Capital Field Generator Mk2 (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) 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 Mk2 is a common system, usually found on capital ships likely to see occasional or moderate combat. Its main purpose remains the deflection of micro asteroids, ionised particles and cosmic background radiation, for which it is superbly suited even at relativistic speeds. Use of a single CFG Mk2 as a defence against attack weapons (kinetic as well as energetic) is good/acceptable outside of large-scale tactical situations. However they do add protection cumulatively; the more generators types 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 larger generators and their complex source distribution mounted over the hull surface restrict their use to the larger capital ships.
