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{{Fn|1a}}.
Use of the device is risky for several reasons: first, it reacts automatically, and the user cannot control either the teleportation if they teleport or exactly where he or she teleports they teleport to(neither direction nor distance){{Fn|2b}}. Furthermore, the user rematerialises moving at the same speed and in the same direction as he or she was with conserved momentum from when the field activated, which can be equally hazardous{{Fn|1b}}. However, there are no known cases of a displacer field teleporting someone into solid matter.
Known users of displacer fields include Inquisitors [[Amberley Vail]]{{Fn|1a}}, and [[Ernst Stavros Killian]]{{Fn|2a}}, and as well as [[Belial]]{{Fn|3}}.
