LS-SERIES ENERGY SHIELDS
Produced by XIZOR RESOLUTIONS; Republic-based location, but available to anyone with the credits.
Ownership:
Shevla Fett (character in-progress)|Stock 14,600 credits. Liquid Diatium cells run 150.
Intent:
To introduce Personal Energy Shields to this timeline while maintaining the weaker technological level of this millenia; to anyone who desires protection from energy bolts, for a limited time, without necessarily resorting to physical armor.
Model/Name:
Lumnar LS-Series; ranges between LS-5, 10, and 15
Type:
Energy shield, portable
Power Supply:
Uses a rechargeable power cell capable of emitting an energy field for 15-45 seconds before overloading, thus requiring a recharge time of approximately 10 minutes and is capable of ~10 activations before needing replacement (this is without factoring in blaster absorption); but it depends on the series variant. Once shield is activated, the shield cannot be deactivated until it overloads.
Size:
Activator is a rectangular belt buckle (8.89 x 8.5cm) wired to the power cell housed in an external cylinder typically attached to back of a belt (16.5 x 8.56cm). The standard shield radius is 1.5m but can be modified to the individual's height, though not capable of exceeding a 4m diameter.
General Representation, factually precise metrics above
Composition:
Buckle itself is comprised of electrum metal with bronzium wiring - both materials are for enhanced circuitry but not for protection against blasters or really hard stones - connected to the semi-stable power cell, liquid diatium, which has a covering made from zal alloy.
Description:
The Lumnar LS-Series energy shields - dubbed "light shields" by consumers - were initially created by XIZOR RESOLUTIONS' starship designers who were seeking to make a scaled model replica of their TBA luxury dreadnought when a team member named Lumnar, on a drunken dare, threw together a scrap shield emitter and hooked it to a container of liquid diatium. Thus resulted in a compressed energy field surrounding the model dreadnought for a few seconds before combusting and turning the model into several small, scorched, and broken model pieces. The starship team was reprimanded by their superiors then given a raise when the industry's president, Raith Xizor, heard of the temporary results. The project was then handed off to XR's RnD Applied Technologies division for safer development. Thereafter was created a portable shield tech initially only for personnel and the Republic's infantry soldiers but was later made available to a wider consumer range.
The LS-Series shields have varying power levels - lessening battery recharge rates, increasing longevity, etc. - but are presently capped at a 60 sec shield, 5 min recharge, and 20 uses (per power cell), respectively. Damage threshold has made minute advancements and has remained largely uniform throughout each LS variant (up to 6 normal plasma bolts, or 1 heavy plasma bolt). Field tests against lightsabers have indicated the extreme inability to deflect blows, but upon striking the shield with a lightsaber the energy field 'shattered' and the energy burst provided a temporary recoil against the Jedi. The Field Testers suffered minor plasma burns on his exposed extremities but was otherwise unharmed from the burst.

MODEL VARIATIONS
(length - recharge - uses)
LS-5: 15sec, 5min, 20
LS-10: 35sec, 10min, 10
LS-15: 60sec, 15min, 5
(length - recharge - uses)
LS-5: 15sec, 5min, 20
LS-10: 35sec, 10min, 10
LS-15: 60sec, 15min, 5
DISCLAIMER: Recent warning documents have been made standard with all LS-Series purchases to emphasize these are temporary shields for "energy attacks" and not physical projectiles, environmental hazards, constant energy absorption, or overly-friendly gizka.

So this is my first tech profile. Not saying go easy on me, but I certainly wouldn't mind pointers - like how to align narrower, block text...
