 These Pods were designed in [[timeline:ye_31]] in order to boost shielding capabilities of small craft.
-[[corp:origin]] makes medium-weight pods to be attached to hardpoints on fighters and small craft which augment existing shield types. These pods boost shields to the maximum amount a small craft can sustain. In terms of [[guide:damage_rating_v3]], it automatically makes a starfighter or small craft's shields 'advanced' and add 2 extra threshold points to the total. If the craft already has 'advanced' shielding, it simply adds up to 2 threshold points, never exceeding a total of five. There is a major drawback, however, and that is that these pods take a major energy draw. As such, when the Shield boosting pod is activated, a craft's speed will be reduced by around 14%, trading speed for protection, in essence. The Boosting pod costs 4500 KS.

+===== History =====
+Designed as a way to increase the survivability of the [[corp:origin:scimitar_starfighter]], these pods were developed alongside the craft and put into service in [[timeline:ye_31]] along with the fighter. As they are capable of being utilized on many small craft, the pods are mass-produced and sold separately. They continue to be popular as a cheap way to add extra shielding to a small craft such as a starfighter.
+===== Function and Design =====
+The Shield Boosting pods are medium-weight pods to be attached to hardpoints on fighters and small craft which augment existing shield types. These pods boost shields to the maximum amount a small craft can sustain. In terms of [[guide:damage_rating_v3#more_powerful_armor_and_barriers|extra capacity]], it automatically makes a secondary shield bubble of the same strength as the craft's own shielding systems, and can even function when the original shields have been overloaded. There is a major drawback, however, and that is that these pods take a major energy draw. As such, when the Shield Boosting Pod is activated, a craft's speed will be reduced by around 15%, trading speed for protection, in essence.
+Multiple pods may be added to a single craft, if it can mount them, but each additional pod reduces top speed by 15% again, though no more than four total pods may be added to a single craft.
+Starfighters and small craft with no shielding may mount these pods to give them a single shield per pod, but output is limited to the same tier as the craft due to the power output available.
+The pods contain generators for two types of shielding:
   * [[technology:shield_system#electromagnetic_shields|Electromagnetic shields]]
   * [[technology:shield_system#gravity_shields| Gravitic shielding]]
-  * Nomenclature: OI-V1-S3100
+==== Appearance ====
+The Shield Boosting Pod is essentially a [[materials:durandium]] tube with rounded ends and an attachment point on the top so that it can be affixed to hardpoints on small craft.
+==== Availability ====
+The Shield Boosting Pods are available only for starfighter use from Origin Industries. They are often sold with new starfighters.
+  * Recommended Retail Prices
+    * Shield Boosting Pods: 4,500 KS each.
