Ground and Air Vehicles

On the rare occasions when the Dominion needs to commit to a minimum collateral ground invasion, without risking their limited supply of human infantrymen, their small but deadly repertoire of ground and air vehicles are brought out.

The most common and widespread ground vehicle. The Dombot is an 8 meter tall, red matter plated humanoid mech.
It has an upscaled version of the standard rifle mounted to one of its arms, which is able to fire at anything in visual range and melt massive holes into the earth on its medium setting. And the other arm packs a fabrication unit: an amalgamation of nanomachine sprayers and a transmutation circle. Which can rapidly construct and deconstruct practically anything imaginable.
Its tertiary armament consists of shoulder mounted rocket pods that typically fire downscaled thermonuclear micromissile armaments, these allow for long range engagements and attacking vessels in orbit.
Dombots also have a thruster system, similar to that of battlesuits that allows for sustained flight at sub mach speeds. This allows them to traverse any terrain and hover if necessary.
Unfortunately, due to their emphasis on mobility and versatility, Dombots are lacking in defense, they only have a single layer of force shielding.
This sacrifice however, allows them to operate at a slight energy excess when they aren't using their fabrication arm, this allows them to contribute to the energy network and slowly compound the energy profits to transmute more, leading to a snowball effect without even needing to harvest mass energy from their surroundings.

Usually produced via Dombots or small scale mass fabricators produced by Dombots, once they've established a foothold and need a more efficient combat unit.
Unlike the Dombot, the Brobblock is a large tracked vehicle, around 12 meters in length and sporting a massive gun. The gun is a downscaled ballistic autocannon, the one found on ships. It has a 2 meter bore and a 200 RPM fire rate.
Unlike the ship mounted version, the Brobblock's gun does not fire super-relativistic projectiles, instead opting to fire at anything from 1% to 40% of light speed, depending on how much collateral is acceptable. Shell types vary considerably.
In addition to the central cannon, the Brobblock has four infantry scale DSI turrets and double the quantity of missile pods the Dombot has.
The most defining feature other than the cannon however, is the defense. The Brobblock sacrifices degrees of freedom and fabrication capabilities to have a quadruple layered force shield, a 25 meter in diameter gap shield that can be used to protect nearby units and an entire meter of red matter plating.

The Aerial is a small and fast plane that can travel at sustained speeds of 10000~ mach- it does not require an atmosphere to fly. It is designed to be as cheap to produce as possible and has paper thin armour and no shielding.
It has two fabrication units and four rapid fire DSI laser units that fire at medium power only. It also has a bay to transmute large warheads to be dropped, allowing to to fulfil the role of a bomber as necessary.
The Aerial is very fragile and primarily designed as a long range harassment and fabrication unit, being able to very rapidly reach any part of a planet and start fabricating Dombots to establish a foothold.
It can rush and bomb fortified positions if necessary and when massed can be used as an air superiority fighter, although the limited gimbal of the laser weapons and its vulnerability means this role is best left to missiles.
A single Dombot can produce many Aerials if necessary, and these planes will often be found in huge swarms.
