Force Field Projector Mk2 (Ship part)

The Force Field Projector (colloquially also known as 'Shield Generator') generates an ultra-strong gravito-magnetic field capable of deflecting many forms of matter, matter streams, and energy. Its field intensity (i.e. density) decreases to the third power over distance; therefore, the force it is emitting (and likewise, capable of withstanding) is a product of energy output and distance to its magnetic focal point. Mounting Force Field Projectors in close proximity to the objects/features they are protecting reduces energy requirements and is common practice - but it is also a systemic weak point that can't be mitigated easily.

The FFP Mk2 is the standard model used by all military stations and vessels that are not expected to see heavy combat on a daily basis. Its defence against micro asteroids and cosmic radiation is superb, even at relativistic speeds. Defence against attack weapons (kinetic as well as energetic) is good/acceptable outside of large-scale tactical situations.
