Level 2: Protection from missiles: The second level allows the Sentinel force field to effectively absorb the damage from standard missile attacks, as well as strengthening the resistance to Mass Drivers.Level 1: Protection from Mass Drivers: The starting level for the force field, this Sentinel upgrade effectively absorbs Mass Driver projectiles, but is weak against everything else.The force field itself starts at Level 1, and can be upgraded twice, to Level 2 and Level 3. The force field itself must be researched and existing Sentinels upgraded, before the force field can be used. Anything smaller than Frigate-class ships are too small and too fast to be effectively shielded by the Sentinel. Despite being similar to the Kushan or Taiidan Defender in armament and turning ability, Sentinels are almost exclusively used to shield large Capital Ships with their Force Field upgrade.12 Sentinels are required to completely shield friendly vessels with their force field. It is armed with strong Mass Driver weapons (later upgraded to Energy Cannons), sturdy armor relative to its size, and can be upgraded with Advanced Sensors, allowing it to detect Mimicked or Cloaked vessels. The Sentinel is the first microship made available during the single player campaign, near the end of Mission 5. Aart was rewarded for his efforts by being chosen to assemble the first Sentinel Squadron: The War Dwarves, short pilots who have the unglamorous and dangerous jobs of standing guard and creating force fields to protect their kiith mates in much larger capital ships. This led to the creation of the smallest manned ship in Hiigaran space. He installed a cockpit onto a Sentinel, donned a vacc suit and pushed the craft to its limits. However, the project was saved by Aart ne Somtaaw, a small member of the engineering team. When they added a force-field generator and tested it, the Sentinel AI was confused by the distortions created by polarized gravity fields, leading to a Dervish Multibeam Frigate being cut in half with all hands lost. However, even the most advanced AI could not keep up with what the Somtaaw engineers wanted. The Sentinel was originally envisioned as a remote drone craft for an advanced mobile sensor platform.
