Portable Anti-FTL Field Device

With the ever increasing scope of power armors and various FTL technologies operating on an ever reducing scale – not to mention the advent of teleporting technology - it was seen by Star Army Intelligence as prudent to develop a system to negate these advantages so they could operate more efficiently in their missions. As such the Anti-FTL Field Projector was developed.

The Interdiction Projector most commonly takes the form of a obsidian black, slightly reflective, cube with rounded corners. The outer-shell is composed of a damage-resistant composite material with an energy resistant glaze. On the top side of the cube there is a touch-sensitive LED panel from which the device can be activated, and the size and properties of the projected field altered – the smallest possible size is five meters cubed, the largest is a kilometer cubed.

The field projected is an ‘Interdiction Field’, more usually found on star-ships – indeed being part of the CFS package used on Yamataian vessels. It functions through creating a reversed CCD field, instead of warping the fabric of strength time it functions it using the exact same mechanism. Within the field projected by the device Faster Than Light (FTL) technology ceases to operate, as does other technology which requires transversing or interacting with other dimensions, or requiring the distortion of space-time. However this field is largely ineffective on effects of sufficient strength, and thus while it is effective against Power Armours it has almost no effect on effects created by star-ship grade technology.

It is powered by its own dictionary sized Aether generator, which provides the energy for its artificial gravity/anti-gravity field generator – which would otherwise be known as an Interdiction Device.
