Mecha

Overview

The Mecha are a mechanical lifeform synced with the General class. Their buildings accelerate ship construction and deuterium production; their research covers General Overhauls for all major combat ships, fleet-wide speed, fuel efficiency, and recycler performance. Mechan General Enhancement amplifies General class bonuses with each level.
