Vehicle:Monitor/Defense5

The most curious defense in the Monitor defensive arsenal and a clear example of Esoteric technology. The dimensional shield module is a device capable of briefly altering the dimensionality of realspace, creating a "bubble" of non-simply-connected space such that approaching matter or energy "lenses" across it without entering the intervening space. As one might imagine, this type of defense is virtually impregnable. However, it is also limited. The module's effects only last for a moment, and only once -- just long enough to bypass a planet-killing superlaser or a similar superweapon. In fact, it is known to be the Monitors' chiefest defense against reality-warping metric weapons, against which Motive otherwise has no countermeasures.
