Technology Summary
Research Cost = 500

This technology will allow us to equip our ships with energy-based defenses. This will improve their defense ability.

Description

While a attending a retro-theme party based on television shows from the 20th century, Dr. Brakham Nordstrom was struck by the idea that deflector technology could be extended to block different types of energy more effectively. With inverted tachyon pulses used in a steady stream, virtually all the output of energy weapons could be blocked, if only for a short period of time. This observation led to the formation of his company, General Dynometrics, which won the majority of the next set of planetary defense contracts. Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt before any subsequent research could be completed.
