Now, to change the topic of the conversation a bit, I had a quick and probably dumb lore question for you, Nia.
I saw that the Legio had planetary shields on pretty much all their starting colonies. Maybe I just didn't look hard enough, but since it's supposed to be some kind of lost tech unknown to the secor at large, is there something in their lore that explains why they get to use it? Or is it purely to make the faction more challenging to invade, even if they shouldn't really have it?
If there's no actual lore on it, I would still guess that it'd make sense for some legio fleets to discover another red planet and get a hold of one of those blueprints before the player but... I guess it can't hurt to ask you directly!
