Knights Shield

The Knight Shield System is a special System for the Shields built specifically for the Tyr MK 1 Power Armor and the Mining Guild. Created in YE 46, it is used by the Mining Guild’s Security force the Night Guard.

History

In early YE 46, after Lady Nyx Pine, the Gynoid daughter of the late Archduke Jack Pine, the former ruler of the New Dusk Conclave, and Isabelle Pine, had assisted Vilkas Kurosaki, the elder brother of the twin sisters Astrid and Aeta Kurosaki, with acquiring a Power Armor AI for the new Tyr MK1 Power Armor intended for the Night Guard forces, a critical discussion unfolded. These Night Guard forces were responsible for protecting his sisters' company, the Mining Guild.

Recognizing the necessity of enhanced defense mechanisms for the Mining Guild's operations, Nyx Pine arranged a pivotal meeting with Vilkas and his sisters. This meeting aimed to address a significant oversight: the absence of a shield system in the Mining Guild's first military power armor. The inclusion of such a system was essential for the effective deployment and safety of the Mining Guild's assets and personnel, particularly in the hazardous environments where they operated.

During the meeting, Lady Nyx Pine emphasized the importance of integrating a shield system into the Tyr MK1 Power Armor. She detailed the potential threats that the Night Guard might encounter and underscored how a shield system could significantly enhance their defensive capabilities. Nyx's knowledge and expertise in advanced technology and military applications provided a solid foundation for her arguments.

Vilkas initially focused on the AI integration, and began to see the broader picture Nyx was painting. He realized that the success of the Night Guard forces, and by extension the protection of the Mining Guild, depended not only on sophisticated AI but also on robust physical defenses. His sisters, Astrid and Aeta, echoed Nyx's concerns. As leaders of the Mining Guild, they understood the high stakes involved in their mining operations and the necessity of ensuring the safety of their workforce.

Together, they explored various options for the shield system. They considered different technologies, weighing the pros and cons of each in terms of compatibility with the existing power armor design, cost, and effectiveness. The discussion also touched on potential suppliers and the logistics of integrating the new system without significantly delaying the deployment of the Tyr MK1 Power Armor.

Ultimately, the meeting concluded with a consensus on the path forward. The Mining Guild would invest in developing and implementing a state-of-the-art shield system for the Tyr MK1 Power Armor. This decision marked a significant step towards enhancing the defensive capabilities of the Night Guard forces, thereby securing the Mining Guild's operations and protecting its personnel from external threats.

The shield system was named the Knight's Shield, paying homage to the noble knights of fairy tales. This name symbolized how the Tyr MK1 Power Armor would serve as the Mining Guild's protector. The Knight's Shield would safeguard the Mining Guild from threats on a national scale across the universe.

About the Shield System

The Knight's Shield system is based on the principles of the Paladin Barrier Shield system, but it incorporates several innovative modifications to create a unique and enhanced design.

The Paladin Barrier Shield system, known for its robustness and reliability, served as an excellent foundation. However, to meet the specific needs of the Mining Guild's operations and the advanced capabilities of the Tyr MK1 Power Armor, several key enhancements were made.

First, the energy efficiency of the Knight's Shield was significantly improved. The new design employs cutting-edge energy distribution technology, allowing the shield to maintain maximum strength while consuming less power. This innovation ensures that the power armor can operate for extended periods without the need for frequent recharging, which is crucial during prolonged combat situations.

Second, the material composition of the shield was upgraded. By integrating a composite of advanced alloys and energy-absorbing materials, the Knight's Shield offers superior durability and resistance against a wider range of attacks. This includes not only physical impacts but also energy-based weapons, which are becoming increasingly common in interstellar conflicts.

Third, the shield's deployment mechanism was refined. The Knight's Shield can now be activated and deactivated almost instantaneously, thanks to a new rapid-response actuator system. This allows the wearer to dynamically adjust their defense strategy in real-time, providing better adaptability in unpredictable environments.

Fourth, the user interface and control system were overhauled. The new interface is more intuitive, featuring a holographic display that provides real-time data on shield integrity, energy levels, and potential threats. This user-friendly design enables the operator to make quick and informed decisions, enhancing overall combat effectiveness.

Additionally, the Knight's Shield system incorporates a modular design, allowing for easy upgrades and customization. This flexibility ensures that the system can evolve to meet future challenges and integrate new technological advancements without requiring a complete overhaul.

Finally, to ensure seamless integration with the Tyr MK1 Power Armor, extensive testing and calibration were conducted. The result is a shield system that not only complements the armor's existing features but also enhances its overall performance, making the Tyr MK1 a formidable guardian for the Mining Guild.

Appearance

here is how it looks

Shield Hardware Description

The shield hardware of the Tyr MK1 Power Armor is a compact yet sophisticated system housed securely within the armor's torso section, specifically located behind the ammo pack that feeds the Power Armor's weapon systems. The core component is the shield generator, a cylindrical device encased in a reinforced titanium-alloy shell to protect it from external damage. Embedded within the generator are advanced crystalline matrices and quantum capacitors that manage energy distribution and modulation. The generator is connected to a network of conduits that channel energy to emitters strategically placed around the armor, ensuring uniform shield coverage. External Visual Effect of the Shields

When activated, the Knight's Shield envelops the Power Armor in a translucent, shimmering barrier. The shield’s visual effect resembles a faintly glowing aura that fluctuates with hues of blue and violet, indicating the modulation of its frequencies. As the shield adjusts to counter specific threats, subtle ripples and waves of light travel across its surface, reflecting its dynamic nature. When the shield encounters an impact, it flares momentarily at the point of contact with bright flashes of light, indicating the absorption and dispersion of energy or physical force. This luminous display not only signifies the shield's activation but also provides a visual deterrent to potential attackers.

Systems

Here is some extra Info about the shield systems.

Shield Generators

The shield system is housed within the armor, positioned behind the ammo pack that feeds the Power Armor's weapon systems. This placement ensures uniform coverage and redundancy in shield deployment. Additionally, due to the smaller size of the Power Armor compared to a Starship, it utilizes only one shield generator. Like starship shield generators, the Power Armor’s shield generators are the components responsible for generating and sustaining the Knight’s shield. The generator harnesses the Power Armor’s power systems to generate the electromagnetic fields that form the shield barrier.

Energy Management and Recharge Systems

Energy management and recharge systems regulate the power distribution and allocation for shield operations, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency of shield systems during combat engagements. These systems prioritize shield power over other non-essential systems, dynamically adjusting energy flow to reinforce shield barriers and maintain defensive integrity. The systems take every opportunity, to restore shields.

Combat Shield Use

These are done during combat situations.

Emergency Shield Protocols

Emergency shield protocols are activated automatically or manually in response to imminent threats or critical system failures. These protocols maximize shield strength and resilience by diverting additional power to shield generators, reinforcing shield barriers, and implementing evasive maneuvers to minimize exposure to hostile fire.

Shield Modulation and Frequency Tuning

Drawing inspiration from television shows found throughout the universe, the Knight's Shield system incorporates advanced shield modulation and frequency tuning. This technology allows the Power Armor to adjust the properties and characteristics of its shields to counter specific types of threats or weapon systems. By modulating shield frequencies, the Power Armor can adapt its defenses to disrupt energy-based attacks and counteract electronic warfare tactics. This adaptability ensures optimal protection against a wide range of adversaries. Shield frequency tuning also enables the frigate to counteract resonance-based weapons, such as disruptors or harmonic disruptors, by adjusting shield frequencies to negate or minimize their effects.

Anti-phasing systems

Having received information about the new threats particularly phasing technology, the Mining Guild's Thinkers Group took swift action. Members Lady Nyx Pine and Aeta Kurosaki meticulously designed a prototype anti-phasing system. This system aimed to prevent anyone with phasing technology, from phasing through the shields to launch attacks. As part of the prototype, they also attempted to incorporate a corrosive damage effect. However, since they have yet to face a Mishhuvurthyar in combat, its effectiveness remains untested.
