As its namesake suggests, defense outpost Shield is one of two stations commissioned by the Shadow Imperium to serve as a lookout for incoming forces; friendly, hostile, and neutral. Shield is fully operational with the aid of a single Star Destroyer to protect this vulnerable position in the vacinity of Imperium space.

While most occurrances have happened to be pirate raids and smuggling runs and the like, the Imperium refuses to take any chances, and would usually engage any unauthorized entry of space and either capture or destroy the intruders of this quadrant.
