Their space ships were able to move in coordination like amorphous ripples across magnetic fields and the Admiral and their captain were connected through the Darkness to react as one entity, allowing them to draw dozens of their fleet units together, direct them into formations and coordinate battle strategies between the captain's subcommands the the drone's activities. As a result, when a ship was destroyed, the emotions of despair, terror and grief of those inside were shared among the rest of the units<ref name=dynasty/>. | ||
Their fighting space ships were called "War-pealrs" and were shaped like sleek horizontal teardrop that made them nearly invisible against surrounding space. They had sleek hull plates that coulld part to release dozens of drones-technology like weapons, shielding and utilities, to move around each ship and form into tight-knit squadrons. They were also equipped with fusion batteries strong enough to disintegrate Hive [[Tombship]]s and their drones could chain power between ships and flow fusion energy through them to fire a powerful unified beam as a last resort tactic<ref name=dynasty/>. In addition, to move their ships from one star system to another, the Qugu used a system of Gates that folded space and transported them almost instantaneously<ref name=dynasty/>.

When he reported this in the [[Books of Sorrow]], he omitted any mention of the Qugu using the Darkness, likely at the behest of the [[The Witness|Witness]]'s interest of presenting itself as the only voice and form of the Darkness.
