A Praesidium Protectiva is a shield constructed from layers of armaplas and ceramite, and said to contain a shard of the Emperor's own armour. As such it is highly effective against physical attacks, offering protection equal to a that of a Power Armour. They are only found among the Adepta Sororitas, and even then are only issued to those Sisters who excel (and prefer to engage in) hand-to-hand combat. However some have found their way into the hands of Witch Hunters.[1][2]
It is however quite large and heavy, to the point that it is considered inadvisable to carry one without wearing a power armour.[2]
