'''{{co|#9ef37c|Granted when accepted:}}''' A faction-specific Civilian Shield Hardener module ({{icon|isis amarr|22}}Civilian EM Shield Hardener /{{icon|isis caldari|22}}Civilian Kinetic Shield Hardener /{{icon|isis gallente|22}}Civilian Thermal Shield Hardener / {{icon|isis minmatar|22}}Civilian Explosive Shield Hardener).

Your agent will give you a Civilian Shield Hardener module, which, when fitted to your ship and activated, will reduce the damage your ship takes from a specific [[damage types|damage type]]. There are four damage types in EVE (Electromagnetic-EM, Thermal, Kinetic, and Explosive), and your ship is differently susceptible to each. Fit the Shield Hardener module to your ship (it's a [[mid slot]] module; if you don't have any spare mid slots, remove one of the existing modules and fit the Shield Hardener) and undock.

 

To see the effects of the Shield Hardener in action, once in space, open the Fitting window. Then open the Attributes panel (on the right-hand side of the Fitting window) and make sure the "Defense" section is expanded (i.e. the details are visible). This part of the Fitting window shows you how much damage your ship can take before being destroyed (commonly known as "[[Tanking|tank]]") - note that your tank is made up of shields, armor, and structure, and each has a different resistance to the four damage types. Assuming you're being shot at by all four damage types equally, adding the three tank types together gives you your ship's "effective hitpoints" (EHP), which are a good overall indication of how tough your ship is.  

 

Note your shields' resistance to the four damage types, then activate your Shield Hardener module (it doesn't provide any benefits unless it's active). Note how your shields' resistance to the module's damage type increases, and how this also increases your ship's effective hit points. NPCs (rats) in EVE [[NPC Damage Types|are very predictable]] in what damage types they deal - your agent will have given you a Shield Hardener to counter the local rats' preferred damage type.  

 

Fly to the mission's deadspace location, and activate your Shield Hardener module. Destroy the one rat, and return to your agent.
