Capital Field Generator Mk3 (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 huge CFG Mk3 is the most advanced and expensive Capital Field Generator available and is found on only the most powerful large capital warships. Its energy requirements are quite excessive, but its field-strength negates the most severe space particle and radiation hazards and it can withstand even heavy combat situations over a prolonged period of time; even one CGG Mk3 is sufficient to temporarily avert most nuclear impacts and small antimatter explosive devices. They add protection cumulatively; the more generators types that are mounted, the stronger the hull shielding - if you can fit them.

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 huge generators and their complex source distribution mounted over the hull surface restrict their use to the larger capital ships.
