Personal Shields


Civilian Grade Shield Systems

Defender Personal Shield: 300 USD/unit

This small unit is about the size of a waist pouch and projects a form fitting shield that protects against common caused of injury. Sensors in the mechanism sense when objects such as knives or fists are going to impact and activates the shield automatically. This shield offers excellent protection against human force attacks and will increase survival rates in vehicle crashes.

It runs off a super-conductor power cell which is good for 1 hour of continual use.

Protector Personal Shield: 1000 USD/unit

Slightly more bulky than the Defender shield system the Protector offers better protection. Along with being capable of what the Defender can do it adds the bonus of being able to protect completely against small caliber handgun or energy weapon blasts and increase the risk of survival versus medium calliber weapons. It is equivalent to the Defender in protecting in vehichle crashes.

It runs of 2 super-conductor power cells which are good for powering the shield constantly for 45 minutes.

Interceptor Personal Shield: 10,000 USD/unit

This is the pinnacle in civillian personal shielf technology. This shield is actually less bulky than the Defender but far more protective offering total protection against human force attacks, small calliber weapons and household eletrocution. It prevents the penetration of medium calliber weapons reducing their effect to minor injuries such as bruising and minor burns. It also offers guranteed survival in all but the most violent of vehicle crashes.

This shield runs off of 3 high-capacity micro powercells which are good for 3 hours of continuous use.

Military Grade Shield Systems

M-Interceptor Shield: 30,000 USD/unit

Same protective effects as the civillian Interceptor shield. This shield differs as it is built into light body armor. This makes the shield excellent for vehicle crews where they are not expected to enter heavy infantry combat.

Power cell is good for 10 hours of continuos use.

Infantry One: 40,000 USD/unit

Incorporated into the standerd battle armor of your infantry troops this shield offers excellent protection against shrapnel and small to medium calliber weapons. It reduces direct hit low end large calliber fire to moderate but survivable injury.

Power cell is good for 10 hours of continues use.

Vehicle Shields

Civillian Grade Shield Systems

Enviroguard 1000: 600 USD/Unit

These shields are a form fitting shield projected by emmitters place in the frame of the vehicle. It protects the paint finish against the elements and insect strikes.

Runs off of the vehicle motor while in use or can use power-cell for 5 hours of continuous use.

Life Saver 2150: 1200 USD/unit

Our best protection available for civillian vehicles. It has a low cost as we at APC are devoted to saving lives. This shield offers a complete intertial dampning system and internal and external shield projectors. The internal system shields and dampners shield the passengers from harm while the external shields work to deflect whatever is impacting the vehicle saving more lives in vehicle on vehicle crashes.

This system comes in a high impact case with a 48 hour power cell.

Starfighter Shields

Military Grade Shield Systems

Stonewall-class starfighter shield: 500,000 USD/ unit

This basic shield protects against glancing hits from other starfighter weaponry.

Max dissipation peak: 8.4x10^12 Watts
Heat sink capacity: 4.2x10^12 Joules

Starship Shields

Military Grade Shield Systems

Level 1 Vector Shield: 5,000,000 USD/unit

This shield follows the contours of the hull several meters out. It is vectorial so allows you to fire out of the shield without dropping them. This shield is designed for corvetted and up to mid-sized frigates.

Max dissipation rate: 4.2x10^17 Watts
Heat sink capacity: 4.2x10^18 Joules

Level 2 Vector Shield: 10,000,000 USD/unit

Like all of out hull-hugging shields this shield is vectorial and allows you to fire out or launch fighters or missiles without dropping your shields. This shield is designed for use on large frigates or small destroyers.

Max dissipation rate: 4.2x10^19 Watts
Heat sink capacity: 4.2x10^20 Joules

Theatre Shields

Military Grade Shield Systems

Infantry Dome Shield Level 1: 5,000,000 USD/unit

This shield projects a ground contact dome with a diameter of 400 meters. It protects against bombardment from enemy artillery. It is non-vectorial making it impossible to fire out of the shield while it is activated.

Power generator operates so long as it is fueled.

Planetary Shields

Military Grade Shield Systems

Level 1 Global Defence Shield: 500,000,000,000 USD/planet

This is our most basic planetary shield. It offers complete global coverage with the shield located 100 km above the surface. The shield network is connected to a massive series of thermally super-conducting heat sinks and neutrino radiators allowing for excellent protection. It can resist a Base-Delta Zero operation indefinetly.

Max dissipation rate: 3x10^27 Watts
Heat Sink capacity: 3x10^30 Joules

Level 2 Global Defence Shield: 1,500,000,000,000 USD/Planet

A more powerful version of the Level 1 shield. The shield canopy is 150 km above the surface and connected to a massive array of thermally super-conductive heat sinks and neutrino radiators. It can protect your planet from a bare minimum planet destroying blast.

Max dissipation rate: 4x10^29 Watts
Heat Sink capacity: 4x10^ 32 Joules

OOC: Interesting. I may just make a few purchases when this is up and running. Shields seem to be my weak point, and I'm gonna be needing a lot of them soon...

All items displayed are available to order. More are on their way.

bump, I added a vehicle shield and a planetary shield

Added two military personal shields and added a general description of the planetary shield strength.

Bump for any orders or feedback.

All types now have 1 prodcut available.

Level 2 Global Defence Shield: 1,500,000,000 USD/Planet

A more powerful version of the Level 1 shield. The shield canopy is 150 km above the surface and connected to a massive array of thermally super-conductive heat sinks and neutrino radiators. It can protect your planet from a bare minimum planet destroying blast.

Max dissipation rate: 4x10^29 Watts
Heat Sink capacity: 4x10^ 32 JoulesA shield capable of dissipating 95.5 exatons (Or the yield of about 6.37 quadrillion Hiroshima bombs) per second for less than 1/3 the price of a Nimitz carrier?
