Like most all races, the Machina see themselves as the creators of their own destiny, but their technological know-how and engineering disposition allows this idea to unfold in an uncanny fashion, with each individual creating their own weapons, vehicles, equipment, and anything else they need or desire. However, while this amount of inconceivable diversity generates awe among other races, a con of the process is that exact replacements can only be fashioned by either the original creator or one of the cyborgs best machinists. Therefore, in regards to the standing military and particularly during times of war, the Federation calls on the largest workshops within the Lineages to create standardized and easily modifiable equipment for the armed forces.
