After CUS Scout ships found several crippled warships, some with survivors, but most with piles of corpses with strange burns and boils. However, we found one ship that was completely intact, her name was "Dawn's Light" the name suggests that it was from the Commonwealth of Free Stars. Vesuvius Class to be exact. She was clean, no dust, no people, no signs of a firefight that would have forced the crew to abandon ship, only scattered belongings. We towed it back to the shipyards and many surprises, first of all, the generator was too powerful for a ship of it's size, the weapons were relatively low yield, so we assumed it was the shield generator that hogged most of the energy, we activated it and suddenly, the ship was encased in a bubble of energy!
We soon reversed engineered the shield and reactor systems, currently we are designing a bubble shield system for the Wellington.
PS: Our scientists overestimated the power consumption of the 'bubble' shield generators, and we used the extra power to run our new EREY (Extended Range and Extended Yield) (E-ray) Weapons Systems, most of which have the same reload tims as conventional energy weapons.
Note: Ships of the Hood Class are scheduled to be refitted with 'Bubble' shield generators.
