What technology Vespids have created for themselves is unclear because of the large cultural exchange that has come about as part of their induction into the [[Tau|Tau Empire]]. From the Tau they have gained armor and weaponry, and a ''Communion Helm'' that enables them to more freely communicate with other races (as their own language is extremely complex and for the most part inimitable) It is rumored that the "Communion Helm" serves to pacify the Strain Leader into compliance with the Tau, although this claim has never been substantiated. Their weapons are a mixture of Tau technology and Vespid resources enables them to act as specialist against heavily armored troops (specifically the Space Marines, whom the Tau have always had problems fighting against).
The [[Neutron Blaster]] which the Vespid Stingwings carry, is a unique blending of [[Tau]] technology and the unstable radioactive crystals that the Vespid mine from the lower chambers of the larger rock formations in which they live. The energy harnessed from the crystal allows the weapon to strip atoms off of the target. Due to the Vespid's wings creating different harmonic resonances within the crystal, they are the only creatures able to effectively wield the Neutron Blaster.
