[Source] Developed from hydrostatic bubble technology, the Gungan personal energy shield was a handheld energy shield employed by members of the Gungan Grand Army to defend against both physical attacks and blaster fire. These ovoid frames projected a defensive screen of shield energy capable of deflecting blaster bolts back at the shooter and were similar to riot shields used on other systems. Sized to the wearer, the shield was generally about one-and-a-half meters long and was carried either on the wrist or held in the off-hand hand.
