resistance? they never tire, are biologically immortal and the only way perma kill them is to shatter their core or else they can just regenerate
Destructive power? the Cluster was a planet buster gem made from a mass grave. Lapis Lazuli can manipulate entire oceans. White Diamond can brainwash entire planets in minutes
Mobility? they have galaxy wide FTL much more reliable than warp travel and would kill any biological live on their ships
so yeah they would be a minor power like the Tau and could grow like them

Isn't the Imperiums tech canonically fucking retarded beyond belief?
Like, their shit is objectively worst than what the US military has *right the fuck now* because the creators have no fucking idea how weapons actually work and are guided exclusively by rule-of-cool?
>a minor power like the Tau >making it past the cadian gate Are you high right now?

Also I'm aware that the Ariete is Italian and not American. Substitute >objectively worst than what the US military has for >objectively worst than what any quasi-modern military has

MInor in term of numbers.
put the diamonds or high end elemental gems and they fuck the planet up
many aspects of IoM technology are more basic than our modern tech
Jaxon Nelson
In some cases? Yes. That's mostly because of extreme stagnation over 10k years and lack of tools (or unwillingness) to create better tech.
The overwhelming majority of the Imperium's tech is ridiculously overpowered though. Their bottom-of-the barrel gun (lasgun) has the sort of stopping power equal to a .50 round.
that would be useless against gems because of their thermal resistance
even bolt weapons would need a deadshot to destroy their core

>Their bottom-of-the barrel gun (lasgun) has the sort of stopping power equal to a .50 round. Quantify that.
I don't want examples or shit you took from a book or how much dmg/sec your little fucking game says. I mean a quantifiable, measurable amount of energy.
Wtf do you mean by "stopping power", and what is the "stopping power of a .50 and you are aware there is more than one kind of .50 calibre round, right?
