Shields 1: module

Class I Shields (Ship Module; Defenses)

''Defensive shielding protects a ship from harm by projecting an intense energy field in the direction of incoming projectiles. Shields can be installed in any of the four external quadrants to protect that quadrant. Alternatively, a shield module can be placed in the interior central hull, although the protective energies will be divided equally between the external quadrants. Shield quadrants can be depleted individually.''
