Though proud in nature, Legion still recognises the prudence of copying effective weapons from defeated enemies. Based on Xziphid insect swarming tactics used to slow and wear down approaching enemies, the Hive rapidly fabricates billions of tiny nanobots that mercilessly seek out and disassemble threats.

Recent advances in electromagnetic wave theory have allowed the production of first generation shield projectors capable of negating incoming projectiles. The technology is fairly new however and only a few can be reasonably maintained due to high cost and large energy consumption requirements. Ramparts also cannot stop high energy impactors commonly used by Long Range sniping units.

During the latter stages of the Pro-Com war after crippling loss of material, the Imperial Legion turned to retrofitting old military space stations into production facilities capable of deploying reinforcements more efficiently to key points. Though the tactic bought precious time, the new Starcannons came too late in the war to stem the overwhelming tide of MLA forces.
