Shield Generator

Shield Generators are devices which establish a kinetic barrier around a certain area. Portable Shield Generators (PSG) are used to create these barriers around the user, increasing protection.

Portable Shield Generators
Although manufactured by different manufacturers, all PSGs are given a tier, denoting the strength of the kinetic barrier, and a Edward-Mannerheim Ratio (EM), denoting their required energy reserve. The Tier (A, B, C, etc.) corresponds directly to the AC of the PSG and the EM ratio number (I, II, III, etc.) corresponds to one tenth of the energy reserve.

For example, a DW-BII is a Dicks and Williams Fabrications PSG with +2 AC (B denoting Tier 2) and 20 energy reserve (II denoting EM 2; 20 energy).
