Summary
A personal energy shield was a defensive technology that projected a field of energy that protected the user from blaster fire, the elements, or other hazards. Most were small enough to be worn on a belt or arm, or were designed to be held much like a traditional physical shield.
When activated, the device protected the wearer with a glowing energy field. Typically, the standard energy shield was only effective against energy attacks, such as blaster bolts. However, other variants created by the Mandalorians

could block melee attacks, while other shields developed by the Arkanians and Verpine

, and other cultures, were capable of resisting a variety of different attacks, including electrical, kinetic, cold, heat, and sonic damage.
Defensive methods also varied: some shields deflected incoming fire, others absorbed it, sometimes even recharging from the absorbed energy. Most energy shields provided protection for a short period of time before depleting, and their protective threshold also varied. Some of the shields were disposable, while others could be recharged or they recharged themselves over time.
