- Mount-Friendly: Integrates cleanly into vambraces, palm plates, or compatible weapons.
- Hard Counters: Sonic and EMP/ION will reliably disable or bypass the projector.
- Sustained Pressure: Continuous beams, automatic fire, or prolonged saber grinding will quickly force an overload.
- Not Environmental: Offers no protection against weather, gas, radiation, or terrain hazards.
- Limited Battery: Fast drain under fire; enforced cooldown/lockout after overload.
- No Stacking: Interferes with most other personal shield projectors and active camouflage systems.
The Whimsy GGS-002 is a second-generation personal shield projector built for short, decisive "windows" of safety rather than hands-free invulnerability. Mounted on a user's vambrace, palm plate, or compatible weapon, the GGS-002 throws an energy field , making it perfect for parries, peeking from cover, and catching a burst that would otherwise end a skirmish. While idling it can remain active for roughly fifteen minutes, but it shines when used in brief, intentional activations: a couple of rifle bolts, a hard saber clash, or a single slug you didn't see coming. The projector then bleeds the captured energy as heat over half a minute, telegraphing a soft shimmer and encouraging smart pacing.
Balance-wise, Whimsy leaned into counterplay. Sonic and EMP/ION remain reliable ways to shut it down, and the unit deliberately struggles against environmental threats. Continuous pressure will overload the ultracapacitor buffer; when that happens the GGS-002 fails open, chirps, and locks out until the heat clears or the cell is swapped. It's not a stand-alone defense and was never meant to be. Pair it with armor, a rebreather, and common sense. Default field color is pink (of course), though buyers can recalibrate the hue to suit their aesthetic or to stop friendly fire from being tempted by the glow.
