The JK plasma shield is a plasma shield that can withstand a total of 500 gees of force or the equivelant to 700 rounds or 300 plamsa shots before failure; doesnt protect against rockets, gernades, or magical weaponry: used for standard escape and evasion missons primarily used for shield cover to travel from one building to the next.
