Legio Cybernetica - Legio Cybernetica Wargear: Cybernetica Cortex - This is a truly arcane device and a wonder of the Mechanicum's arts, comprising the reasoning control centre and animating machine-spirit of a Battle-automata. Comprising a synthetic "brain" of sorts, it consists of an armoured casing containing a complex bio-plastic mass which extrudes nerve-like grey tendrils into the body of the robotic frame into which it is housed, invigorating it with strange false-life. Far beyond a simple Cogitator in capacity, it is neither truly alive nor sapient like the dread and inhuman "Silica Animus" feared of old. Instead, it is akin to a primal web of bellicose instinct, guided not by self-awareness and reason, but by a programmed framework of encoded behaviour, comprising simple exacting instructions and commands. The result is a superior, self-guided weapon; a machine-predator that will actively and instinctively pursue its foes as well as act with a degree of tactical sense and self-preservation beyond anything a Combat-Servitor is capable of, but without the dangers of revolt and the development of blasphemous machine intelligence -- or so the Legio Cybernetica claim.Cortex Controller - This control and signalling device uses data-djinn to command Battle-automata fitted with Cybernetica Cortex systems, allowing the wielder to witness the battlefield through the automata's own senses as well as monitor their status and exact precise control over their actions. Only the most highly experienced and specifically augmented Adepts of the Mechnicum and the Forge Lords of the Legiones Astartes can hope to fathom the use of these fractious devices and successfully interpret the storm of data streaming from their un-living minions.Reactor Blast - Most Battle-automata are powered by compact reactor cores which pulse like living hearts within them, pumping electrically charged vitae fluids from their cortex around their frames and affording them the ability to self-repair and react more in the manner of living creatures than inert machines. Should these reactors be breached at last, they can detonate, consuming the Battle-automata's remains in a fiery explosion.Atomantic Shielding - Certain Battle-automata designs feature particularly powerful atomantic reactor cores designed to energise defensive field generators built into the Battle-automata's exterior armour plating, as well as power its combat systems.Mechanicum Protectiva - This term covers a variety of energy field and defensive shield projectors devised by the Magos of the Mechanicum to protect themselves both on the battlefield and from assassination by their rivals. For this reason, the frequency and modulation of each device is a closely guarded secret.Enhanced Targeting Array - Certain Battle-automata are fitted with additional slaved Cogitators and sub-incunabula Machine Spirits (artificially intelligent sub-routines) devoted to relentlessly tracking and targeting of any and all potential threats in range.Battle-Automata Power Blades - Fitted to the primary weapon-limbs of some Battle-automata, these sabre-like bladed Power Weapons use molecular disruption fields super-charged with power from the Battle-automats's core. They are a close combat weapon.Infravisor - This simple visor allows its users to access a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. So equipped, they can see better in low-light conditions than a normal human could see in optimal daylight.Lightning Gun - This aptly-named weapon takes the form of a baroquely designed carbine either connected to a micro-reactor or, in the case of an Ordo Reductor Thallax, their firer's own cybernetic power core. It fires an ionizing las-beam down which a powerful based discharge of electromagnetic forces is unleashed, and is equally effective at slaughtering the living and overloading machine targets alike.Shock Charges - Used to augment the combat power of Legio Cybernetica Battle-automata, these devices amplify the force of the Battle-automata's blows with powerful electrostatic discharges which detonate like thunderclaps when striking their target.Maxim Bolter - A relatively compact, short-chambered rotary Bolter, these weapons are capable of a much higher rate of fire than a standard Bolter, but their weight and recoil mean that they may only be used by heavily augmented users such as Karkinos Servitors and the Myrmidons of the Cult Mechanicum.Mauler Pattern Bolt Cannon - A field-support weapon found within the Mechanicum's Skitarii Tech-Guard formations and mounted on certain Battle-automata, these baroque and bulky automatic cannons differ from the more common Heavy Bolter only in calibre, with the Mauler using substantially larger and denser shells, with a proportionally larger and stronger gun-frame needed to handle the firing stresses involved. These are powerful weapons whose secrets are jealously guarded by the Mechanicum.Photon Thruster Weapons - The arcane secrets of these deadly but unstable beam weapons are jealously guarded by the Adepts who hold them, even from their own brotherhoods within the Mechanicum, leading some to believe the technology is xenos in origin. When fired, they unleash howling, needle-thin beams of utter blackness able to pierce the densest matter, slashing and slicing armoured men and machinery apart like razors, leaving pulsing waves of darkness in their wake. The exotic power sources of these unearthly weapons are extremely unstable, and catastrophic failure can lead its firer to being consumed by raging black flames until only dust remains.Paragon of Metal - While each Battle-automata of the Legio Cybernetica is itself a creation of a near lost age of human power, its form and function a miracle of technological artifice and the product of arcane secrets without number, there remains among them war machines with powers and capabilities far beyond their peers. Whether somehow blessed by the Omnissiah's hand, the product of a single Magos' unmatched genius or the darker influence of the forbidden, a Paragon of Metal is a near-unstoppable engine of war, albeit a machine perhaps not to be trusted, even by its master.Abeyant - Considered in part as a symbol of status as well as functional tool by many high-ranking Magi of the Mechanicum, an Abeyant is a name given to a general class of hovering conveyances into which the rider's augmetics and life support systems are directly connected through bionic linkage, so that the machine-vehicle becomes an extension of their own body. Many of the higher-ranking Domini of the Legio Cybernetica and the Ordo Reductor prefer to take to the battlefield mounted on specially-outfitted Abeyants. Often taking the form of either a stylised throne or enclosed scarab-like framework, their principal advantages are that their mag-suppressor fields allow the most war-torn battlefield to be traversed with ease, and their armoured life-support chassis greatly improves their user's survivability.
