With more and more Ancient outposts reawakening, my associates urged me to return to Site 1 and find out more about the guardian units we encountered on Azruias. most of what I found so far was not particularily noteworthy, but deep within the site's data cores, I found some more information on the "skirmisher" class Units that we encountered. Contrary to what we saw on Azurias, the Battle Lords don't seem to be the top of the skirmishers' hierarchy. I found records pointing to the existence of rare "Queen" Units, that command squadrons of guardian robots up to even entire temple worlds.
Due to how rare these "Queens" seem to be, I could not find much on their typical armament. What I could find suggests that they carry around many of the same weapons we've seen on other Skirmishers, but there's also been mention of "Inferno cannons". I assume this refers to the same weapon system we've seen on the "enforcer" trooper during the later stages of the Azurias campaign: a multi-missile launch system, specifically designed to vaporize any organic matter it hits.
With these Units still being classified as Skirmishers, it is safe to say that they are also accompanied by Orbiter sentries to shield and repair them - though I couldn't find anything implying an elite version of Orbiters to be a thing. So hopefully those are still the annoying but fragile flyers that we've seen on Azurias.
One final note: if these units function the same as Skirmishers, their weapons are most likely designed to be used by their troopers as well. So should one of the queens be defeated, I suggest taking their inferno cannons before other ancient units can get to them.
I will keep studying the Site on AS-236 and compile a full report on the ancients and their defenses in the near future.
