The Aegis were a mysterious group of highly-advanced aliens who lived on a hidden planet and attempted to safeguard the timeline and the fates of many races and cultures throughout the galaxy.

The Aegis have been seen in various forms, their natural form appears to be a large non-humanoid species with numerous shaggy tentacles - the same species which makes up forces of the Aegis's enemies, Counter Strike. (TOS comic: "We Have Met The Enemy...")
A group of Aegis have also been seen to appear as giant humanoids when interacting with the crews of the USS Enterprise-A and USS Enterprise-D following a temporal incident with Devidians. One Aegis visiting Earth following the successful thwarting of a Counter Strike attack altered his form to appear as Human for the benefit of Roberta Lincoln. (TOS comics: "Future Imperiled", "We Have Met The Enemy...")
The Aegis' goals were to maintain the timeline to what they considered to be the correct course, and to guide the development of other civilizations. The Aegis themselves preferred to work from behind the scenes only intervening directly on rare occasions when dealing with larger threats. For most operations the Aegis used operatives from numerous species: They abducted members of various species and bred and genetically engineered their children, before reintroducing them into their societies. These agents would then covertly move to prevent their races from destroying or harming themselves. (TOS comics: "The Peacekeeper", "We Have Met The Enemy..."; TOS episode: "Assignment: Earth")
The Aegis homeworld was located in a cloaked star system some fifty thousand light-years away from Earth. The planet was cosmopolitan and the Aegis had various advanced technologies, including long range transporters which allowed them to deploy their agents light-years away. They also had the ability to move their operatives through time. (TOS novels: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 1, The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 2; TOS episode: "Assignment: Earth"; TOS comics: "The Peacekeeper", "Split Infinities", "Future Imperiled")
The Aegis were "unbound by the limits of time" and could move through it as easily as other races could traverse space. They maintained scanning facilities which allowed their agents to monitor thousands of years back and forth in time and intervene when necessary. As such the Aegis and their operatives had a wide knowledge of the galaxy throughout history, allowing them to determine what was the correct state of affairs. (TOS comic: "The Peacekeeper")
The Aegis' intervention specialists, came from a variety of species and were augmented, trained and equipped by the Aegis - Human operative Gary Seven expected to live for about a thousand years and had access to advanced computer and teleportation technology. The majority of Aegis agents were also equipped with a multipurpose tool and weapon, the servo. (TOS comics: "The Peacekeeper", "Brighter Than a Thousand Suns"; et al.)
There were at least three ranks of specialist: agent, supervisor and senior supervisor. It was also common for a specialist to have a partner in the form of what ordinarily appeared to be a cat, though these "cats" could take on humanoid form. (TOS comics: "The Peacekeeper", "Split Infinities", "Future Imperiled", "Too Many Presidents"; et al.)
Prior to 1968 there were at least two agents assigned to Earth; Agent 201 and Agent 347, both Human. In 1968 both agents were killed in an automobile "accident" engineered by Counter Strike when they discovered evidence of the Aegis' nemesis working on Earth.
When the Aegis lost contact with the agents, Supervisor 194, a Human named Gary Seven, was sent to investigate and adopt the Earth assignment (though it was not until several years later that the truth of the agents' deaths was uncovered). Seven was accompanied by his cat Isis. Seven was also assisted by the previous agents' secretary, Roberta Lincoln, an Earth native Human who continued to work with Seven for many years. (TOS episode: "Assignment: Earth"; TOS comic: "We Have Met the Enemy..."; et al.)
After Gary Seven's departure, Roberta Lincoln became Supervisor, and hired Rain Robinson as her new sidekick; They were sent Ramses to replace Isis. TOS novel: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 2
Other Aegis intervention specialists included:
One of the groups the Aegis kept in check were Counter Strike, who were the same species as the Aegis but operated under a very different philosophy. Like the Aegis, Counter Strike monitored growing civilizations, but rather than guide and protect them Counter Strike looked to destroy any civilization it saw as growing too fast and/or too far.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s Counter Strike set its sights on Earth, seeking to lead it to destruction by seeding new technologies leading to the unbalancing of delicate political scales. Fortunately Supervisor 194 was stationed on Earth and had undone much of their work, eventually uncovering evidence of the plot, and with the assistance of an Aegis starship was able to apprehend the Counter Strike vessel in Earth orbit and prevent further interference. (TOS comic: "We Have Met The Enemy...")
In 2290, a group of rogue agents of the Aegis attempted to capture the starship Pacific which contained a protomatter weapon. The rebels intended to use it against their Aegis masters as they had abandoned the use of weapons long ago and would not have expected the use of the protomatter. Intervention Specialist Gary Seven worked with the crew of the USS Enterprise and destroyed the Pacific along with the protomatter which ended the plot of the rebels. (TOS comic: "The Peacekeeper")
The Aegis Shield, also known as the Aegis Armlet, Aegis Glove, or Aegis, is a recurring equipment piece in the Final Fantasy series. It usually protects the user from the Petrify status, or has a great bonus of Magic Defense.
The Aegis Shield protects against Stone and Poison. It is tied for the second strongest shield in the game, in terms of Defense, but is only the fourth strongest shield overall, boosting a defense of 16. It is found in the Mirage Tower.
The Aegis Shield is the best shield in the game. It grants the user 20% Evasion and resistance to special attacks.
The Aegis Shield, like all the other shields, protects from all status ailments in addition to granting the wielder a bonus of 4 Mind, +16 Defense, and +17 Magic Defense.
The Aegis Shield grants protection against petrification and can be purchased at the Feymarch for 20,000 gil. It grants +4 Defense, +5 Magic Defense, +34 Evasion, +4 Magic Evasion, and +3 Intelligence. It can also be found in the Lunar Ruins, as well as dropped by Catoblepas.
The Aegis Shield returns as a non-buyable shield that provides the exact same bonuses as in Final Fantasy IV. It is also strong against attacks from Mages.
The Aegis Shield grants protection against petrification and grants +5 Defense, +33 Evasion, and +1 Magic, and can sometimes block magic attacks. It is found in Istory Falls, and can be gotten in the Great Forest of Moore during the fire event, before entering the cave a Moogle creates.
The Aegis Shield gives the wearer a great bonus of MBlock and Magic Defense, surpassed only by the Force Shield. It is one of the few pieces of equipment that comes in a limited quantity, as they cannot be acquired from any common enemy and cannot be won in the Colosseum.
The Aegis Armlet gives the wearer +55 Defense and +86 Magic Defense. It has four Materia slots in two linked pairs. It can only be found once, in the underground area of Midgar during Disc 2.
The Aegis Armlet increases vitality and spirit statistics by 20% and defends the player from Silence and Stun.
Aegis Amulet is not an accessory, but an item that is used to teach a GF the Eva-J ability, and 10 can be used to refine into 1 Giant's Ring. It can be acquired either by Angelo Search (1/288 chance), won from UFO?, or by refining 50 Barriers.
The Aegis Glove are the second best Gauntlets in the game, in terms of Evasion. It grants a bonus of 1 to Defense, neutralizes Fire damage, and teaches Steiner the "Charge!" ability.
Kimahri Ronso, Lulu, Tidus, and Yuna's equipment acquire the Aegis moniker when customized with all four Elemental-proof abilities.
The Aegis is the Relic Shield of the Paladin Job, available only to Level 75 Paladins after having completed an immensely lengthy and expensive quest (often taking months of time, hundreds of millions of Gil, and the full assistance of an entire Linkshell community to obtain difficult Dynamis drop items). The Aegis is by-and-large the greatest shield available in all of Final Fantasy XI, and as such is also, by a great margin, the most frequently upgraded Relic Weapon in the game as well. The main appeal being that it reduces all Magic Damage incurred by the user by 25%, adds 200 base Damage to the Shield Bash Job Ability, and has a 75% chance of blocking a physical attack, which mitigates that damage by 75%. The Aegis is one of the less-expensive Relic Weapons to upgrade, and as such, due to its profound functionality, is often an upgrade sponsored by a Linkshell group to an elected, deserved member, and not a private job as most of the offensive weapons are. So many exist now that it has become unusual to see competitive endgame Linkshells performing without at least one member wielding an Aegis. Almost all legitimate attempts made on both the Pandemonium Warden and Absolute Virtue are generally not considered serious unless an item like this plays a role somehow in magical damage mitigation.
Aegis Shield is a high-ranking shield that can be equipped after obtaining the Shields 5 License. It provides +13 Evasion and +50 Magick Evasion and can be purchased from Balfonheim.
