Simulations of combat within the outer reaches of Tau Ceti are only a few of the scenarios simulated in preparation for the Endwar.

Unbound of any type: (RGB 130, 150, 20)

(RGB 130, 150, 20)

Bound Warriors: (RGB 50,160, 50)

Bound Workers: (RGB 20, 170, 20)

Seeing the stark technological disadvantage of the hives over Lii'dra,Ta’Akaix’Vedhra’rept’ylanze was birth with a singular goal in mind, preparation for war with the Lii'dra.There are various ways the brood goes about this, one of which being a large scale attempt to be biologically superior to Lii'dra specimens. This has caused the brood to be a particular advocate within the K'lax for biological manipulation and augmentation. Genetics tampering is also not unheard of, but generally less commonly looked into. Vedhra takes time to inspect the tools and weapons of other cultures in an attempt to create a force capable of dealing with whatever the Lii'dra can throw at them. Her Za are generally more comfortable with the weapons of other cultures, especially those of Unathi origin.

The worker caste of Vedhra's brood are generally used as weapon-smiths, biomechanical engineers, and scientists. The weapon-smiths take pieces of various other culture's weapons and meld them together, to effectively make the differences between them moot. The engineers and scientists try to meld together parts of other species in an effort to make a superior organism, as well as manufacturing new augments to be applied to both Unbound and Bound. Vedhra's brood tend to be the most heavily augmented of the K'lax, which is sometimes much to the distaste of the Hegemony, though this does allow for more efficiency and reliability. This also makes Vedhra's brood one of the most costly broods to maintain efficiently. Augments range from simple prosthetics to eye augments and even extra limbs mounted with weapons. The Unbound, although still significantly less augmented than the bound, usually have more augments than those of other broods. Though they tend to be internal, such as artificial organs.

Part of these developments also includes ironing out weaknesses with current technology. The main one currently being the use of Electromagnetic Pulses (EMP). These are incredibly dangerous to those in Vedhra's brood due to their often heavily augmented nature. EMP blasts could fully disable or even outright kill the most augmented bound and unbound alike. Multiple other weaknesses are being worked on, such as the sometimes unreliable nature of prosthetic organs.

Vedhra's brood also causes quite a bit of controversy within the Hegemony, as various groups have different stances on mass augmentation and prosthetics. Sk'akh Unathi abhor the idea, and often speak out against it, whereas Aut'akh tend to be incredibly receptive and friendly towards the brood.
