Long Description	Simply put, shields are pretty neat. They aren't terribly good in terms of saving space. But they do protect against damage quite well, particularly from beam weapons. The Mark III shield unit uses substantially less space on a ship than previous generations, thus allowing for more important items to be placed on board.
