The commando droid personal shield was a hand-held energy shield used by BX-series droid commandos stationed at the Citadel. One was also seen in Pablo's Pawn shop on Nal Hutta.

Description

Composed of a metal frame with an elongated hexagonal design, it was somewhat similar in appearance to the Confederate Roundel.

When activated, it allowed its user to extend a blaster through the energy shield, enabling the wielder to advance while firing and remain protected from opposing blaster fire. Although it could effectively block fire from blaster weapons, the shield offered no protection against physical matter such as rocks, branches, etc., nor could it protect against thermal detonator or grenade explosions. It was not determined if it could repel blaster cannon fire and/or starship weaponry.
