The Aggressor's energy shield is their primary defense mechanism. Once taken down, it is susceptible to small-arms fire. When an Aggressor has been damaged beyond repair, it explodes violently and releases a powerful [[electromagnetic pulse]], a tactical last resort that disables all nearby electronics.{{Ref/Reuse|SI}}{{Ref/Reuse|QZ}} If all other members of a swarm of Aggressors have been destroyed, the last remaining Aggressors have, on occasion, been observed to overload their core while attempting to ram nearby belligerents.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} | The Aggressor's energy shield is their primary defense mechanism.
