This device generates a bubble of space-time through a wire mesh around the enclosed volume wherein time runs far slower than in the external universe.  The generator has a built-in timer that will automatically drop the field at a preset external time (anywhere from 5 minutes to billions of years) — the internal passage of time is measured in fractions of a second. An active generator produces a perfectly-mirrored enclosure along the mesh that surrounds the generator and its designated volume.  Placing a working stasis field generator within another stasis field generator will cause both to shut down, though this can take anywhere from an instant to several hours.

Note:  This device is based upon the "Stasis Web" option in GURPS Vehicles Expansion 1.  It has been rated here for use with FF&S.

Design
Values are per displacement ton (14m³) of the internal volume of the field and include the generator and the required mesh frame.  HPGs sufficient to generate the required energy must also be installed, though these do not need to be within the stasis field.  Nothing in the known universe can damage an active stasis field or its contents.
