Each pyramid contains a fleet of "scales", hexagonal prisms, with daggerlike points orbiting about it. These dagger points are apparently semi-autonomous and will react as either a unit or individually, by either physically swarming the target or attacking from afar. The "scales" are known to the Hierarchy as autowars, and range from a few dozen to a hundred meters. They are made from the same substance as their larger brethren and are equipped with similar weapons. | Each pyramid contains a fleet of "scales", hexagonal prisms, with daggerlike points orbiting about it.

Inside the larger pyramids are endless halls and chambers intended for human habitation, illuminated by golden lights amid deep shadows. Each pyramidal "side" faces inwards towards the center; gravity consistently maintains a recognizable up and down until one reaches the boundary between sides, at which point the perspective changes, and the inner ear struggles to maintain balance. At the center of each pyramid, where upon an ordinary vessel would be a fusion reactor, is a large spherical chamber with four "entrances" leading into it. Upon a dais is a veiled statue with folded wings of sinuous membrane and feather, and surrounding it are smaller effigies of indistinct creatures. Before The Guardian's corruption these halls remained empty; afterward, they teem with the armies of Darkness. | Inside the larger pyramids are endless halls and chambers intended for human habitation, illuminated by golden lights amid deep shadows.
