#REDIRECT [[Shields]]
[[Image:Shields.jpg|frame|right|Shields]]
 
Energy shields are an indisposable element of any ship's equipment in the [[Sirius Sector]], be it civilian or military. A shield can protect it's ship against weapons fire, explosions and collisions.
 
 
 
==Shield types==
 
There are three different shield generation technologies currently in use by humans.  The Nomads also have shield-like technology.
 
 
 
===Positron===
 
Positron shields emit a field of anti-electrons, which quickly atomise an incoming bolt before it manages to damage the hull. Because of this working principle, positron shields are less effective against bolts of photons or lasers.
 
* More effective against: [[Tachyon|tachyon]], [[Neutron|neutron]] weapons
 
* Less effective against: [[Laser|laser]], [[Photon|photon]], [[Pulse|pulse]] weapons
 
 
 
===Graviton===
 
Graviton shields generate a strong, vibrating gravitational field which deflects incoming fire before it manages to impact on the hull. Graviton shields create a magnetic field as a side effect, thus augmenting the power of certain weapons against them, e.g. plasma weapons.
 
* More effective against: [[Photon|photon]], [[Laser|laser]], [[Pulse|pulse]] weapons
 
* Less effective against: [[Plasma|plasma]], [[Particle|particle]] weapons
 
 
 
===Molecular===
 
Molecular shields attempt to repulse projectiles by manipulating magnetic forces. This type of shields manages to easily dissipate electrically charged projectiles, but suffers additional damage from weapons that are little effected by magnetism.
 
* More effective against: [[Plasma|plasma]], [[Particle|particle]] weapons
 
* Less effective against: [[Tachyon|tachyon]], [[Neutron|neutron]] weapons
 
 
 
===Nomad Veil===
 
The [[Nomads]] utilize organisms that function much like human shields do.  These "veils" are made up of a lattice of semi-sentient micro-organisms that bend around the ship and intercept incoming fire.
 
* Nomad Veils show no variance in how they interact with different types of weapons.
