While a long time ago the only way to use plasma was through weaponry, it is now used to energize magnificent warships, power different electronic interfaces, and even as a defensive measure. Indeed, the use of plasma shields and barriers can greatly affect the course of any battle. Conventional plasma shields, like those utilized by soldiers and independents, are produced by drawing out energy from the plasma core in either the user's own body suit or shell or a special Mod inserted into a user's system. It extends a sphere of plasma that varies in color. This sphere extends in all directions 3 feet in radius. The shields are given ranks, depending on how much firepower they can stop. Unlike the people they protect, plasma shields do not have durability; theoretically, they could last forever. They are disbanded after they take a hit that is equal to or more than their rank in force. For example, a Rank 2 plasma shield would disappear if it was struck by a Rank 2 or more weapon. Inversely, some soldiers and independents utilize plasma barriers. These have many of the same properties of a plasma shield, except that they need some sort of outlining, such as a metal frame, in order to be utilized. This outlining serves as the shape the barrier will take; if an outlining were to be a small rectangle, the corresponding barrier would be inside this frame, like a plate or wall. These plasma barriers do have durability problems, and, if struck enough times, will dissipate. However, they can sometimes be more reliable than plasma shields, as often, barriers can take stronger hits and still remain active.
