From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
| This article is about the Imperial technology; for the T'au technology, see 'Eclipse' Shield Generator. |
The Eclipse Shield is a type of Force Field mounted on the Orion Gunship.[1]
A prototype variant of the Flare Shield based on Selenite technology, not only is the Eclipse shield capable of retarding kinetic force and directed energy streams, but it also absorbs photons. Thus, when activated by heavy incoming fire, the shield appears as a midnight black energy field, completely obscuring the Orion.[1]
