| | The Shield Generator is a structure utilized by the [[Covenant]] in the upcoming RTS game, [[Halo Wars]] and provides shield protection for the whole [[Citadel (Covenant)|Citadel]].<ref>http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Citadel.aspx#ShieldGenerator</ref> |

| == Overview ==
| | The shield technology is repurposed Forerunner technology and requires vast amounts of power to use. Once the shield is drained, the buildings underneath the shield begin to take structural damage. Over time though, the shield will begin to regenerate back up to full strength. Expensive, and taking up a build slot, commanders who wish to use the Shield generator must choose between a strong defense, and other options. If they chooses defense, the shield will be an excellent option: it is powerful enough to withstand a direct hit from the [[UNSC Spirit of Fire]]'s [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. |

Once the shield is drained, the buildings underneath the shield begin to take structural damage. Over time, the shield will begin to regenerate back up to full strength. If multiple shield generators are built onto one Citadel, the shields become much more durable. The shield generator has no [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] counterpart. | |

| In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the Shield Generator costs {{HWTech|1}} and {{HWResources|200}} to be built. It is recommended to build the shield generator towards the rear of the base, in order to protect it from enemy fire once the shields are down. There is a glitch where after a Shield generator is made, all structures in the base that have already been made lose life points.
