Shields
This page is auto-generated from the game database. Hand-edits may be overwritten when the data is re-synced.
Active barriers that regenerate between engagements. Absorbs damage before it reaches hull.
| Name | Manufacturer | Tier | Level | Capacity | Recharge | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Praxar Veil Mk I | Praxar Armaments | I | 1 | 150 | 6 | 900 | Keth-spec light shield. Lower capacity but the fastest regen onset in its class. A Wraith can take a hit and be back at full field before the second shot arrives. |
| Salvage Core | Salvage | I | 1 | 230 | 6.5 | 50 | Generic wreckage. Compacted material with no specific origin. Sells as scrap. |
| Scavenger Chassis Scrap | Salvage | I | 1 | 180 | 4 | 80 | Low-grade salvage. Multiple repair attempts visible. |
| SG-1 Barrier | Nexus Standard | I | 1 | 200 | 5 | 500 | Standard deflector field. Common spec across all three races' basic ship configurations. |
| Stratum Bulwark Mk I | Stratum Field | I | 1 | 180 | 4 | 1000 | Varath-spec shield. Lower capacity than Wayfarer equivalents but built with resistance layering that reduces kinetic impact. Preferred by Vanguard pilots. |
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk I | Wayfarer Instruments | I | 1 | 230 | 6.5 | 1200 | Entry Meridian shield. Larger field envelope than standard issue — trades energy efficiency for superior capacity. Common fit on new Warden and Wayfinder hulls. |
| Praxar Veil Mk II | Praxar Armaments | II | 15 | 300 | 12 | 4200 | Mid-tier Keth shield. Light enough that the energy cost barely registers. The field isn't thick — it doesn't need to be if you don't get hit. |
| Praxar Wreckage Core | Salvage | II | 15 | 460 | 13 | 180 | Salvaged from a Praxar combat vessel. Dense crimson alloy. Praxar ships are built to be destroyed rather than captured. |
| SG-2 Aegis Field | Nexus Standard | II | 15 | 400 | 10 | 2500 | Improved cycling rate. Preferred by pilots operating in sustained combat zones. |
| Stratum Bulwark Mk II | Stratum Field | II | 15 | 360 | 8 | 4800 | Mid-tier Varath shield. The resistance layering is a Stratum specialty — they build equipment that takes punishment, not just absorbs it. |
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk II | Wayfarer Instruments | II | 15 | 460 | 13 | 5800 | Mid-tier Meridian shield. The dual-layer field geometry is a Wayfarer patent — competitors have tried to replicate it for years. |
| Praxar Veil Mk III | Praxar Armaments | III | 30 | 600 | 24 | 14000 | Combat-tier Keth shield. What it lacks in raw absorption it compensates with speed — both regen and the evasion profile that makes the pilot harder to track. |
| SG-3 Ward Matrix | Bastion Arms | III | 30 | 800 | 20 | 10000 | Multi-node distribution. Bastion Arms' influence on this standard is visible in the construction. |
| Stratum Bulwark Mk III | Stratum Field | III | 30 | 720 | 16 | 16000 | Combat-tier Varath shield. Slower regen than Meridian equivalents but the resistance profile makes sustained fire less effective against it. |
| Varath Hull Fragment | Salvage | III | 30 | 920 | 26 | 140 | Plating from a Varath vessel. Stamped with a house glyph that survived whatever destroyed the rest. |
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk III | Wayfarer Instruments | III | 30 | 920 | 26 | 19000 | Combat-tier Meridian shield. The regen architecture is why Wardens can hold a line where other classes cannot. |
| Meridian Hull Shard | Salvage | IV | 45 | 1840 | 52 | 220 | Grown-material fragment from a Vigil or Wayfarer ship. The material resists standard analysis. |
| Praxar Veil Mk IV | Praxar Armaments | IV | 45 | 1200 | 48 | 44000 | Upper-tier Keth shield. A Tempest with this and the right reactor barely registers being shot at. The capacity numbers look modest until you clock the regen rate. |
| SG-4 Bastion Array | Bastion Arms | IV | 45 | 1600 | 40 | 35000 | Hardened military-grade shielding. Rated for continuous combat operations. |
| Stratum Bulwark Mk IV | Stratum Field | IV | 45 | 1440 | 32 | 50000 | Upper-tier Varath shield. What it lacks in regen speed it compensates in raw resistance. A sustained engagement favors this over faster-regen alternatives. |
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk IV | Wayfarer Instruments | IV | 45 | 1840 | 52 | 58000 | Upper-tier Meridian shield. The energy cost is significant — this is a ship that commits to its field. |
| Praxar Veil Mk V | Praxar Armaments | V | 60 | 2250 | 90 | 122000 | Endgame Keth shield. Lowest raw capacity in its class; highest regen rate. Praxar's position is that a shield you never deplete outperforms a shield you occasionally do. |
| SG-5 Fortress Grid | Bastion Arms | V | 60 | 3000 | 75 | 100000 | High-end shield technology derived from Navy capital ship specs. Rarely seen on personal vessels. |
| Stratum Bulwark Mk V | Stratum Field | V | 60 | 2700 | 60 | 138000 | Endgame Varath shield. The composite resistance architecture has been quietly licensed to three other manufacturers. None of them have managed to replicate the full profile. |
| Stratum Extraction Module | Salvage | V | 60 | 3450 | 98 | 160 | Partial drilling assembly from a Stratum extraction vessel. Functional, dirty, and worth something to the right buyer. |
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk V | Wayfarer Instruments | V | 60 | 3450 | 98 | 158000 | Endgame Meridian shield. The field envelope at this mark absorbs ordnance that would gut most other ships. There is a reason Wardens are what they are. |
| SG-6 Phalanx Core | Unknown | VI | 75 | 5500 | 137.5 | 300000 | Experimental shielding with near-instantaneous recharge. Origin uncertain — some components predate current manufacturing methods. |
