A stronger version of the Small Shield Dome. It costs 5 times the amount and has 5 times the Shield Power. Light Fighters (unless attackers weapon technology is 11 or higher) are not able to penetrate a Large Shield Dome. Only one small and one large shield dome can exist on each planet. Despite their description, and being called a "dome", domes do not offer any sort of overarching defensive ability. They act as a single unit of fodder.

Some would argue that this greatly limits their usefulness, and that the resources should rather be spent on a Plasma Turret. However, this is not entirely true. The Large Shield Dome usually prolongs the combat another round, many times being the last object that all the attacking ships attack. This could yield the difference between a draw and a defeat for the defender, and thus save the defender his resources sitting on the planet attacked.
