Ultraviolet Shield

Designed for use by individuals, the UV shields is, in laymen's terms, no more than a very advanced version of sunscreen.  These units are primarily used by Bascillus and Methuselah so they can walk around in sunlight without having issues.  In the case of a Bascillus, so their nanites don't react to the ultraviolet radiation to become over-stimulated and consume the individual;  in the case of Methuselah, due to the genetic alterations the host body undergoes, exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes a lethal sunburn on steroids like effect and the reaction can 'melt' an individual.
In the long run, the personal UV shield operates under the same principles as the area shield used for similar purposes on Terra over the Byzantium Empire's territory as well as off-world shields based on it.  Meant to only protect against ultraviolet radiation, a UV shield has minimal, if any, practical application in a combat situation.
