| - The small shield dome defends against attacks up to a strength of 3,000 structure points. Only one can exist at any time. If it is destroyed, however, a new shield dome can be built.
- The Small Shield Dome is a defensive structure with high Shield Power to use as fodder and give a higher chance of a draw. Only one small and one large shield dome can exist on each planet. Despite their description, and being called a "dome", domes do not offer any sort of overarching defensive ability. They act as a single unit of fodder. This greatly limits their usefulness, even if they do have a much better Shield Power-to-cost ratio than any other defense. Some players never even bother to build the one Small Shield Dome they are allowed, instead choosing to save the resources towards getting a Plasma Turret. Although, it may be worth while for players earlier on in the game to use this, as the player may not have the research or shipyard levels necessary to build the plasma turret.
- Short Description The small shield dome covers an entire planet with a field which can absorb a tremendous amount of energy. Long Description Colonizing new worlds brought about a new danger, space debris. A large asteroid could easily wipe out the world and all inhabitants. Advancements in shielding technology provided scientists with a way to develop a shield to protect an entire planet not only from space debris but, as it was learned, from an enemy attack. By creating a large electromagnetic field around the planet, space debris that would normally have destroyed the planet was deflected, and attacks from enemy Empires were thwarted. The first generators were large and the shield provided moderate protection, but it was later discovered that small shields did not afford the protection

| - Short Description The small shield dome covers an entire planet with a field which can absorb a tremendous amount of energy. Long Description Colonizing new worlds brought about a new danger, space debris. A large asteroid could easily wipe out the world and all inhabitants. Advancements in shielding technology provided scientists with a way to develop a shield to protect an entire planet not only from space debris but, as it was learned, from an enemy attack. By creating a large electromagnetic field around the planet, space debris that would normally have destroyed the planet was deflected, and attacks from enemy Empires were thwarted. The first generators were large and the shield provided moderate protection, but it was later discovered that small shields did not afford the protection from larger scale attacks. The small shield dome was the prelude to a stronger, more advanced planetary shielding system to come. After a battle, there is up to a 70 % chance that failed defensive facilities can be returned to use.

The shield increases the chance of draws occurring if the attacker uses a small attack force, such as light fighters. Also, no ship has rapid-fire against a small shield dome. If a planet is frequently attacked by rapid-fire-heavy fleets (deathstars or bombers), the presence of a pair of shield domes serves as a "block" against rapid-fire during that combat round. By the point in the game where rapid-fire becomes an issue, the 10,000 metal and crystal cost will be trivial. Due to the 'bounce effect', a Small Dome is invulnerable to the fire of cargos, making it a perfect defense to prevent a planet from being easily farmed. Just remember a small escort of light fighters may destroy the dome.
