shield generator

Defensive field emitter

A shield generator is a device in science fiction that projects a protective energy barrier around a ship, building, or area.

The concept appears across franchises from *Star Wars* to video games, where disabling the shield generator becomes a common tactical objective: We have to take out the shield generator before the fighters can get through.
