Combat Barriers are placed around strategic | Combat Barriers are placed and situated all around strategic locales as defensive mechanisms against enemy [[weapons]] flanking fire. Several types of barriers exist, but all are made of thick battle plating presumably made of titanium or titanium-ceramic [[armor]]. | ||
