This is a list of various weapons, items and entities that appear within the Megastructure during the course of the 10-volume manga as well as the single volume of Noise.

An attempt has been made to notate the volume and page where an entry can be found along with a basic description of the item, its capabilities, and how it has appeared.

This list will be constantly changing as it is updated.

Safeguard Weapons

Safeguard weapons are of some of the best quality and highest power in the Megastructure. They will only work in the proximity of Safeguards or Silicon Life.

Safeguard Pistol(v8p15): Semi-automatic pistol. Fires explosive bullets.
Safeguard Grenade Launcher (v8p15): Very different from contemporary grenade launchers in that it fires the explosive projectiles at subsonic speeds.
Safeguard Shotgun (fires hundreds of pellets, long range, unlike conventional shotguns. Used by Killy against Pcell in V8)
Dhomochevsky's Gun: Fully automatic, fires guided explosive projectiles up to 4 at a time and contains a laser. It must be loaded manually like a revolver and also ejects casings.
Safeguard Sword (v10p68): This blade projects a cutting field well beyond melee range and will shear through nearly anything with a stroke.
Gravitational Beam Emitter [1]: "Class 1 Critical Effect Weapon" can be charged up through 4 levels of power however variants exist that have lesser or no charge-up ability. It is powered by the bio-electricity of the user and the kick back when fired is massive. One of the most powerful weapons known to the Megastructure, it leaves holes that are 70km long.

Safeguard Armor

Factions and Races

Safeguard: An artificially intelligent defensive protocol that guards the Netsphere. Technologically advanced, autonomous and pitiless, they attack any unregistered entities that threaten to damage the Megastructure or access the Netsphere illegally.

Governing Authority: An intelligent force that governs the Netsphere, it has no control over its conjoined faction, the Safeguard. They seem to possess little power over the chaotic world.

Silicon Life: A cybernetic race that evolved from criminals (The Order) who assaulted the Netsphere in ancient days and brought about the current chaos. Their mission is to destroy the net terminal gene and perpetuate the chaos.

The Builders: Mechanical constructs of varying size and appearance that are responsible for the building and maintenance of the Megastructure. Smaller builders appear to be sapient, verbally communicating with other entities and even capable of lying while larger ones can drill through megastructure using mounted GBEs.

Techno-Nomads: A small group of humans in who fight against the Watchers. Ignorant of other levels and the Netsphere, they struggle to live alongside the menace of a nearby Watcher hive. While armed and equipped with powersuits, they are no match for the Watchers.

Watchers (Mysterious race of insectile flying bipeds. Can emit destructive forces from their compound eye that may be gravitational in nature. They come from an immense hive-like organic structure.

The Capitol: A corporate-city of humans that occupy an abandoned level of the Megastructure. It seems made up of a poor working class dominated by the corporate elite who rule in a totalitarian style. The leader of the city is the President, a gigantic mutant.

Dry Men: Clones that have formed a primitive tribal society. They appear warlike, carrying the skulls of their enemy on their belts and wielding twisted spear-like weapons. Dry Men have great strength and possess mystic-appearing abilities such as vanishing in a cloud of smoke. They are extremely fast, agile and strong. Preyed on for their bodies and organs by the Electric Life Corporation.

Electrosilos Fishermen: A dwarf-like colony of humans who live outside Toha Heavy Industries. Descended from the human workers of THI, they now eke an existence within the megastructure and fight against SG and SL with ancient weapons and armor.

Toha Heavy Industries: An ancient corporation, the only known remnants of being a massive starship within the Megastructure. Ruled by sapient AIs.

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: (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.

Governing Authority

The Governing Authority has little ability to manifest itself in the physical world.

Proxy Organism (used in v2 to communicate with Killy. Later downloaded additional offensive ability to combat a Safeguard. Also appears in v6)
Giant Humanoid (two kinds are shown in V3, both mortally wounded as a result of defending humans from Safeguard)

Advanced Future Cyborg: A highly advanced cyborg that is constantly evolving. It's primary weapon is a strange set of cylinders mounted on its back that allows it to explode without harming itself but doing devastating damage to anyone within the blast radius. Apparently it can draw mass directly from its surroundings in order to improve or heal itself.
Valdunba: A hapless cyborg who gets interrogated by Cibo. No distinctive features.

Aerial Vehicle (v9p138): This bio-mechanical vehicle is capable of hovering and flying at high speeds with its mass of prehensile tentacles that double as wings. It fires some sort of rapid-fire energy projectile.
Observer: This SL seems more content to observe and research than fight. Clearly not built for battle.
Silicon Knights (v10p64): These heavily armed and armored cyborgs are equipped with safeguard swords and tower shields. Their leader wears a skull mask.

She is capable of teleporting and affecting objects in the base reality with 'magnetic restraint lines'.
