Claiming ownership over millions of people's possessions might seem like a bold claim, but that is one the Diable Avionics Corporation intends to enforce, with deadly means if necessary.

GAMEPLAY
The Diable Avionics play similarly to Mid-tech: using their superior mobility to choose their engagements and overwhelm isolated targets. The subtility they add is that their ships are generally individually slightly inferior to Vanilla ones, but synergize very well with their wings of Wanzers: mech-like strike-crafts that pack a superior punch but susceptible to enemy fire. To help them carry their missions, most ships tend to saturate the enemy's PD with swarms of micro-missiles.
A typical successful engagement against Diable Avionics fleets generally requires a solid phalanx of anti-fighter weapons to break the initial Wanzer and missile waves and a decisive counter-strike while their carriers are still rebuilding their strike-craft support.
