====Level I====
  * [[class I deflector]]
    * The basic entry in Earth Industries' series of popular shield generators.
  * [[cyclotron S10 deflector]]
    * NAMI's Cyclotron deflectors absorb a lot of damage, but take more time to regenerate.
  * [[laser deflector]]
    * Better than a class I at deflecting laser energy; worse at deflecting anything else.

====Level II====
  * [[class II deflector]]
    * While not powerful enough to protect against military-grade weapons, the class II deflector provides added defense for freelancers and independent merchantships.
  * [[hull plate ionizer]]
    * This device ionizes a ship's hull, repelling kinetic and blast damage. The ionization field weakens as the ship's armor is damaged.

====Level III====
  * [[monopole deflector screen]]
    * A quantum magnetic field strongly deflects damage from kinetic and blast weapons. It is less effective against laser and particle beam attacks.
  * [[Solon shield generator]]
    * Developed by the innovative Solon Industries, this shield generator absorbs almost all laser energy. A ship equipped with these shields cannot fire any laser weapons.
  * [[cyclotron S55 deflector]]
    * Stronger than a class III deflector using less than half the power.

====Level IV====
  * [[class III deflector]]
    * The class III deflector is an integrated system that protects a ship against most forms of damage.
  * [[R1 deflector]]
    * The R1 deflector was developed a few decades ago to protect Fleet ships against the powerful lightning cannons of the Ares Orthodoxy.
  * [[Ceratops 1T quasi-armor]]
    * This quasi-matter generator protects a starship against blast energy.
  * [[cyclotron S1200 deflector]]
    * The most powerful shield generator in NAMI's Cyclotron series.

====Level V====
  * [[Yoroi S100 shield generator]]
    * The shield generators sold by Kabuto Defense are among the most powerful and advanced. The Yoroi line of shields ranges from this inexpensive commercial model to more powerful military versions
  * [[Nephren P25 shield generator]]
    * Each model of the Nephren series is tuned for a different kind of damage. The P25 is designed to defend against particle and ion damage.
  * [[class V deflector]]
    * High manufacturing costs and poor sales doomed it in the market, but many prefer this vintage deflector over modern imitators.
  * [[superconducting shield generator]]
    * This generator uses an array of superconducting coils. Individual coils must be replaced to restore the field after damage is taken.

====Level VI====
  * [[Luminous particle shield]]
    * The Luminous AI has developed these shield generators for its drones. They are designed to be resistant to particle-beam energy.
  * [[Luminous thermo shield]]
    * The Luminous AI has developed these shield generators for its drones. They are designed to be resistant to thermonuclear energy.
  * [[Luminous blast shield]]
    * The Luminous AI has developed these shield generators for its drones. They are designed to be resistant to blast energy.
  * [[Luminous ion shield]]
    * The Luminous AI has developed these shield generators for its drones. They are designed to be resistant to ion energy.
  * [[Cydonian shield generator]]
    * The Ares Cydonian shield generator is a slightly inferior clone of the YoroiS500.
  * [[Mammoth 25MW deflector]]
    * Mammoth deflector shields can absorb immense amounts of damage, but their regeneration rate is lower than competitors.
  * [[Yoroi S500 shield generator]]
    * The Yoroi S500 is the most powerful shield generator available for non-military customers of the Kabuto Defense corporation.
  * [[Invincible-class deflector]]
    * The Invincible-class deflector is extremely powerful. Its one flaw is that it disables all other ship systems when it collapses.
  * [[R5 deflector]]
    * This is an updated version of the R1 deflector, designed to resist the Ares Orthodoxy's lightning cannons.
  * [[Ceratops 5T quasi-armor]]
    * This is a larger and more powerful version of the quasi-matter deflector.
  * [[mark I Omsk deflector]]
    * When used in concert with Omsk armor segments, this deflector increases in strength up to 200 hit points.

====Level VII====
  * [[Dragon shield generator]]
    * Used by the Sung Dragon slavers, these shields are a much enhanced version of the Yoroi S500.
  * [[Trenton field generator]]
    * A Trenton field generator degrades the intensity of any form of energy. Unlike other shield generators, however, some energy inevitably leaks through.
  * [[Cydonian heavy shield generator]]
    * This is a more powerful version of the Cydonian shield generator.
  * [[Mammoth 50MW deflector]]
    * The 50MW Mammoth deflector is designed for military ships. Like other Mammoth designs, it has high hit points and a low regeneration rate.
  * [[Nephren B700 shield generator]]
    * Each model of the Nephren series is tuned for a different kind of damage. The B700 is designed to defend against blast and thermonuclear damage.
  * [[Yoroi MX shield generator]]
    * This is the military version of the S500 shield generator created by the Kabuto Defense corporation.
  * [[R5-B Deflector]]
    * Commonwealth Fleet labs created this variant of the R5 for its new Britannia-class gunships.

====Level VIII====
  * [[R9 deflector]]
    * The most powerful version of the R-series deflectors is used on Commonwealth Fleet capital ships.
  * [[plasma shield generator]]
    * Plasma shield generators are used on most military ships. Plasma shield generators cannot be used on civilian ships without a special military ID.
  * [[ion reflector]]
    * This shield generator reflects all ion energy.
  * [[Taikon-10 deflector]]
    * The Taikon-10 deflector is optimized to defend against thermonuclear attacks.
  * [[Mammoth 100MW deflector]]
    * This is the most powerful deflector in the Mammoth series.
  * [[mark II Omsk deflector]]
    * When used in concert with Omsk armor segments, this deflector increases in strength up to 400 hit points.

====Level IX====
  * [[Iocrym veil]]
    * This byzantine alien device generates a particle shield that absorbs most energy weapons.
  * [[Nephren X1 shield generator]]
    * The Nephren X1 is an experimental model that defends against ion and positron damage.
  * [[Jotun deflector]]
    * This alien shield generator has controls to adjust its strength.
  * [[Kaidun shield generator]]
    * The most advanced shield generator in the Ares Orthodoxy, the Kaidun generator is used by the Ares dreadnought.

====Level X====
  * [[Lazarus shield generator]]
    * The Lazarus is an experimental shield generator. It has a phenomenal generation rate, but it consumes almost prohibitive amounts of power.
  * [[Taikon-200 deflector]]
    * The Taikon-200 deflector is optimized to defend against thermonuclear attacks.

====Level XIII====
  * [[Iocrym cocoon]]
    * This alien device is designed to defend the giant commandships of the Iocrym.
