Argus Citadel-6 Security Barrier
Argus flagship security barrier with integrated crowd-control pulse; the corporate guard's edge.
The Citadel-6 is Argus' premier security barrier, designed for Core corporate guard details and high-value asset protection. Beyond standard energy shielding, the Citadel-6 integrates a crowd-control pulse emitter that can discharge a concussive shockwave in a short radius, staggering hostiles and buying the protected individual time to relocate. The cost is power: the pulse eats half the remaining charge, leaving the operator exposed until the capacitor cycles. Every Citadel-6 is networked to Argus' monitoring grid; activation, damage events, and pulse discharges are logged in real time. This makes the Citadel-6 a liability tracker as much as a shield, which is exactly how Argus and their clients prefer it. Restricted to licensed security operations; possession without a valid Argus security contract is a Kadiss-flaggable offence.
