This article is about the mission reward. For the repuation reward with advanced stats, see New Romulus Advanced Prototype Covariant Shield Array.- (10% Bleedthrough)
The Reman Prototype Covariant Shield Array is a type of Ship Shields awarded for completing “Coliseum”. It has a higher maximum capacity but slower regeneration rate than the standard [Shield Array].
This particular variant of Covariant Shield Array is directly equivalent to a Covariant Shield Array [Cap]x2 of whatever Mk level that you acquire it at.
Stats[]
Shield capacity and regen values are modified by your engineering skills, so will most likely be higher than what's listed below, but should not be lower.

Information[]
While not a particularly amazing shield (it has no special bonuses like the Borg or Aegis shields), it is quite easy to get, and has a massive overall capacity. It really makes a difference as a cosmetic item however, as it retextures many parts of your ship with a backlit teal glow, somewhat similar to the glow that the Aegis shields give, and gives the remaining surfaces of the ship a dark reflective sheen.
This scheme disables your ship colour customizations, so if you're especially fond of your colours, you can right-click the shield and disable its visual effects in your Ship Status panel.
Additionally, the mission you get this shield as a reward for is repeatable, and while the shield itself doesn't automatically "rank up" with your character, you can replay the quest when you get promoted, for a stronger version of the same shield, effectively making the shield "level-less", like the Aegis shield currently is.
In the April 24, 2012 patch, this became the first released piece of a Reman Prototype Space Set.
This shield can be converted to the New Romulus Command Advanced Prototype Space Set version, with updated stats, for free using the Gear Upgrade System.
