Holtzman Shield Mk5

An Old Imperial personal shielding device that can be manually toggled on and off to deflect incoming darts and blades at the cost of power from a Power Pack. However, the slow blade penetrates the shield and melee combatants will take advantage of this. The shield also prevents objects from exiting, thus it will automatically deactivate when firing darts or throwing objects. It will then automatically reactivate according to its refresh time. While active, the shield generates sounds and vibrations that drive sandworms mad. Usage on open sands is not recommended.
