UNITS
THE ARMORED COMMAND UNIT
The most important and versatile unit in your arsenal is the Armored Command Unit (ACU). The ACU is your avatar on the battlefield, your primary construction unit, and, when upgraded through research, one of your most devastating weapons available to you.
Initially developed by the Earth Empire as a practical solution to the logistical nightmares and prohibitive mass costs of teleporting large armies across the galaxy, the ACU is now considered the most recognizable, powerful and flexible weapon in the galaxy. A low-mass high-capability unit easily transported across the quantum network, the ACU weds cutting-edge military science to the latest breakthroughs in nanotechnology to achieve a combat potential greater than any force in history.

CONSTRUCTION
The ACU can then construct war factories capable of producing terrain-specific military units, as well as engineer units that can be assigned to create further structures themselves (at slightly reduced speed), freeing up the ACU for focus on troop deployment and executing more advanced combat operations.
COMMAND
Though in constant communication with his command structure via the onboard Quantum Communication network, the ACU is in sole command of the battlefield at all times, and even without upgrades a formidable assault unit in its own right. The ACU is able to simultaneously coordinate the movements of substantial military units and manage a burgeoning base of operations.
While like their robotic underlings they are capable of attacking and patrolling, modern ACUs can also be equipped with a variety of powerful upgrades, from jump-jets to an "escape pod" that allows its cranial control center (and the pilot within) to detach, flee to a new site, and reconstitute a fresh ACU exoskeleton back home or in the field.

DESTRUCTION OF THE ACU
Though capable of withstanding the direct impact of a 100-megaton nuclear explosion, the ACU is not invulnerable. If subjected to sufficient stresses or the risk of enemy capture is deemed likely, the ACU's fusion reactor will automatically collapse, resulting in a massive explosion capable of decimating a large area of the planet, along with all life both organic and cybernetic in the blast radius. Please war responsibly.
