The Stellar Empire rarely engages in large-scale ground combat. Their preferred method of conquest is diplomacy and terror tactics, carried out by cheap, disposable troops. The next step of escalation is massed use of bioweapons like Chryssalids. However, when Star Gods do find it necessary to fight ground battles, they deploy heavily cyborgized and armored contingents, formed from the elites of their servant races. A System Governor must authorize such deployment with the higher Star God orders.
