Travellers Needed! High Guard Updates

Slight correction: he puts a personal energy shield (in many ways an even more mad device) in play in Sylean Dream. It's Hanrahan who puts an energy shield on a ship in an adventure, and at least then it's Ancients so any cray-cray shit flies with that.

The one-off from Chris is ion-cannons: again, it is in the Glorious Empire book and is the only place those appear in all of the books I have (which is a shamefullly large number). He does love the novel, non-charted-space stuff.

Edit: this is not some pious objection on my part: I have used both.

Got it.
I wrote an adventure with a TL-17 personal field generator as an implanted augmentation on a time-shifted NPC.
Closest things we used to a ship-sized energy shield was a hullscale electrostatic armour (derived from the Vehicle Handbook) and a screen that uses gravitics to hold a special brand of sand in place around the spacecraft

I admit that I have the odd ship shield around. It makes fights last longer; it stops fights ending with a single beam laser shot from a cloaked ship; and (most importantly) it gives another combat role for the slightly-too-large Monday night table.
