OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
* Intent: A multipurpose system for the Republic such as shields and propulsion systems
* Image Source: Link
* Canon Link: n/a

SPECIAL FEATURES
-Most shields are designed to absorb or tank attacks, the Reflection shields are designed to turn attacks into counter attacks. The Reflector Engines can serve multiple purposes. They generate energy fields that push against anything they with a violent force, this allows them to actually tear into whatever they make contact with and throw it back from which it came (or at an angle if it was hit at an angle). This shield system is particularly useful against material objects, torpedos, slugs, and even ships. However it does have some ability to screw with energy based attacks, especially ones of explosion or plasma design, but tends to fail to stop lasers unless it releases the explosive particles. This violent force can be used defensively as shields that can tear into opponents and throw away attacks, offensively for ramming and attacking other material enemies, or even to propel something so long as there is matter to push against.
-Explosive particulate: The Reflector engines can be connected to a container of gasses, fuel, or certain types of explosives that can generate small drops which it essnetially spreads in line with the shields. This allows it to halt more energy based attacks as they can make impact with the particulate instead of being able to pass through, helping the shield to hold them off. However they are especially useful in taking down enemies, as the explosive force is now considerably increased with the addition of the burn.
-The containers can be replaced with fine dust or various liquids instead of explosives, in order to cheapen the price of increasing its defensive value, but also to allow it to be used as a better propulsion system
Strengths:
-Very good against material objects, destroying and bouncing off what it touches making projectiles extremely difficult to use against it.
-Somewhat good at defending against most energy based attacks, using particulate makes this better.
-Low resistance to lasers, but still some.
-Multi-purposed: Can be used offensively or defensively, and can be used as a propulsion system.
Weaknesses:
-Cannot allow allies to pass, the Reflector shielding is always pushing away from the generator, and so unless the ship can leave the shield EXTREMELY quickly, such as very high speed fighters, it cannot escape without considerable damage. But even at high speeds it will still cause some.
-Low resistance to laser weaponry
-Low resistance to heat weaponry
DESCRIPTION
During the creation of the War Pod, and attempts to make it more deadly, the idea of material shielding came up. This resulted in the creation of a multipurpose generator engine that creates an energy shield that slams outwards against whatever touches it, creating an excellent defense against all forms of material attacks as even if it can’t shred what it’s touching, as perhaps it was too quick or durable, it will still be able to throw that object away from it, thus still protecting what was behind. However this design as it turned out had additional purposes to it, and was discovered to be able to be used not just as a type of shielding for ships or troops that can be both offensive and defensive, but as a type of propulsion, as if used correctly it could push against matter and push the ship as it did so much like a fuel engine, but usually in much higher initial bursts of speed.
