{{ImperiumPortal}}
A '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a piece of equipment frequently used by the [[Adeptus Arbites]].
The Arbites commonly make use of heavy, [[ceramite]] shields
during operations of all types These are rectangular plates,
worn on one arm, which are typically equipped with a heavily
armoured viewport that offers protection to the operator. The
Synford “Lockshield” is a relatively standard example of the
type, but with one unusual and defining feature.{{Fn|1}}
The lockshield, like most Arbites shields, is designed with
an armourglass viewport and a firing port through which
a basic or pistol weapon can be fired without penalty. It
also contains a powered vox-hailer linked to the [[vox]]-torc
of the most senior Arbitrator present, allowing that officer
to rebuke and remonstrate over even the most deafening
racket. It contains mag-strips on both sides, which enable
prisoners to be secured directly to the shield by [[Magnacle]]s.
Its most unusual feature is its ability to lock solidly with
adjacent lockshields to create an armoured wall behind which
Arbitrators can advance as a unit.{{Fn|1}}
