A bit of retroactive continuity-patching...
Gyran space-swarm robots are equipped with magnetic repulsors that allow them to drop with minimal resistance through shields. At this point it is usually in the ship's best interest to pull its shields back in and allow Meks and skimmers to destroy the parasites. More and more of recent starship designs are coming with weapons that actually fire within the confines of the shield, making them worthless in ship-to-ship combat but allowing them to damage or destroy boarding units. Ships with such weapons are more difficult for Gyran to capture than older models, but a dense enough swarm will often disable these anti-'bot weapons before continuing to board, with minimal casualties.
