Even Little Grey became terrifyingly powerful once they had Unified Force Weapons.

The Soldier Insects, never particularly intelligent to begin with, were slaughtered like vegetables beneath a cleaver.

The Dark Matter logistics system kept the enemy from securing large-scale supplies. They could only turn insect corpses into ice to replenish their stores and use the Energy Axis to absorb part of the enemy's high-energy attacks.
