The Peloran gave us fabricators more powerful than anything we could build when The War came upon us all. They could break down every single strut or system, inject strengthening elements into the mix, and extrude it anew. They could refit anything with modern technologies in less time than we could build it new. And after the Yosemite and New Washington strikes we had far too few factories and yards to rebuild our military in any conventional sense. So we picked through every boneyard, reserve, federal guard, militia, and even private collection we were able to track down. Any weapon of war built in the last four hundred years fed our fabricators and came out to fight against the Shang and the Chinese. It was an amazing sight to behold.
