Well, we know the Mazed Band can summon Fabricants engineered by Sotha Sil, and it allows you to teleport to Vivec, Mournhold, and the Clockwork City, and that's just what you can do ingame without any idea whatsoever what you're doing with it. The Clockwork City might have survived all the horrible horrible things that happened to Morrowind, though probably was heavily damaged considering it was leaky and old and inaccessible without the Mazed Band even during Tribunal. Considering it was already damaged and we may only have been shown a small part due to what was going on, but if the Mazed Band was recovered, the Thalmor might have been able to reclaim some stuff from the Clockwork City.

Maybe the Thalmor could have rediscovered Sotha Sil's fabricant building machines using the Mazed Band's teleporting abilities and reverse-engineered them to build Thalmor-loyal swarms? Or they found the nonfunctional Imperfect we saw in the Clockwork City sitting around in the quite literal ashes of Morrowind, and used it to build a bunch of centurion-like machines?
