Destroyer technology was amazing. It was not without reason why the Terrans regarded it as one of their trump cards.
The Rubarthans had wasted far too many resources and manpower in their futile attempts to crack the source of pride of their archrivals.
The fact that none of these attempts had succeeded over the centuries was a testament to the excellence and the extraordinary nature of Destroyer weapons!
Naturally, General Axelar Streon had fallen in love with these extraordinary weapons. There was little reason for him to switch to other weapon types even if they possessed their own set of advantages.
The main reason why the Ouroboros had always been paired with a Destroyer sword as its melee armament was because it synergized well with its domain!
Destroyer technology was able to evoke the power of destruction in a much purer manner than other forms of weapon tech.
