Firthing Repulsor Wells

The Firthing Repulsor Wells are an array of six large puck-shaped repulsor-field generators set in orbit around Krittain Major so as to repel any asteroids, comets, or other astronomical vagabonds from entering the atmosphere and potentially damaging the planet's surface. With Krittain's nefarious status as a one-time refugee and convict haven, galactic industries were reluctant to supply planetary shield generators to the planet's populace. A few engineering sorts proposed the acquisition of industrial mining repulsor wells to protect Krittain, and efforts were put forth to do so.

Only two of the six wells are identical &mdash; they happen to be bonafide industrial mining wells. The other four are kitbashed from an assemblege of smaller or salvaged generators from throughout the quadrant. One is rumored to be from an Interdictor and heavily modified. All six are rudimentarily navigable, and are nudged about on their orbits so as effectively push any hazardous astronomical bodies away from the planet.

While Krittain's status has no doubt improved over time, and technology become more attainable, so as to consider replacing the wells with proper shield generators, the Krittish have flatly refused. Many citizens look upon the wells as just another quirky badge of honor for their world.
