The Captain Elanthia Shield is inspired by a certain comic book character and some popular movies. The shield was first released at the Great Auction of 2016 and more recently at the Grand Auction of 5123. The shield sold at the Grand Auction of 5123 was "a golvern targe displaying concentric rings of crimson and navy" and a Martial Knowledge Item that grants 5 ranks of Combat Maneuvers Shield Bash.

>analyze targe
You analyze your banded golvern targe and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
You get the feeling that something special might happen if you KICK or THROW it at something.  It can also be RUBbed, COVERed, ROLLed, POUNDed, or TURNed.
Its appearance can be altered in any way as long as it remains a rounded type of shield.

The shield can be used to attack targets when it is kicked or thrown and can hit up to 3 targets. The kick and throw commands are subject to a cooldown of 45 seconds and an additional 15 seconds for each target that is hit. Every 50 ranks of MOC can lower the cooldown by 15 seconds down to a minimum of 45 seconds.

Below is an example of kicking the shield.
