Emergency Force Fields

Emergency force fields are automated safety systems distributed throughout starships that activate within milliseconds of detecting a hull breach or atmospheric loss. These fields create temporary barriers that prevent explosive decompression and contain hazardous materials.

The system includes redundant emitters at critical junctions and can maintain multiple simultaneous fields. Emergency force fields are designed to allow personnel passage while blocking atmospheric escape, and can be selectively configured to contain specific hazards like fire, radiation, or biological contamination.
