Description: The second offering in advanced shielding systems from Mon Calamari Shipyards is the new Delphus.2-class shielding systems. It is based on the far more powerful Delphus.4 system but meant for open mass production. The system is based around the core of the Delphus.2 but only offered double redundancy. It utilizes a total of six shield projectors working in concert to provide three layers of shielding for military, commercial, and civil customers.
The Shielding starts with the main Shield projector array. This is housed in the central cage of the Generator. This projector provides four hundred SBD of standard single layer protection over a three hundred meter radius. This main layer projector includes protection from various sources of damaging effects by incorporating a series of special projector arrays. A ray shield array protects from energy based weapons and spacial effects. A particle shield array protects from kinetic weapons which fire projectiles and from space debris and solid matter. A relativistic shield array is included to protect from temporal effects. a rad-dampening shield array protects from harmful radiation from weapons and spacial anomalies. An atmospheric-friction shield array to protect the ship from entering and exiting a planets atmosphere. An ion shield array protects from harmful ionic interference such as Ion storms and Ion Cannon fire.
Advanced dedicated capacitance systems aid in providing the constant power the projector needs. Power loop capacitors direct power from the vessels reactors core boosting the shield arrays power which is then supercharged by Capacitor Overchargers that store the power in dedicated Capacitor Banks built into the base of the projector. This power is then distributed to all ten of the systems projectors by redundant Power Cables, giving them the constant power needed for peak operational defense. Redundant Cooling Cables are ran throughout the system maintaining optional temperature around the capacitance and electrical systems.
Around the main shield projector are four double strobe shield projectors.
These projectors each contain a Ray and Particle shield array adding further protection from energy and kinetic damage. Each of the four projectors work in sets of two projectors which modulate the shield harmonics. This alternating frequency shielding provide two redundant layers. The total output of these shield projectors is less than the main projector usually projecting a bubble of one hundred SBD over the same three hundred meters. These projectors are equipped with lateral control systems which allow the projectors to focus their shielding into one arc rather than a bubble. This can increase the defensive power by two hundred SBD into the focused shield arc.
A sixth smaller projector is built into the base of the structure, below the main projector, which emits a smaller field which offers the projector itself its own shielding. The field only extends out around the projector and offers no protection to the vessel outside defense for the projector.
These projectors are built into their own alusteel armored encasement and can be installed inside our outside the vessel as per the customers order. Each projector covers a defined shield zone which generally encompasses two hundred meters. This allows for further protection but overlapping the shield bubbles on the outer reaches of the projectors limits. Projectors flanking a single projector can focus their projection zones to aid that projector if needed. This in theory adds a third layer of protection over sections of the vessel when needed. This however leaves the adjacent projectors supplying the additional coverage fewer layers.
Strengths:
* Formidable Defense - The system offers heavy triple layer defense for starships
Weaknesses:
* Expensive - the system is very expensive to build and install. While not limited to Man calamari Vessels the Delphus.2 is rather expensive
* Difficult To Repair - The system is very complex and full of redundant systems. While this aids in keeping it working far longer than other systems once damages the ship must be repaired by a certified Mon Calamari Shipyards trained Engineer. Remote repair is provided. We will come to you. We also offer a free four week training course for you or someone you chose in the upkeep and repair of this projector with its purchase.
