A buckle worn on the back of the left hand - on command it extends an oblong force field large enough for the wielder to take cover behind. Unlike other light weapons, this one is designed to be non-lethal, so that users can form a shield wall with no fear of cutting one another up. Unlike other shields, this one can't be easily sundered.
This weapon is the product of a mature hyperspace culture that nevertheless still deals in melee weapons, and as such is rather unusual. In most campaigns, this would cost an Items schtick.
Block
