The Refractor’s iconic reflective shield is a marvel of engineering. It is constructed with several layers of material, each serving a different defensive application. The outermost layer is a crystal-lattice sustained by an electromagnetic field. Solid weapons may pass through the crystal layer, which is then immediately reconstructed by the energy field, as though a pebble had just passed through water. This allows the reflective portion of the shield to remain effective even after repeated projectile impacts. Next is a honey-comb alloy heavy armor built to resist kinetic force and heat-based weaponry. Most conventional weapons simply bounce off this ultra-hard layer of armor. The final layer in the shield plate is an 18-inch thick metal composite which absorbs any remaining incoming fire. This layer is extremely heavy, so the Refractor is built upon a Mammoth chassis to support the weight.
