Force field/Legends

A force field, sometimes energy field, seemed to be a very broad, general term for any type of field, most commonly artificial, in which matter or energy was manipulated through some type of force.

Artificial force fields tended to be 'projected' from a single device, and thus normally had a certain radius over which their effect gradually weakened to the negligible. Energy from most force fields could usually also be concentrated into a plane, a 'skin' around an object, a beam, or even a single point, though this often required more advanced technology. Force fields could be disrupted through outside interference occasionally, such as with the use of a power gem.

Some types of force fields were:


 * Deflector shields, artificial fields designed to block matter or energy
 * Particle shields, shields designed to block matter
 * Ray shields, shields designed to block energy
 * Electromagnetic fields, artificial or natural fields of electromagnetism
 * Magnetic seal, a type of electromagnetic field designed to deflect energy and matter
 * Electromagnetic pulses, artificial fields that disrupted circuitry
 * Fence-field
 * Pressor field
 * Relativistic shields, artificial forces that prevented time distortion
 * Shock fields, electrical fields used for security purposes
 * Tractor beams, artificial fields that drew matter inward
