Shield projector

Shield projectors are a Tal'darim technology used to shield their Tal'darim motherships.

Overview
"I see their using shield projectors to channel power into a mothership. It's currently in orbit, but it seems likely they'll use it to destroy the Defenders once its fully charged."

- Reigel

During the Defenders of Man Insurgency, the Defenders of Man drew the Tal'darim into the conflict, and the Tal'darim Death Fleet met them at Tyrador IX. After clearing landing zones, they warped in four shield projectors, which they used to channel energy into their mothership. Agent Nova Terra, knowing the Tal'darim would kill the civilians the Defenders were protecting, set out to destroy the shield projectors. She was successful, dropping the mothership's shields and allowing her forces to destroy it.

Game Unit
Shield projectors are the primary objective of the second section of Trouble in Paradise. They are scattered through the map, and defended by moderate protoss defenses, including photon cannons and oracles for detection. The defenses surrounding them can be either brute forced with a force of marines, siege tanks and goliaths, or bypassed using cloaked banshees to take out areas covered by only a single cannon. Alternatively, nukes can create holes in their detection, allowing banshees to slip in and destroy the projectors.
