The Shield of Voxphine is a hard light shield developed by Origin Industries with input from Destiny Tur'Lista in order protect both herself and her allies on the battlefield. Inspired by the story of the first great exodus, the Shield was named after the Lorath who ascended to godhood in the eyes of her people as she defended their flight underground - and is meant to be the same kind of protective barrier for the people Destiny calls family. It is housed in a bracer on her M5 Knight's left forearm and has the image of a kite shield emblazoned on its front.

Destiny Tur'Lista worked closely with Origin Industries in order to develop a shield that would attach to her mecha's forearm, give her better protection against incoming fire, and create a large barrier to protect those around her that needed it.

The Shield of Voxphine's appearance is that of a bracer attached to the left forearm of Destiny Tur'Lista's M5 Knight. It has a thick and sturdy construction; when deployed, four small pylons deploy from the top, bottom, left, and right of the bracer to guide the barrier up and out. The top and bottom pylons are smaller than the ones on the left and the right; lastly, an image of a kite shield adorns the front of the bracer.

• Muzzle Flash: When deployed, a flash of pale blue light appears and expands into a one-way hard light barrier shield that measures 11 meters by 19 meters in size.
• Retort: A noticeable “bwink” can be heard as the shield system deploys; if the shield's defensive capabilities are surpassed, it emits a sound similar to that of glass breaking.
• Deployment/Dissipation Speed: It takes 1.5 seconds to deploy the shield ahead of the mech and 0.5 seconds to dissipate it.
• Defensive Capabilities: Tier 9, Heavy Mecha

General descriptions about how the Shield of Voxphine functions.

• Firing Mechanism: The Shield of Voxphine is triggered electronically, as an impulse from the mech pilot’s brain is sent through the M5 Knight's system and translated into orders for the mecha to redirect its shield capabilities into a wall in front of itself.
• Firing Modes: The Shield of Voxphine has two modes: on and off.

General descriptions about the Shield of Voxphine's design.

• Power Source: The Shield is powered by the Knight's internal power systems.
• Construction: The Shield of Voxphine is a series of shield generators - designed to fit on the forearm of a M5 Knight mecha - that when activated draw upon the Knight's power supply and redirect its conformal barrier into a hard light shield that the faces whatever direction the forearm bracer is facing.
