[[Image:Shield Generator.jpg|thumb|right|170px|Shield Generator{{Fn|4}}]]
[[Tau]] '''Shield Generators''' are used to generate a small forcefield which is useful for defending against attacks that would normally bypass normal armour and affect the wearer directly.{{Fn|1}} They come in various sizes and purposes, including both as [[battlesuit support system]]{{Fn|2}} and as a large building sized shield generator.{{Fn|5}} These shields are strong enough to absorb a small number of [[lascannon]] shots.{{Fn|3}} The field generated by the battlesuit versions encompasses the user completely.{{Fn|2}}
