STRENGTHS |
- | Harmonic Aegis | The Liskarm pattern shield is an effective 'catch all' defense shielding, marrying the defensive capabilities of systems like that of a Xythan Force Shield to protect it from energy or plasma-based weapons as well as Particle Shields to protect whatever it is cast over from physical projectiles, creating an effective double-layer shielding system that is effective in any scenario.
- | Adaptive Protection | An interesting property of the Liskarm shield is it's 'adaptive' nature. In its default state, it protects from respective projectiles for a set period of time while active, however, if it were to encounter more of a physical projectile over a plasma, power would be diverted from the Xythan Force Shield component of the Liskarm to the Particle Shield and vice versa. This exponentially increases the potency and effectiveness of the shield, allowing it to receive greater damage from the type of ammunition used against it. This system helps to conserve power while maintaining a better shield up time and defense.
- | Energy Leech | The Liskarm is particularly effective against plasma or energy-based weapons as the Xythan Force Shield it is partially based off of can leech off any absorbed energy to further power and boost its shield uptime/potency. Assuming that nothing but energy/plasma weapons barrage it, the Liskarm can sustain itself without any external/additional power sources.
- | Power Hungry | The Liskarm is a rather power-hungry shield system, so it is ideally only activated when it is needed. While this can be circumvented by attaching it to a large power generator or system that can transmit energy to the Liskarm, it is not very practical to carry such a source for infantry as a means of constant protection, making it much weaker compared to city or starship shield variants of the Liskarm.
- | Quick Switch | Despite its 'adaptive protection' the Liskarm can be taken off guard by the sudden switching of munitions if it has been adapted to handle one type over the other. Supposing he Liskarm has adapted to taking plasma-based weaponry, enemies suddenly switching to slugs or the like are more likely to find success in breaching the shield. For this to occur, however, one type of munition has to have been taken for a significant bit for the Liskarm to adapt to a degree where the opposite defense would be put into a severely weakened state.
DESCRIPTION
The XV-001 'Liskarm' Pattern Shield System is a mixture of two separate systems condensed into a single package to compensate for the shortcomings of the other, effectively boosting the defense of whatever it is applied to in an extraordinary manner. The Liskarm was designed to be suited for general defensive coverage that one might come to expect in battle, as such it was specifically designed to defend against two most common threats that the shield may come into contact with; traditional blaster based munitions and ordinance, and physical slugs, bombs/artillery rounds.
The Liskarm can be applied to virtually any platform, from power armor infantry to large starships and even city-wide defenses. While the energy consumption for maintaining the Liskarm can be fairly high, its highly potent defensive protection outweighs such a concern. For its size, the Liskarm offers remarkable defensive capabilities, and complex mechanisms to ensure the best possible defense given the situation those under its protection may find themselves in.
The Liskarm features an adaptive system, allocating energy to one system over the other if it encountered more of one type of ordinance over the other, while the energy/plasma component of the system could be used to further fuel its defensive powers.
