• General information:
  • The Skjöldr is an energy shield that can be used in all areas of life. It provides a high level of protection against a myriad of effects, making both types of the shield widely used.
  • The shape, size and form of the shield can be modified incredibly well and easily. It can be a body-shielding shield, hemisphere, sphere, it can take the shape of an actual shield, or they can use the form of vehicles / spaceships, etc.
  • Each shield is powered by HAPU, which gives them a very long life / operation.
  • Shield projectors are very light in all forms, so they can be easily transported and used. This is especially useful for personal use.
  • It’s worth noting that thanks to HAPU, the shield lasts a long time and provides good protection even under attack.
  • The shield is adequately protected, which means that if it receives too many attacks and its energy source, HAPU, overheats or is damaged, it is not likely to explode because even in the event of a failure or overheating, the shield will shut down. For larger devices, the backup power sources take over their original location until the main energy source(s) cools down.
  • Versions larger than personal shields already have at least one HAPU backup power source, but the personal version can also provide one upon personal request.
• MP-042s: (smaller version)
  • There is minimal difference in protection compared to the "larger" version. The fact is that it does not have protection against magnetic, gravitational / pressure effects and attacks, but it does provide protection against lightsabers.
  • This version is typically used to protect individuals, themselves, smaller vehicles, droids, and typically things that we hold into personal space, even smaller buildings.
• MP-042l: (larger version)
  • There is minimal difference in protection compared to the "smaller" version. The fact is that it does not have protection against lightsabers, but it does provide protection against magnetic, gravitational / pressure effects and attacks.
  • This version is typically used to protect buildings, larger vehicles, spaceships, cities, planets and so on, rather than for personal use.
• It’s important to note that these are just guidelines, if anyone wants, they can use the smaller version to protect spaceships or planets. Just like the larger version can be used as a personal shield. These are just suggestions for use and show the average usage.

• High resistances: The Skjöldr offers great protection against a myriad of effects such as kinetic, energy, environmental, radiation, EMP/ion.
• Wide-use: It can be used and manufactured in a variety of sizes, from tiny/small bucklers to planetary shields. NB: The adjustable size that can be created depends on the size of the projector that creates the shield. For example: a personal shield will not be used on a vehicle or building. And no planetary shield can be used on a Star Destroyer.
• Long-lifetime: Thanks to the HAPU, it has a very long operating and lifetime.

• Overheat: During continuous attacks, the shield-projector may overheat, which may cause damage to the HAPU or begin to overheat. For safety reasons and to prevent an explosion, the shield will turn off until the HAPU cools down. Larger shields use backup HAPU units to avoid this, although the personal shields do not have backup unit(s).
• Lack of Resistance: The shield does not provide protection against countless things, or only very little, such as sonic attacks, disruptors, acid and corrosive effects, electricity or the Force.
• Failure, explosion: In case of failure and injury, in better cases the HAPU will shut down, in worse cases it can have catastrophic consequences. This is because the unit may explode. The larger the unit, the larger the explosion; the explosion of a city grade unit can also cause the destruction of the city.
• EMP/Ion: Although the outer casing of the units and the system itself protect against EMP / Ion attacks, continuous high level impacts or attacks break through the protection, or overcharge the shields and projectors and those shuts down.

Modern civilization cannot exist without shields, without this there would not really be modern warfare, there would be no cities built under bad conditions; people, spaceships, vehicles, buildings, and other things could not be protected from various attacks and impacts. So it is safe to say that various energy shields are very important.

The HPI Consortium also considers it important for the inhabitants of the galaxy to be able to buy the best of these too. It is well known about the company that they make a lot of products that can be widely used. Why would the energy shields be the exceptions? The company and their engineers have managed to create a shield technology that can be created as any shield projector. All this from the little buckler to the planetary shield.

All systems and shields have their pros and cons. The Skjöldr Energy Shield is produced in two versions. One version focuses more on personal protection and the other on the protection of bigger things. Both are accordingly protected. The personal, for example, has protection against lightsabers, the other is more protective against gravitational effects. There are such minor differences.

Each unit is supplied with energy by HAPU, thanks to which each shield has a very long lifespan, many has backup HAPU units. If anyone wants a reliable, widely used energy shield for essentially anything, the Skjöldr Energy Shield is the best solution.
