Voidlight
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
After trying to order a shield system for his starship that seems to be discontinued, Corbin Vasher tasked Force-Tech with developing their own brand of shields. They presented Corbin with this prototype for him to test. It was painstakingly built with extreme attention to detail and developed into a compact and lightweight design. The prototype ended up being stronger than intended and is very strong against all sorts of oncoming damage. It has been tuned to ignore biological organism, so that Corbin could enter and exit his ship with the shields on. This has the unfortunate side-effect of allowing potentially enemies to easily breach the shield. It also does not keep out any biological weapons such as viruses. Also, to accommodate the fact that Corbin carries a lightsaber, the shield was designed to completely ignore lightsaber signatures, meaning any person with a lightsaber can effortlessly bypass the shield to hack at the ship's hull.
Agrinium mesh lining and chromium in the circuitry help protect the housing itself from Ion/EMP damage, but any that bypasses this limited protection could damage the shield, rendering it useless. This means that an enemy could potentially run right through the shield, into the ship, find the shield projector, and hit it with a crippling Ion blast. This would be more difficult to do in space, but is still possible.
The system itself consists of the main housing unit, which is about half the size of a standard shield generator, and tiny linked projectors placed at key points around the ship. The main unit produces the main field of the shields in a bubble surrounding the ship. The smaller units together produce a second shield inside the first that sits on top of the ship itself. Any attack that manages to bypass the first shield also has to get through the second shield, which makes this especially effective against Radiation, which the shields absorb and siphon out behind and away from the ship.
With compact design of the unit, and the tiny linked units, the system is actually rather energy efficient. It doesn't require any more energy than normal shield systems and boasts a rather quick deployment and recharge time.
- Intent: A prototype shield system to test the shield building capabilities of Force-Tech before creating a mass-produced version.
