Editing Faash (section)

==Technology==
As mentioned previously, the technological capabilities of the Faash were extremely potent when compared to the Imperium. Their voidships were powered by unique fusion drives which outran Imperial ships at straight line speeds, meaning they were very difficult to outmaneuver unless they were caught off-guard. Additionally, their ships were extremely resilient, protected by '''Aegis Shields''' which were apparently superior to [[Void shields]] and could only be overwhelmed by extremely high energy attacks. Aegis Shields were also capable of some measure of self-repair so that when they became damaged they would spring back to function within a very short space of time, making it virtually impossible to defeat a Faash vessel by any means short of destroying it outright. Not only that, but the Aegis Shields could be miniaturized and worn by its Mech-Guard infantry, making them proportionally resilient and difficult for the Imperium to deal with.

The Infantry soldiers were equipped in their own version of [[Power Armour]], built on a scale slightly bulkier than that of the Astartes; these mech-guard were armed with '''Interference''' weapons that rearranged matter at the molecular level, causing horrific injuries no matter what protections its targets were using, though these interference weapons took a long time to recharge between volleys. As a backup they were also armed with standard [[Lasgun|las weaponry]] that they could switch to in the interim. With all of their protections and the potency of their armament, the warriors of the Astartes soon determined that engaging the Mech-Guard in ranged combat was not effective as it would take a ridiculous amount to firepower to bring down just one opponent; they learned to wait until their interference volleys had completed before closing to engage them in melee where both sides were more evenly matched in terms of brute strength thanks to the power armour, but the Astartes had the advantage due to faster reactions and more savage instincts.

The Faash also had their own version of a [[Dreadnought]] called a '''Leviathan''' which incorporated the same Aegis Shield and interference weapon as the infantry, albeit on a larger scale. These Faash Leviathans were actually even larger than Imperial Leviathan Dreadnoughts and were a horrifying prospect to take down.

As usual, despite conquering several worlds that were superior in some fields of technology, the Imperium is never depicted either before or after the Great Crusade ever using said technology. Likely because Imperial las weaponry is used for its ease of extreme mass production and Imperial top end tech (volkite, conversion, graviton, etc) is far superior.
