<p><strong>Yes, you can have multiple fields in the same territory.</strong></p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.gamesalute.com/sites/default/files/AlienFrontiers-rules_0.pdf" rel="nofollow">rules</a> don't explicitly address this (Fields can be found on page 12). However, there is a <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/706941/multiple-fields-same-territory" rel="nofollow">thread on Board Game Geek</a> where this question is asked, and multiple users answer that it is "perfectly legal," with no dissenting opinions.</p>

<p>Between the lack of explicit ruling in the rulebook, and the validation from other users, it appears that you are fine to place or move fields into the same territory.</p>

<p>According to the rules found at this pdf link, on page 12 (which addresses fields) it says:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The Repulsor Field prevents colonies from
  being added to or removed from the territory
  on which it is located. <strong>The Repulsor Field does
  not prevent its own movement or removal, <em>nor
  does it prevent the movement or removal of any
  other field generator that is also on that territory</em>.</strong>
  The first player to discard a Gravity Manipulator
  card will place the Repulsor Field counter on a
  territory of their choice. Any subsequent player
  who discards a Gravity Manipulator card will
  move the counter to another territory.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>This makes it clear that the rules <em>do</em> allow for the Repulsor Field to be in the same territory as another. Without an explicit statement otherwise, I can't see why the other fields wouldn't be allowed in the same territory without the Repulsor Field.</p>

**Yes, you can have multiple fields in the same territory.**

The [rules](http://www.gamesalute.com/sites/default/files/AlienFrontiers-rules_0.pdf) don't explicitly address this (Fields can be found on page 12). However, there is a [thread on Board Game Geek](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/706941/multiple-fields-same-territory) where this question is asked, and multiple users answer that it is "perfectly legal," with no dissenting opinions.

Between the lack of explicit ruling in the rulebook, and the validation from other users, it appears that you are fine to place or move fields into the same territory.

This makes it clear that the rules *do* allow for the Repulsor Field to be in the same territory as another. Without an explicit statement otherwise, I can't see why the other fields wouldn't be allowed in the same territory without the Repulsor Field.
