A '''shield generator''' is a [[Ship components|component]] which generates a protective energy barrier around a [[ships|ship]] in [[Star Citizen]]. Shields deflect projectiles, explosions, debris, and sometimes air.<ref name=":0" /> When impacted with energy (such as an [[Ship weapons#Energy weapons|energy weapon]]), the shield absorbs the incoming energy, weakening the shield in the process but protecting the ship.<ref name=":0">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/14489-Design-Notes-Shields-Management|text=Design Notes: Shields & Management|accessdate=2023-10-18}}</ref> Only when the shields are downed will the incoming energy inflict damage upon the ship's hull. When impacted with a ballistic projectile, the projectile is merely slowed down by the shield, effectively bypassing it.<ref name=":0" /> Shield generators come in multiple sizes, and have varying levels of segmentation (single 'bubble', front/back, quadrant, etc.).<ref name=":0" />
