The Sentinel is a lightweight personal energy shield useful in a multitude of fields ranging from security and crowd control to combat. Its durasteel frame is portable and resistant to kinetic damage, protecting the wielder from slugthrowers and thrown projectiles. It can withstand a modest amount of damage from vibroblades, energy pikes, and even lightsabers, though the latter can cut rather easily through the shield's frame.

An integrated portable shield generator designed by Maji Ironworks fills the frame with deflector shield panels that deflect blaster fire and explosive impacts, provided they are not moving slow enough to pass through. Blasters and other weapons can be pushed through the shield, enabling the wielder to fire from behind it. This unfortunately goes both ways, however. Keeping enemy forces away from the shield is ideal.

In Confederate space where crime syndicates and foreign intelligence agencies are a constant threat, the Sentinel personal energy shield has become an increasingly necessary tool in penal facilities where these dangerous individuals are housed. The Sentinel is durable enough for combat applications as well, seeing use by defensive forces at a variety of CIS military outposts and orbital stations. Its simple yet effective design enables both organics and battle droids to utilize it, making the Sentinel a well-rounded security solution throughout CIS space.
