Once the Fusion Power has been released, the scientific community gained access to research tools on an unprecedented scale. It was a Moon-based laboratory of Imbri Tech corporation where new developments in Unified Field Theory led to an unexpected discovery: an effect of electroweak field distortion, acting as a strong energy repellant. This effect hasn't been overlooked by the community, who quickly developed an interest in the origin and properties of this "power shield" effect. It was only twelve hours later when a prototype energy storage device using this effect was proposed, and very soon it was present in all kind of machinery, from household objects to spacecraft. The most known innovation introduced by Forcefields is its namesake, a shield of sorts to protect military installations from attack, but things like forcefield batteries were much closer to citizen's everyday experience, and arguably more useful.
