The [[Ur-Didact|Didact's]] ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' possessed powerful energy shields: they were able to withstand Earth's [[Orbital defense platform|super MAC platforms]] with no damage. ''Infinity'''s specialized fore [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC guns]] were able to penetrate them, but only caused minimal hull damage. The Didact also used shields to protect his [[Cryptum]] on [[Requiem]] and the [[Composer]]'s control area on ''Mantle's Approach.'' [[Cortana]] was able to fool the former shield with an override code and overload the latter with her [[Rampancy|rampant]] personalities. | The [[Ur-Didact|Didact's]] ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' possessed powerful energy shields: they were able to withstand Earth's [[Orbital defense platform|super MAC platforms]] with no damage.
