Cyberformers

Cyberformers are large structures used to convert planetside surfaces into metal structures, often Imperialite or Keplerium. They are commonly used as civilian assets, but can also serve a military purpose in the creation of weaponized Planetoids.

Capabilities
Cyberformers are able to manipulate chemicals and atomic structures of entire planetside regions using large arrays of Molecular Reconstructors and Replicators, with the range depending on the size and tech within the cyberformer itself. They can simply convert existing surfaces into the desired metal, level the surface in the process, or create entire structures and complexes as they cyberform, even amounting to creating entirely new celestial bodies. The latter can only be done effectively by the most advanced cyberformers available, such as those used by the Government, Intergalactic Empire, and Titanians. Of course, any complexes created are just empty shells, and must be filled with power grids and finer pieces of technology, although some cyberformers are then made a permanent part of a planetary surface, often becoming the needed power grid themselves, albeit with some heavy modifications. While some must be constructed on the surface of a planet, others can be deployed from cruisers and remain in the air as they cyberform. Each use exhausts all the cyberformer's power. Although cyberformers are not usually equipped with weaponry, they are heavily armored, and can be easily fitted with cannons and Point-Defense weaponry. Cyberformers can only create what can be replicated, and can thus not create metals such as Uux, and can only cyberform as much area as their power and available resources allows.

Background
Cyberformers were first developed by the Titanians, and could be used to create entirely new planets. Imperial models were the standard for eons following their formation, although cyberformers became more advanced during the time after the Trans-Galactic War, when they were also prominently used for civilian purposes. Cyberformers, when coupled with weather control systems and other terraforming technology, could make even the most barren, hostile, or rogue world into a functional, life-supporting planet.
