Range: The PDD is designed to surround a planet and to protect it, but unlike the PDS its position in this is highly flexible, and it is made to be able to move not only around the planets orbit, but possibly even to another planet or the battlefield. | Range: The PDD is designed to surround a planet and to protect it, but unlike the PDS its position in this is highly flexible, and it is made to be able to move not only around the planets orbit, but possibly even to another planet or the battlefield. | ||

- | **Shield Systems: The PDD uses a elliptical dimensional distortion (EDD) shield, which folds space using electrogravitic fields, wrapping the said space around the drone, encasing it in its own bubble. Once in this bubble objects are sheltered from both solid matter weaponry, less solid matter weaponry (such as plasma or a particle weapon), as well as energy weapons (such as a beam weapon), because they simply pass through the curved space around the ship, in effect the drone is not there to hit. The EED extends in to subspace and hyperspace, and provides the same protection their as in normal space. The PDD’s EED can protect against up to 500 Zettawatts worth of damage every square metre. | + | Shield Systems: The PDD uses a elliptical dimensional distortion (EDD) shield, which folds space using electrogravitic fields, wrapping the said space around the drone, encasing it in its own bubble.

- | **Interdiction Field: One of the most important features on the PDD is the Interdiction Field, meant to defend both itself and the surrounding area from a wide variety of superweapons or other offensive effects. The interdiction field, which extends in a disk one kilometre wide by 500m deep, and the interdiction field generator takes up a very large part of the drone, prevents hyperspace, subspace, normal space or any of the plethora of other dimensions from being warped or manipulated in any fashion. This prevents Transposition beams from working, given that they warp space, and also protects against any other weapon that uses dimensions to function, such as those that travel through hyper-space, | + | Interdiction Field: One of the most important features on the PDD is the Interdiction Field, meant to defend both itself and the surrounding area from a wide variety of superweapons or other offensive effects.

- | **Damper Field Generator: Through the use of a powerful anti-gravity effect around the ship, the PDD negates the force of gravity actually turning a Scalar EM wave back on itself, and completely protecting the ship and the surrounding area for a kilometre in every direction. The field is designed to cope with even the most powerful scalar weapons. The Field is on as a default, and has the added advantage of allowing the craft to float above water or the ground by repelling the ground with anti-gravity. The power is also sufficient to somewhat reduce the power of solid based weapons that are fired at the PDD. | + | Damper Field Generator: Through the use of a powerful anti-gravity effect around the ship, the PDD negates the force of gravity actually turning a Scalar EM wave back on itself, and completely protecting the ship and the surrounding area for a kilometre in every direction.

* Long-range gravimetric sensors: These powerful sensors sense the presence of ships and other objects through the warping effect their mass has on space-time. While this sensor is not particularly good at getting exact information about the ship, it is extremely good at working out where something is, and the speed it’s moving at. It also beyond many types of cloaking device to foil this indirect form of scanning. | * Long-range gravimetric sensors: These powerful sensors sense the presence of ships and other objects through the warping effect their mass has on space-time.
