The Cybran T2 Mobile Stealth Field System, nicknamed the Deceiver, is a Cybran unit. This is a stealth unit. It is often an essential part of Cybran strategy. That said, care must be taken to ensure both that whatever units are hidden by the generator are within it's comparatively small area of effect and that they remain so when moving, as the generator moves more slowly than most Cybran units. The stealth field is also ineffective when attempting to hide air units, although Cybran T3 air units have their own stealth fields.
One of the more effective Cybran tactics is the use of Deceiver networks to move a relatively large force within enemy radar range, draw off their mobile units with another, smaller group of units, then send in the stealthed units to do considerable damage to a base that is now, in theory, relatively lightly defended. The Fire Beetle is a "natural" choice for the stealth force.
One can also produce a confusing if generally benign psychological effect by moving two identical Deceiver-covered forces into enemy radar range, then toggling the stealth field on each Deceiver in turn, giving the appearance of teleportation.
Unlike mobile shield generators, the Deceiver does not shut down its stealth field when loaded on an air transport.
