{{Armour Series}}
A '''displacer field''' is a somewhat unreliable defensive device employed by Imperial agents such as [[Inquisitor]]s. The device will [[teleport]] the user out of harm's way if the bearer takes a strong enough hit from a weapon<sup>{{Fn|1a</sup>}}.
Use of the device is risky for several reasons: first, it reacts automatically, and the user cannot control either the teleportation or exactly where he or she teleports to<sup>{{Fn|2b</sup>}}. Furthermore, the user rematerialises moving at the same speed and in the same direction as he or she was when the field activated, which can be equally hazardous<sup>1b</sup>{{Fn|1a}}.
Known users of displacer fields include Inquisitors [[Amberley Vail]]<sup>{{Fn|1a</sup> }} and [[Ernst Stavros Killian]]<sup>{{Fn|2a</sup>}}.
