The shield generator is a structure that can be built on a Covenant Citadel, which provides shield protection for the entire base.[1]
Overview[edit]
The shield technology used by the shield generator is repurposed Forerunner technology and requires vast amounts of power to use. It is powerful enough to withstand a direct hit from the UNSC Spirit of Fire Magnetic Accelerator Cannon. Once the shield is drained, the buildings underneath the shield begin to take structural damage. Over time, the shield will begin to regenerate back up to full strength. If multiple shield generators are built onto one Citadel, the shields become much more durable. The shield generator has no UNSC counterpart.
