Early in the development of kinetic barrier technology, engineers found themselves stymied by an inability to project kinetic barriers. While they could create them, they were limited to doing so along the plane of a conductor. While fringe emission lobes did exist along the surface, these were inadequate to provide

To begin our discussion of protective technologies, notionally, there are four types of shielding: * particle shielding; * ray shielding; * gravity shielding; * irreality shielding. Particle & Ray Shielding The most important and most common of these, of course, are the first two: particle shielding and ray shielding. Naturally, both of these are

Force-Field Door: Not generally used, since sensible engineers and architects by and large put doors there for a reason, and prefer it when the doors do not vanish as soon as the power goes out. Even less used as airlocks or spacetight doors, since it’s even more embarrassing when
