Covenant shield generator

The Shield Generator is a structure utilized by the Covenant in the upcoming RTS game, Halo Wars and provides shield protection for the whole Citadel.

The shield technology is repurposed Forerunner technology and requires vast amounts of power to use. Once the shield is drained, the buildings underneath the shield begin to take structural damage. Over time though, the shield will begin to regenerate back up to full strength. Expensive, and taking up a build slot, commanders who wish to use the Shield generator must choose between a strong defense, and other options. If they chooses defense, the shield will be an excellent option: it is powerful enough to withstand a direct hit from the UNSC Spirit of Fire's Magnetic Accelerator Cannon.
