- Intent: Create man-portable stasis field generator technology that provides a capability to non-force users they currently don't have, although not to the same extreme that true force users possess this capability.

- Model: Personal Stasis Field Generator.
- Modularity: Yes (Can be scaled).
- Production: Mass-Produced.
- Material:
- Hydrogen storage device.
- Wrist/Forearm mounted generator.
- Palm/gauntlet mounted projector.
- Duration: Depending on the rarity and power supply for the unit, the man-portable versions of the stasis field generators can induce a time dilation effect typically up to fifteen seconds for mass-produced models to one hundred and twenty seconds for the most exquisite or modified examples.
- Stasis Fields: Using the generator, an industrial worker can send an arcane blue shot from their palm projector, which impacts moving machinery to slow it to safe speeds, allowing maintenance to be performed without necessarily taking the machinery offline for an extended period. The field has law enforcement and military applications. Law enforcement personnel can use this technology to introduce a time-dilation effect on the target, allowing a target to be apprehended safely.
- Time dilation effect: Locations or persons affected by the stasis effect experience different relativistic 'inertial frame of reference' where time dilates to pass slower, but from the perspective of the affected location, it appears the unaffected are moving much faster, while the observer the affected area or person is moving significantly slower.
- Cherenkov Radiation: When a projectile or beam of highly energised hydrogen passes through an atmosphere or space, they emit a brilliantly beautiful azure blue, making it extraordinarily obvious when it is being used and not precisely covert. The projectiles fired from the man-portable versions of this generator typically have projectile velocities of around twenty-five metres per second.
- Gas Supply: The generator relies on a supply of Hydrogen gas typically carried in some receptacle or storage device; once depleted, the storage device needs to be refilled or replaced.
- Limited Range: Man-portable examples of this technology typically can't hold enough power to keep the excited deuterium-tritium particles together, and they unravel between thirty-five to fifty metres.
- Physical damage: Physical damage to the wrist-mounted generator, such as direct strikes from kinetic or directed energy weapons, for example, can disable or disrupt its operation. A malfunctioning device may discharge unpredictably and trap its' user in the time-dilated stasis field. A destroyed device will release its' excited hydrogen particles trapping the user in the time dilation field for a time.
Portable stasis field generators were initially designed and manufactured by State Defence Industries in response to a tender from the Ryk's government for a device to create and manipulate stasis fields intended for use by the Ryk's law enforcement and military personnel. State Defence Industries produced the first functional devices in about 878 ABY. The underlying technology has been adopted and used to build models adopted across a wide range of civil industries such as Fabrication, medicine and mining due to its ability to be used to slow down active machinery to allow for safe maintenance work when for practical or production reasons can't be taken offline due to a critical role it fulfils. The stasis technology has also found use in medical purposes such as field medicine, where it can be used on casualties to stop or staunch major bleeds, or in hospitals where 'Stasis beds' beds equipped with hydrogen canisters and stasis modules are used in the emergency department to stabilise critically injured patients and during surgical procedures.
