Citadel Shield

The Citadel Shield is a global war asset available to outfits. It is crafted using, with a crafting time of 15 minutes. It can be called down on any continent, including Desolation.

Calling down a Citadel Shield summons a generator from orbit that stations itself 75 meters above the ground, with the generator's location displayed on the map. Once it reaches its final destination, it deploys a large bubble shield below itself, with a diameter of 150 meters. (75 meter radius)

The shield does not prevent the passage of any forces, whether allied or hostile to the generator's faction. The shield is two-way for weapons fire, and thus projectiles can neither pass out of the shield from the inside, or into the shield from the outside.

The shield projected by the generator is fully invulnerable, and cannot be damaged. The generator itself, however, is vulnerable to any anti-vehicle ordnance and can be destroyed, bringing down the shield.

Citadel shields cannot be called down within 300 meters of another citadel shield, regardless of faction.
