Virtual Set: Defensive Shields (often just Defensive Shields) is a Players Committee sheet of 18 printable Defensive Shield slips from the Virtual Original era, with official text as of 4 December 2006. Each slip is cut out and sleeved with the matching Decipher Defensive Shield. star-wars.pl calls it Premium Set 1.[1][2]

The sheet belongs to Virtual Sets (2002-2009); see also History of the Players Committee. Its icon shorthand is explained at Virtual card icons. It is distinct from Virtual Shields (the 2009–2014 Legacy list), Virtual Set D (the current shields set) and the Defensive Shield card type. See Defensive Shields for all uses of the name.
