Haydonites - Technology

Technology

The Haydonites after the Third Robotech War amassed a large fleet of cylindrical shaped warships which were advanced enough to possess shield technology. The command vessels were capable of opening up to fire multiple energy beams that were capable of destroying starships. They were also capable of firing a disruptor wave that was capable of immobilizing or overloading the Shadow technology they provided the REF. Their ships were also capable of hyperspace folds though the limits of this are not truly known.

The Haydonites made use of wing shaped fighters that were armed with dual energy weapons; and were somewhat similar in design to the Cylon fighters of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series. They also made use of mecha which were somewhat similar to the Invids in that they were insect in shape. Apparently, these mecha required command from a Haydonite to remain functional and damage to the Haydonite can lead to the deactivation of the unit.

The Haydonites were primarily responsible for the REF's development of Shadow devices and Synchro weapon technology. This was mostly because they had planned to destroy the REF once they had defeated the Invid and managed to devastate the REF fleet at Space Station Liberty.
