Acreage boasts a strong military culture, leading to regular tithes of men to the [[Imperial Guard]] and several unique patterns of weapons and armour. This includes [[Lightning Chain|Lightning Chains]] and [[Lightning Gauntlets]], weapons that take advantage of a unique alloy found only on Acreage, which stores kinetic energy and discharges it in the form of blue, electrical sparks when swung with sufficient force. These, along with more common medieval and black powder weapons make up the majority of weaponry on Acreage, though some off-worlders and more elite guardsmen, like Olrankan's Plumes have access to better solid projectiles and flak armour.{{Fn|3a}}
Acreage styles of armour tends be primitive. Most notably the planet is known for producing bucklers with small metal spikes lining the rim, to turn the shields into deadly throwing weapons and '''Silkmail'''. Silkmail is a fine chainmail renowned for its light weight and comfort, being commonly purchased by nobles and off-world collectors.{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|3b}}
