The Type B Defense Screen is a second-generation screen. It is a self contained 1,000-ton unit that generates a screening field that reduces the damage potential of weapons that rely upon sonic vibrations to inflict damage. A screen cannot be "knocked down" and will remain in operation as long as it is receiving power, though ship damage will, of course, affect screen effectiveness. To increase screening power, install more Defense Screens.
