Im sure your familiar with occam's razor, the simplier, therefore more proveable solution is that it doesnt say anything about a EM shielding element, therefore there are none.

Again, it says nothing about it, so assuming it might appears merely to me to be a hope of yours that you might stop my weapon from operating. Therefore I submit to you that this is the best way with which to prevent the argument at all.

Unless of course you can prove that it does...
otherwise, Id start typing that post

Turbolasers are not pure light, the technical commentaries on TF.net give proof that the light of a turbolaser is an after-effect of the actual laser.

Electromagnetic shields produce electromagnetic radiation.

Microwaves are the weakest form of electromagnetic radiation and cannot penetrate another concentrated EM field that generates levels of magnetism greater or equal to microwave energy.

“No. There is a very important difference. As illustrated by the frequency spectrum on the right, microwaves used in microwave ovens, similar to microwaves used in radar equipment, and telephone, television and radio communication, are in the non-ionizing range of electromagnetic radiation. Non-ionizing radiation is very different from Ionizing radiation . Ionizing radiation is extraordinarily high in frequency (millions of trillions of cycles per second).”

TV, radio waves, and microwaves cannot penetrate a strong EM energy field.

Strong electromagnetic fields repulse radio and tv waves. This is the reason that Cell phones do not work close to strong magnets, near powerlines, or around large deposits of magnetic rocks. The same is true with radios and television signals.

Just in terms of mediums. Ion shields protect against Ionized energy, Photonic shields deal with solid matter, ray shielding deals with energy from the EM spectrum as well as energy weaponry.

Something with a strong magnetic charge cannot be penetrated by Microwave energy.

Cosmic rays bend around the magnetic field of the earth. As further proof.

EM fields cannot be curcumvented by an aspect of the EM spectrum the energy can either bend around an EM field. A powerful one may overtake (or overload) another artificially generated field. But otherwise they cannot penitrate one another.

the spectrum goes in this order from longest to shortest
Radio Waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible Light
Ultraviolet
X-Rays
Gamma Rays

'Twas commenting, I saw a phrase about shields deflecting light...

Anyway, Gue's Microwave beam thingermabob was designed and approved with the capability to penetrate ray shields. Regardless of what techno-babble comes out here, based upon real physics or not, the tech was solely designed to skip standard ray shields.

Now, particle shields could be different. I read the R&D, and this is the relevant part:

While widebrim angles make for weaker beam dispersal, as does small degree angle increse effectiveness of the beam, this dispersal disregards most forms of protection that dont already protect against other forms of heat radiaton, as these forms of protection (as well as fewer forms of radiation sheilding, non-ray sheilding) are already designed to prevent the effects of solar rays of a similar nature.

I take that to mean, the widebrim angle disregards shields that are not designed to withstand solar radiation, which particle shields are designed to do... or is it Ray shields that protect from solar radiation? I don't recall whether or not shields are raised when a craft gets too close to a sun.
