Xenons are able to destroy Defend stations. And they can build their DefStation in the sector BUT!mr.WHO wrote: ↑Fri, 16.

Apr 21, 08:26From what I've seen in this playthrough, the Xenon do not defend their owned sectors with anything more than a token force. I get that a lot of people might not want a hyper aggressive Xenon in the game, but when an owned sector is being attacked that's the time to get aggressive. They had plenty of miners and power distribution units in that sector at one time, I just think it would have made sense for them to start building some capital ships as soon as stations started going up in their territory. Then again, maybe I just missed those fights and they simply got wiped out in OOS combat.
Xenons are not able to destroy any factory. That is why some times some players have situation when sector full of factories but sector doesn't have the owner.
That is why on the Map it looks like Xenons did something but they don't for real And they are not able to do it. Everything because of L Beam.
You can check by yourself or just check the videos below (unfortunately how I understand devs don't want to touch(fix) turrets that is why I don't know when it will be fixed)
https://youtu.be/opxQhIE0qUg. (DefStation and Factory under attack of XEN Ks) - this is explanation why XEN some times can change colour of sector.
https://youtu.be/X4AUjlMnJRc. (2 factories under attack of 2 XEN Ks) - it shows why XEN are not able to take any sector for real.
