Their Strike Cruiser is also faster than any other ship, packs a better selection of weapons, most notably its Motion Cannon which does at least ten times as much damage as any other weapon in the game and hits everything in front of it on 4+, and ignores armor, meaning you can count the number of ships in the game that can survive a hit from it one hand, and it can fire every three turns, unlike other [[WaveMotionGun guns like]] which can only be fired once, and that doesn't even get all of its special rules. Interestingly, the majority of the scenarios presented in-game are actually ones where the Legion can't bring all this amazing firepower to bear, as many of them are covert operations, rescue missions, sabotage operations, etc. The general rule of thumb is that when you need to deploy Legion power armor, Frames, or a Strike Cruiser, its because things have gotten ''really, '''really''' bad''. Indeed, some mission types are the ones where firepower would be useless; for example, finding a cure for a plague on a Republic world.

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans / DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: The Empress claims everything she does, killing billions of people she refers to as her "children", assassinating any perceived deviants, waging a genocidal war, is all for the good of humanity. Not surprisingly, a portion of the Imperium hoping to overthrow her sees her aim as the latter of the two tropes.

** Guardians, the Imperium lost every ship they ever sent against the Guardian worlds so they just plain order their fleets to stay away from them.
** Inations, who described as having the most dangerous fleets ever encountered by the Imperium and they aren't even sure if there's a solid way of beating them.
** Veraxins, who the Imperium decides to sacrifice the hive worlds they are attacking due to a lack of manpower in the area, and the icon summary notes that fighting them doesn't have much chance of success.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The Empress of Man has a knack for literally creating her enemies. The Gens she created to fight her enemies nearly wiped out her Imperium, and her efforts to wipe them out in the present setting means fighting them and the Republic, giving both of them a common enemy.
