Beyond mobilizing the war potential of its own civilization's humans, the Galente Federation's most outstanding asset in successive interstellar wars had been its vast robot armies.

The endless armies of metal robots had once cast an incomparably terrifying shadow over many World Civilizations surrounding the Galente Federation.

Their astonishingly efficient use of resources was one reason why the Galente Federation, despite ruling a starfield vastly smaller than that of the Wizard Alliance, still inspired such great wariness in the Wizard World.

As long as it possessed sufficient resources, the Galente Federation could produce troops in virtually limitless numbers.

Moreover, those metal robots feared neither death nor pain, acting solely according to data directives.

In some respects, they were even more useful than the slave creature legions whose souls were controlled by the Wizard World.

Furthermore, these robots could easily be targeted by the Wizard Civilization through specific methods.

For instance, the mechanics of the City of Steel had developed a High-Frequency Particle Oscillator in recent years.
