==Safeguard Units==
''Safeguard are often transmitted via Matter Conversion Towers to directly address percieved threats to the Netsphere.  However many seem capable of roaming a level and occupying locations over an extended period.''

*Exterminator: The basic quick-response assault unit of the Safeguard.  Often deployed through Structure Conversion Towers directly to a threat in large numbers.  Exclusively melee, extremely agile and capable of standing bipedally.  In extreme cases, Exterminators can show basic intelligence (such as the one that cobbles itself together after being badly damaged in v6) though they usually tend to behave in a very direct manner.  Unlikely of being capable of independent thought and receives directives straight from the Safeguard.

*Giant Exterminator (Transmission Entity): (v2p201) A large humanoid entity that possesses 4 powerful clawed arms and massive strength.  Its lower body is fused to a surface, extended by an articulated snake-like lower torso.

*Watchman: (v10p43) A type of Exterminator judging on superficial features, this safeguard is massive and quick.  In one form, it runs on all fours using its claws and mouth to attack.  However it can transform into a 50' tall humanoid with a nanite-formed protective mantle and cowl.  It possesses the ability to fire energy bursts from its hand, bearing emitters on three of its fingers.

*Exterminator First Class: (v10p136) An extremely high level safeguard, the 1st Class resembles a standard Exterminator, however it stands nearly 20' tall upright and possesses an energy core which is its only true weak point.  Its abilities are many and dangerous, it can levitate, fabricate matter (including transparent structures around threats which completely disable them), has what appear to be telekinetic powers and can launch high-level gravitational beams from its core.  Additionally any damage done to it can be repaired rapidly.  A Lv4 GBE shot to the core, point blank is sufficient to destroy it.

*Level 6: Capable of independent thought, Lv6 agents are intelligent, cunning and deadly.  Equipped with an arm-mounted GBE and a type of energy shield in their hand, they're capable of issuing and defending against GBE shots.  A hand-mounted dart launcher can infect lifeforms with safeguard data, transforming them into Exterminators.  Additionally Lv6 safeguards have a body with flexible composition that can be recombined into different shapes such as growing wings, disguising themselves as human children or quickly healing structural damage.

*Level 9: The highest level of Safeguard, it takes quite some time to download into its environment, forming a cocoon as it gestates within.  Once it deploys (hatches) it is supposedly nearly unstoppable though it can still receive damage from conventional weapons.  It has an extremely powerful regeneration ability and can even heal other entities via a strange projectile.  The Lv9 can transform its arms into some type of destructive ranged weapon.  The crowning feature of the Lv9 is its ability to project a massive area of devastation through some type of energy halo.  This ability is unparalleled in destructive capacity compared to all other known weapons in the Megastructure.
