While on the topic of slave shields, I must add something. Isn't it odd that a focused field of energy is somehow self-sustaining, and can presumably stay up and running for however long is required? How in the heck would one activate or maintain such a thing?

Power doesn't just come from nowhere though. If it were solar-powered then the Earth would be becoming a ball of ice, and that doesn't appear to be happening.

Vela was slave-shielded without an apparent space station present.
(your guess as to what I meant was correct)

Someone on either this board or on timewarp's board suggested the shield was dual-layered: One outer shield, a layer in which solar-powered shield generators resided (similar to the Sa-Matra's but more powerful), and an inner shield to protect the generators on the inside. Presumably, the Spathi's shield would not have the inner layer (unless they were afraid someone inside might turn it off).

if they put a solar shield no directly between the earth and the sun no ice age would happen.
of they could just put generators on earth itselfe.

Generators on Earth would mean that someone would've found it eventually. Of course with Zelnick galavanting about and the Kohr-Ah preparing for thier Great Cleansing of this sector the likelyhood the Earthlings finding it before being destroyed or freed would be incredibly low to not at all.
As stated before, Vela and Spathiwa both pretty much invalidate the possibility that a slaveshield generator would be on a Starbase. If such a generator did exist and Zelnick were not to have aided the Earth Starbase in time, the generator would potentially have failed and knocked down the slave shield in the process. But I digress.
Perhaps a slave shield is just a highly charged part of an atmosphere (some layer of an atmosphere that all live-bearing worlds have in common) and the Ur-Quan have some sort of energy-shielding around thier ships so that they can penetrate the shield during thier regular maintenence.
