Enhanced Planetary Defense Shield

A relatively new innovation in planetary defense, the tachyon shield
generator, is generally more powerful than the average planetary shield
found on many planets today. The shield functions by manipulating the
faster-than-light particles known as tachyons and "forging" them into a
protective barrier.

Model: Welkret Engineering's PD-2 Tachyon Shield Generator
Type: Planetary shield generator
Scale: Capital
Skill: Planetary shields
Crew: 59, skeleton: 10/+5
Crew Skill: Planetary shields: Tachyon 6D
Cover: Full
Cost: 1,500,000 (new)
Availability: X
Body: 5D
Sensors: Sensor Baffle (adds +2D to Difficulty to detecting generator)
Game Notes: The PD-2 provides up to 5D Death Star scale shielding to a 150
            kilometer area. Combined generators within 50 kilometers of each
            other can increase the total shield strength +2D per extra
            generator. Implementing such devices for full planetary coverage
            is often more than almost any local government can afford so
            these shields are generally reserved for major cities and/or
            important military bases.
