Gyro Destabilizer (System)
The Gyro Destabilizer is a remote spinoff of the same technology that
makes the Inertial Stabilizer possible. This system creates a hyperspatial
rift that interacts with the target ship’s own, idling hyperspace field
generator. A region of inertial chaos is the result. As the chaotic region
seeks equilibrium, the ship inside it is spun like a dervish. This
uncontrolled twirl causes 3–7 points of structural damage multiplied by
the size class of the ship. Shields and armor are no protection and are not
damaged. The destabilizer has a range of 15 squares.

Class III Shield (Ship)
Class III shields absorb up to 15 times the ship’s size in damage before
failing. They regenerate as normal.
Planetary Radiation Shield (Building)
The Planetary Radiation Shield reduces solar and cosmic bombardment to
tolerable limits, so that life forms can comfortably move about the
planet’s surface. Radiated worlds become Barren as long as the shield
remains in place. The shield also provides a colony with some defense
from orbital bombardment, reducing bombardment damage by 5 points.
A Planetary Radiation Shield costs 1 BC in maintenance each turn.
Warp Dissipater (System)
The Warp Dissipater creates a system-wide interference field around a
ship in combat. This field prevents any enemy ship from entering
hyperspace while it’s active. Thus, ships cannot retreat from combat while
the dissipater is functioning.

Stealth Field (System)
The Stealth Field reduces the emissions of hyperspace drives and baffles
much of the turbulence they cause in normal space. These ships cannot be
discovered by normal sensing equipment; they are completely invisible on
the Galaxy Map.
Personal Shield (Equipment)
Personal Shields deflect both physical and energy attacks. They offer
protection against most ground troop attacks, increasing the combat
rating of Marines and armor by 20.
Stealth Suit (Achievement)
The Stealth Suit allows its wearer to blend easily into any background,
rendering that person virtually invisible. The suit adds 10 all your spy rolls.
