Void Shield Generator

A Void Shield Generator is used by the military forces of the Imperium of Man to generate potent defensive force fields around ground-based military fortifications. Void Shields are normally localised protective force fields reserved for protecting the monolithic Titans of the Collegia Titanica and the Imperial Navy's great warships, but static generators can be erected to serve as an aegis for other targets of vital import. The largest Void Shield generators can even project an invisible bubble of power across a large area of the battlefield, sheltering both troops and strategically vital battlefield locations by absorbing or deflecting the energy of incoming munitions and directed energy attacks.

An especially powerful attack can temporarily overload a Void Shield, but so long as the building housing the generator itself remains intact, it is rarely long before back-up systems restore power and the shield flares into life once more. Particularly valuable targets are often protected by multiple layers of shielding, the spectrum of each Void Shield meticulously calculated to offer consecutive layers of defence.
