My impression is that the previous writer (Allan Pratt?) implied the 
reason the force field must be "projected" was some law of physics, 
not the particular technology.  Surely we must assume that physical 
laws are the same everywhere and everywhen (at least in our universe...),
otherwise this whole discussion is pointless.  So if Kirk et al can
do it, the Empire can as well.
