artifact shields
Added 2020-10-17 21:20:35 +0000 UTCArtifact sheilds can be found all over the Shell, but they're most common in Duhr.
They fix a thin field of particles in the air in front of them, which looks like a hazy, glowing disk. These particles. will arrest anything that tries to pass through them. You can actually press on the shield-- it's tangible. Like a non-newtonian fluid, you can deform it with your hand, but objects traveling really fast will just smash against it.

Hit it with too much stuff and the particles will get knocked out of position and disrupted, so you can disable them with enough concentrated gunfire or just like, one real big heavy thing.
When a shield is "broken" it's particle field will dissolve and blow away. The shield will then try to "replenish" itself, ripping ancient particulate from the environment around it. Shield operators must always carry a high-purity ceramic source, or the sheild will try and rip the particles out of their own bodies...
