Shield

I.D.A.: "Many clusters in Alpha One are dangerous to travel to. Asteroids can penetrate our ship's hull, stars emit radiation or hostile lifeforms may beam on board. Setting up shielding modules can protect us from these hazards. Always study the galaxy map for information about cluster hazards before traveling." Shields are needed to travel to hazardous clusters. The more shields, the better the protection.

Shilds protect against environmental hazards like solar storms or asteroids, and against raids from rogue commanders.

Assigning an engineer increases recharge rate.
