Capital Field Generator Mk1 (Ship part)

The Capital Field Generator (colloquially also known as 'Capital Shield Generator') generates a conformal ultra-strong gravito-magnetic field capable of deflecting many forms of matter, matter streams, and energy. It uses complex wave shaping and multiple source channelling to give a uniform field intensity (i.e. density) just over the hull surface of any capital ship that can mount it. As a result, the precise positioning of the generator on the hull surface is no longer critical to total hull coverage as in the case of Force Field Projectors.

The CFG Mk1 is a common system, usually found on capital ships unlikely to see much combat. Its main purpose is the deflection of micro asteroids, ionised particles and cosmic background radiation. Its use as a defence against attack weapons is necessarily somewhat limited but they do add protection cumulatively; the more generators that are mounted, the stronger the hull shielding.

The generator surface elements are protected by their own fields which must be overcome before the generator can be disabled by direct attack. The sheer size of these generators and their complex source distribution mounted over the hull surface restrict their use to the larger capital ships.
