Ciaphas Cain, shortly before shooting rogue Inquisitor Ernst Stavros Killian, to deliberately trigger his displacer field.[2b]
A displacer field is a somewhat unreliable defensive device employed by Imperial agents, such as Inquisitors. The device will teleport the user out of harm's way if the bearer takes a strong enough hit from a weapon[1a].
Use of the device is risky for several reasons: first, it reacts automatically, and the user cannot control if they teleport or where they teleport to (neither direction nor distance)[2b]. Furthermore, the user rematerialises with conserved momentum from when the field activated, which can be equally hazardous[1b]. However, there are no known cases of a displacer field teleporting someone into solid matter.
Known users of displacer fields include Inquisitors Amberley Vail[1a] and Ernst Stavros Killian[2a], as well as Belial[3].
