STRENGTHS
- Convenient: The shield can fold up or deploy in less than a second, making it easy to store and quick to engage when needed
- Grip: The backplate in which it collapses is electromagnetic, allowing the user to mount it to a surface or to a vambrace for a steady grip. It also has a center grip in the backplate when the user wishes to get more sporty with how they use the handle.
- Mechanical: Purely a mechanical design, the shield isn’t reliant on electronic systems to operate.
- Cover: Also integrated into the shield is a collapsing stand that allows the user to mount it on the ground as improvised cover.
WEAKNESSES
- Jamming: While rare, there is a possibility for the mechanism to jam in some situations.
- Heavy: Made from heavy, thick materials, the shield can be cumbersome to handle and carry for long periods.
- Force: Apart from sheer rugged design, the shield offers no protection to force attacks.
- Size: Unlike deflector shields, the round shield can only cover a portion of the user, and only in one direction.
DESCRIPTION
A symbol for the clan. The shield is made specially for members of clan Krayt for general use in a variety of situations. Whether it be in open war or the confined spaces of a ship, the user will always have a solid form of defense no matter where they are.
To save on space, the shield is able to collapse in on itself for transport and the electromagnetic backplate can mount on just about any metallic surface, whether it is a user’s vambrace or the back of their armour.
