Suit shields

Suit shields

Modern battle suits may have incorporated energy shield technology. The higher the Techlevel the better the shields. While Union Technology is generally at TL 8. The shield technology came from a TL 11 society (Seenians ). Like the Translocator technology, the currently used TransDim shields (Military only and Highly classified) are far superior and more reliable than the original Seenians shields.

Shimmer shields (So called because they brightly shimmer and emit light) in general are spherical, while Union shields are contour shields. However Kermac, Karthanian and Dai Shimmer shields are quite advanced and are able to create semi contour shields and shield gaps (For weapon and propulsion purposes). The strength and deflective capacity of shields vary greatly with model, technology level and type. Primitive TL 3 and 4 shields are usually magnetic in nature and unable to deflect beam or energy weapons. Shimmer shields are excellent against energy weapons but easily overwhelmed by physical projectiles. The most advanced shields known are the suit shields incorporated into the Quasimodo 6000 system. As always Union shieds are tripple redunant and in case of the Q6000 each shield point projector is energy independent, drawing from a Zero Point energy source. The Q6000 shields are able to sustain and deflect one Trillion calories of energy) per layer and per minute.
