This industrial expertise also extends to modifying starships to their own design such as the [[Banished dreadnought]] developed by the Irusk Workshop and using the once abandoned shipyards in Oth Sonin,{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p462|Enc22|Page=462}} with the [[Children of Oth Sonin]] providing the Banished with the shipyards under their control in exchange for decimating Lydus' most dangerous rivals {{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p255|Enc22|Page=255}}. The Banished are also known to use their own variant of [[Banished Drone|UAV]] to repair their outposts during the [[Second Ark Conflict]] and modify the {{Pattern|Emp'seam|Antlion}} to fire spikes instead of plasma. The Banished are capable of using their own portable shield, which is hexagonal-shaped with trapezoids making up the shielding and be active or not active at the user's request.
