Combat Barrier



A Combat Barrier is a mobile ground fortification barrier in use by the United Nations Space Command.

Purpose
Combat Barriers are placed around strategic sites as defensive mechanisms against enemy weapons fire. Several types of barriers exist, but all are made of thick battle plating presumably made of titanium or titanium-ceramic armor. The purpose of combat barriers is simple: to protect soldiers and dug-in fortifications from the enemy. While they are almost impenetrable to plasma and projectile weapons, they do not protect well against the concussive force of an explosion such as a rocket or grenade impact, but do well to absorb shrapnel and flying debris.
