>>5266532Xana being surrounded by a shadow in the warp or a Pariah zone effect (maybe we steal some Blackstone pylons) can form its defense.
It extends the mandeville point to a far greater degree, forcing ships to exit the warp further out and thus benefitting the planets defenses by giving them extra range to shoot from.
But it isnt merely tactical defense i am most concerned of, its the espionage field.
For that, I HAVE A DREAM.
Specialized cyber security and anti saboteur forces: the Herakleans.
They will have bodies of steel and bionic, so none may mimic their form by the change of flesh.
They shall be given codes of the most complex ones, with algorithms and machine spirits written by us in a null field so no data daemon of the warp may scry upon them. The Nemean Defense Matrix, impenetrable to hacks or malware even of the most warp tainted kind.
Their very psyche and mental pattern proved and analyzed, and their first members drawn from Lucians we trust as their most veteran, so we know at the highest level they are untouched.
Their motto shall be that of Agripinna. . .because I think it fits best: "Let burnished ranks of steel, crush the serpent 'neath its heel"
