Maximus performed much research in his time. One project was of a stealth ship. He was trying to develop a ship that could absorb all forms of radar, as well as contain its emissions while steath systems were engaged. He was also looking into fighting warp entities. He knew that people that successfully emerged from daemonic possesion became invisible in the warp, and were more resistant to warp attacks. Maximus began research on an improved gene-seed, one that didn't kill the host nearly as much, and perhaps one that could be given to women as well, in order to broaden his recruitment range. He started from scratch on the gene-seed, building it from the ground up. Another avenue of research he was pursuing was a method of controlling hive mind creatures. When his legion first encountered small forces of tyranids, they ate the synapse creatures, this revealled to them an impending invasion of massive amounts of tyranids. Maximus began working on a way to either jam hive control, or to give control to humans.

None of Maximus' research was ever finished as the hard-drive he had with him when he vanished, contained the only copies of his research notes.
