A Banished shield generator deployed at a Banished outpost on Halo Wars 2 multiplayer map Bedrock.
A Shield Generator on Installation 00.

The shield generator is a structure employed by the Banished for the purposes of protecting their Banished outposts.[1][2]

Overview[edit]

The shield generator provides a domed heavy energy shield that covers the outpost and protects it from damage. Shield generators are typically created using reverse-engineered Forerunner technology,[2] with the Banished combing the black markets of Venezia and other colonies for ancient secrets.[1] Its deployment typically depends on the resources at hand and the external threat posed to the local Banished forces.[2] The shield generator shares the same housing as the cloaking generator.[3]

Gameplay[edit]

Heavy energy shield.

The Shield Generator creates a heavy dissipative energy shield around the Outpost. Though expensive, the shield will automatically regenerate over time if it is damaged. Each Shield Generator occupies a Turret slot.

The shield generator systems used by the Banished are far more powerful than their crude appearance would suggest, for they are based on Forerunner technologies that had been locked behind walls of tradition and taboo in the Covenant's distant past. The Banished reject the idea of taboo and have been busy combing the black markets of Venezia and other outlaw rimworlds looking for further secrets of the ancients that can be exploited in the modern era.
