Intense magnetic field emitters designed to repel spatial debris as the ship passes through space. An isolated and weaker version of the ship's primary shield array, they prevent even the smallest amount of space dust from punching holes in the hull at high impulse speeds and from also literally tearing the ship apart while at warp.

Because of their unique design, a ship's primary deflector can also be configured for discharging large amounts of energy during various rescue and battle scenarios. A group of systems designed to protect the ship via a series of high-powered, networked magnetic-fields.

Primary Shield Grid: A network of intense magnetic field generators designed to form a 'shell' around the ship so strong it can prevent physical, chemical, and energy-based projectiles from touching the ship. Most ships are also outfitted with secondary arrays, tapping into battery backup systems in the event that the power core goes off-line (...which has the odd tendency to happen at the worst times...)

Primary Deflector: Another hi-powered magnetic field emitter primarily designed to repel spatial debris as the ship passes through space. An isolated and weaker version of the ship's primary shield array, their main purpose is to efficiently prevent even the smallest amount of space dust from punching holes in the hull at high impulse speeds, and more to the point - from literally tearing the ship apart while at warp - without having the whole primary shield grid continuously active.

Because of their unique design, a ship's primary deflector can also be configured for discharging large amounts of energy during various rescue and battle scenarios.
