Build:Metaphasic Shields

9.15 Multiphasic Shields

Cost: same as per normal shields

Available: 2369

Developed in 2369 by a Ferengi scientist, Dr. Reyga, the metaphasic shield generates overlapping low-level subspace fields. This causes anything within those fields to partially enter subspace, which provides a high level of protection against phenomena in normal space.

Metaphasic shields have the same SU cost as normal shields. However, their Protection and Threshold are triple that of a normal deflector shield. Among other things, this allows a ship with a metaphasic shield to safely enter and spend time in the coronae of stars. (For obvious reasons, metaphasic shields can significantly unbalance a Star Trek roleplaying game series; Narrators should be very, very cautious about allowing players to have metaphasic shields for their ships.)
