The Weavefield Projector is a powerful defensive technology employed by the Leagues of Votann that emits a very powerful protective force field that can be adjusted for multiple uses and to cover various extents ranging from protecting a single soldier to an entire voidship or even a city.
The Kin make a specialty of force field technologies. The crowning glory and most ubiquitous example of Brôkhyr force field technology is the Weavefield Projector. Variants of Weavefield Projector have been developed for everything from personal protection for void miners and soldiers of the line, to massive examples that are used to protect Kin voidships.
The system employs an energy-weaving technique called "weavewërke" which interlaces energy frequencies common to both refractor and conversion field technology employed by the Imperium, interlinked with more exotic energies -- such as magnetic repulsion fields. The resultant multispectral energy shield is maintained either in a personal energy cowl, or else projected outwards to form a protective dome, the better to shelter entire squads of Kin warriors or bands of Cthonian miners.
Amongst the Kinhosts, Weavefield Projectors are commonly worked into armoured crests worn on personal void armour, exo-armour or mounted on war engines. From here, their shimmering, amber energies flow outward into translucent energy domes, capable of intercepting even esoteric or apocalyptic-scale munitions depending on the scale and capacity of their power generators.
