Planetary Shield

Planetary Shields project an impenetrable high-intensity energy barrier around your home planet, making it completely immune to all direct attacks, rallies, raids, and scouting missions on the Galaxy Map for 8, 24, or 72 hours.

Available Durations

Planetary Shields are available in 8 Hours, 24 Hours, and 72 Hours variants.

How to Use

  • Click the Protection / Shield icon on your Base HUD, or open your Backpack and click on a Planetary Shield item.
  • Confirm the activation to instantly wrap your planet in a defensive bubble.

Critical Rules & Constraints

  • Hostile Actions Break Shield: Initiating hostile military actions against another player (such as launching an attack, raid, scout, or rally against a player base) will immediately break your active Planetary Shield!
  • Galaxy Map vs Portal Network: A Planetary Shield protects your planet against direct Galaxy Map fleet attacks. If an enemy has discovered your Portal Address, they can still initiate ground portal attacks unless you also activate a Portal Shield or reset your address with a Frequency Shifter.
