The Riot Shield is a personal shield constructed of a metal frame and an energy shield that is opaque to anyone looking at it, but which the wielder can see through. Striking with the shield results in a discharge of equivalent energy to a stun baton. In typical use, it will survive several blaster bolts or a single strike from a lightsaber.
Riot Shield has had all of its mechanical features colored in a bright yellow, making it stand out in almost any situation and easy to spot.
The handle of this Riot Shield has been altered to incorporate a set of rings attached to the grip that slips comfortably over the wearer's fingers to aid in weapon retention.
Riot Shield has been fitted with a striking surface coated in a thin layer of durasteel, making this Riot Shield slightly more resistant to damage and ensuring it retains structural integrity over time.
