[s]My shield system works in pulses.  It's a matter of timing; your missiles can hit them if you know when to land them.  Generally just keep shooting and you'll hit them.  The wave pulse systems more or less make swarm attacks (like spamming missiles all at once) hard to use against them.  My guys essentially have advanced defensive, but inferior offensive systems.

Changed absorbent with grounded since they're basically the same thing.  

But I will not recede on the human part since the vast majority of my faction aren't human. They dominant species are roaches.

It's just that humans are the top caste.

You can just treat them as a rebel force if you want since as far as the Celestial Empire would be concerned, they pretty much are.  They're pretty much a insular protectorate and could be a "break away group" of reactionaries if you need them to be to fit in more.[/s]

Nevermind, I read the OP again and withdraw from the RP.
