The game AIs and cybers fought with me throughout The War. Sometimes we were purely humanitarian and peacekeeping in nature. On many worlds we never pulled out a gun. Other times we fought Chinese or Shang ground troops for weeks to dig them out. They could run anything from standard powered armor to cars, jeeps, tanks, and mechs. And of course they kept Ranger running, along with the small parasite drones they used as starfighter supplements. That was one of the many innovations the cybers brought to warfare. Why risk a pilot’s life when you can flood the zone with tiny drones. Not as powerful as a fighter, but quantity can overcome that. And as long as you trust them, everything is golden. And you better believe I trusted my boys and girls.
