This page currently redirects to deflector shield, but there are clearly standard shields used in ground combat that do appear in stories on occasion. So, what should ground combat shield article be named? I'd think put normal shields on this page with shield (disambiguation) to redirect people to other references, but I don't know how many internal links and such that will mess up, what do you guys think?--Long Live the United Earth 19:18, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

We'll probably be ok making this the shield article -- as long as "shields!" redirects to deflector shield (as the commonly used command most significant to Star Trek)... - Captain MKB 19:36, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, thanks Mike!--Long Live the United Earth 20:07, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
