Using the rules presented in MgT's sourcebook #4: Psion it is possible to create starships powered or supplemented by psionic individuals, however the rules are mainly focused upon the use of the psion's powers in the starship and how they affect the ships movement rate etc. In no place do the rules discuss the protection of said starship so, one afternoon I decided to write up rules for a form of starship armour designed to work with these rules.
Psionic lattice is a network of special psionic crystals that convert psionic energy into a form of shield. The lattice can draw power off of either a member of the crew in contact with an advanced psionic interface or from the ship’s psionic battery. The lattice projects a field of energy with a strength according to the amount of psionic power put into it, as per the table below. This armour can be stacked with other forms of armour. This armour takes up space = 3% hull tonnage and costs 30% of base cost.

| Power (in psi points per turn) | Armour |
| 0 | 0 armour (10 armour personal) |
| 2 | 1 armour (30 armour personal) |
| 4 | 2 armour (50 armour personal) |
| 6 | 3 armour (70 armour personal) |
| 8 | 4 armour (90 armour personal) |
