A '''force field''' is an item of defensive technology usually used to protect the area it surrounds. The shield itself is usually a transparent layer of energy covering a building, lifeform or ship. Force fields can be used to keep somewhere air tight or in war they can be used to deflect enemy weaponry. Force fields are usually clear but some appear blue or even red in colour. Most shields are powered by a generator near the protected area. The shields are commonly shaped like a dome or a bubble but this is not always the case. | A '''force field''' is an item of defensive technology usually used to protect the area it surrounds.

This article needs a big cleanup.
It's unclear what's wrong with the article, because the editor who placed this tag here didn't enumerate the page's problems.
These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.
A force field is an item of defensive technology usually used to protect the area it surrounds. The shield itself is usually a transparent layer of energy covering a building, lifeform or ship. Force fields can be used to keep somewhere air tight or in war they can be used to deflect enemy weaponry. Force fields are usually clear but some appear blue or even red in colour. Most shields are powered by a generator near the protected area. The shields are commonly shaped like a dome or a bubble but this is not always the case.
