Screen Generator

Screens are electromagnetic field generators used to disrupt and dissipate incoming main battery fire. Active screens reduce the damage scored by each die rolled.

Table: Defensive Screen Effects

Result	Level-1 Screens	Level-2 Screens
1-4 rolled	No effect	No effect
5 rolled	One damage point	One damage point
6 rolled	Two damage points	One damage point

One defensive screen system generates a Level-1 screen. Two systems on the same ship generate a Level-2 screen. Any additional systems beyond two act as redundant generators, but protection cannot be increased beyond Level-2.

Defensive screens have no effect against incoming railgun, submunitions, or torpedo fire.
