The Stark Industries Pentagon Composite Shield Core. The ultimate in defense. This unit can only be built into ships. And cannot be installed on already completed ships, par its size and energy requirements.
- A brief Description: The PCSC is a massive two hundred meter by two hundred meter Isocohedron shaped Shielding core, built around a hyper matter annihilation reactor. The sheer size of this core means it can only be built onto capital grade ships. And, at the very least, a Medium as far as ship class. The PCSC is not in fact a single generator, but is hundreds of micro generators connected to each other by complex telemetry processors, targeting computers, fire control tracking processors, and plotting solution computronics. The shield works not be generating a single solid shield. But by generating a mass of smaller, meter large, polygon shaped shields. This smaller size dictates that the shield will thus be stronger (as a singe generator is trying to protect but a meter large area, and not a whole ship). This mass of polygons, proliferate enough to encompas a whole ship, are projected in a kind of shutter shield formation. Now, as we all know, shutter shields can't be projected in a curve. The problem of encompassing the hole ship was absolved by simply directing the polygons into a Isocohedron shell. Thus forming a solid barrier at all angles from attack. Now, this shell is actually the first of three, as two more layers of polygons are projected and then stacked ontop of another in a kind of grid locking fashion. This way, the shield actually has three layers of interlocking polygons, formed in a isocohredron shaped shell.
- Defensive capabilities: The shell, mentioned before hand, is highly versatile. If a panel on the outer most layer is damaged, than it can be shut off, then shuffled with one on the bottom layer, thus making the shield, when in this formation, highly versatile. And, all in all, three times stronger than a normal shield. It takes a tremendous amount of time to chip away at the shield. And, even when all but four or five panels have been destroyed, these panels can still (thanks to the processors integrated into the shields generator) be placed directly into the way of incoming bolts or missiles, selectively negating damage, without having to have coverage over the whole ship.
- Offensive capabilities: When desired, the shield can be switched to an alternative "Offensive" mode. This mode shunts all of the reactors power to a small group of generators, making them incredibly strong, at the expense of leaving the rest of the ship unarmored and exposed to attack. These select panels in conjunction with a modified Magnetic containment-bubble generator, which uses electro magnetic seals to make these few deflectors panels protected by a magnetic seal, make it so that these select panels are virtually invulnerable to blaster fire. All blaster, laser, and turbo laser bolts will simply ricochet harmlessly off of the shield.
