An experimental energy shield, or Holtzman shield, is a complete body shield made of energy. These shields are impact- and
energy-activated, meaning that they automatically engage when their field is compromised by a kinetic or energetic force of a certain magnitude.
Unlike later module kinetic shields, the Holtsman shield is easily miniaturized and takes up relatively little space on a droid or organic users
body and are usually installed internally to prevent damage to the emitters, but may also be attached to the outside of the body for a slightly smaller cost.
For mechanics see the Holtzman Shield page.
