TYPE I
The ORB is based on a "component" design from the Ministry of Defense. This is but one in a series of such single function ORBs for insertion into various starships and stations that are to come. Starships R&D's with special recepticle designs are forthcoming.
Type I ORB is, in essence, a single shield engine/generator that will cast a spherical shield around a 20km radius in space and a dome-like shield on the ground.
Note: This is a defensive measure shield only. The shield stops weapons from both inside and outside.
(Note: As of now, it cannot be used until Starship R&D and Station Recepticles are approved)
R&D Time: 20 Days

No but I don't see anyway you could not let it slip by unless you're not going to let him R&D anything with the ORB.

Correct me if I'm wrong... isn't this a planetary defence station? To protect, for example... shipyards?

You think I would let something like that slip by? :)

But he can R&D a modified ISD. Build that at 16 days build this at 2 days. And have enough shields to pretty much go through 4 ISDs.

It's a plug-in module for some other R&D's he's going to be making.

So you're saying that by spending 2 days building one of these you can give a ship around 2x the shields of an Eclipse?

Funkalistic.

Very well.

I should say: 20km maximum shield radius.
However, assuming the object is a stand alone object, in the event the shield is extended to the 20km distance or shorter and is weakened to the point that a ship get's through ... then the answer to Griff's question is "no", only the hull protects the object.

Twenty thousand meters?
So if a ship were to somehow get through the shield...would the actual object itself still be protected by those shields?

I cut the shield strength in half.
this is just a 200 meter engine tho... It's only function is to generate the shield.

Might be easier if you submitted the entire thing all at once, so we can piece it together.
Without additional knowledge, I'm going to have to say that a 200-meter space faring orb generating 500,000 SBD of shield strength, projected to a 20,000-meter radius sounds kind of uber. 500,000 SBD is a heck of a lot; you could produce a dozen in a week, set them up, and have an invulnerable fleet...
