Shields
Shields are vital for survival in space. They protect the ship from small impacting objects like
mini asteroids as well as during fights. Their one weakness is that they do not inhibit electrical
current. Their inability to inhibit current makes them susceptible to ion disruptors. Shields are
an energy field, and MJ are the units for quantifying their performance. Shields project field
strength of X MJ - they don't "absorb" X MJ of energy.
They are available in 1 MJ Shield, typically used by Small fighters and scout ships. Some
fighters, transporters and passenger ships use 5 MJ Shields and these ships are sometimes
alternatively equipped with much more powerful 25 MJ or 125MJ. 1 GJ Shields, (1 GJ =
1000MJ)
are
used by destroyers, battleships, carriers and heavy Transporter ships. The 10
GJ Shield is the most powerful protection known. Typically they are used onboard large
installations

SQUASH Mine
A very destructive mine. Typically used to protect important strategic locations. Beware: This
mine does not have friend foe recognition!
TRACKER
The TRACKER mine is developed for short-range blockades. Once triggered it fly’s towards
its victim. The only way to survive a TRACKER mine is to outrun the mine long enough to
trigger its self-destruction.
“Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so” - Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)
WARES & COMMODITIES
Argnu beef
Argnu originally roamed wild over the lower foothills of the Argon mountain ranges. Argnu
meat, when processed for off planet export is sold in half tonne pressed blocks known as
Cahoona meatsteaks.
Artefacts
Relics of ancient civilisations can be found all over the universe. These artefacts vary in size
and shape, but most were built with sophisticated advanced technology. The origins of these
artefacts are still unclear and Argon and Boron archaeologists are working to decipher their
purpose.
Artificial Fertilizer
In recent Jazuras the Argon Agriculture Council has decided that it is unsafe to use Fertilizer
from the Argnu Cattle. This artificial fertiliser created by the AAC contains all the essential
elements that plants need for growth, but eliminates the ones that are harmful to other life
forms.
Biological Micro Organisms
These micro-organisms are used by the Boron to create new and advanced pharmaceuticals.
Using their advanced genetic techniques, the Boron have discovered many cures to
previously incurable diseases. The Boron Medical Council now controls the regulation of
