Intent: Start Hansol Mining Corporation's beginning into the manufacturing market, and build a strong mining walker for large strains of ore that would take much longer otherwise.
Development Thread: If necessary
Manufacturer: Hansol Mining Company
Model: HMC Heavy Mining Walker Mk. I
Affiliation: Hansol Mining Corporation; open market
Modularity: Yes, each jointed piece is modular, upper arm, lower arm, upper leg, etc.
Production: Mass produced
Material: Dirasteel
Role: Heavy mining walker
Height: 10m
Length: 3.5m
Width: 8m
Weight: 20 tones
Minimum Crew: 1pilot
Optimal Crew: 1pilot
Propulsion: Comes bipedal
Top Speed: 12km/h; 25km/h with tread attachment
Armaments: None, all attachments have no weapons, and are not easily modified
Squadron Count: 5
Passenger Capacity: 0
Cargo Capacity: 2 tones max load, 3x7x7 bucket attachment to back optional
Misc. Equipment: Right arm drill, left arm hand, two bipedal legs
Strengths:
Maneuverable: The pilot has a neural interface device that lets him control the walker through his thoughts allowing for very fine movements of the walker (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neural_interface_device)
Modularity: With an easy to remove joint system it is easy to outfit a walker to any required mining circumstance
Weaknesses:
Weak Joints: While it is highly modular the joints themselves are weak, they have some protection but any direct hit could easily do damage to it, cutting off power to the following module or making it so that it cannot move.
Not for Battle: There are no available modules for weapons, and if fired upon, would be ripped apart by any concentrated fire; it can take hits from rocks, not blasters
Not Good for your Mental Health: While the neural technology used has been refined and thus not impossible to use, after about 5 hours it can be mentally exhausting to use.
Description: Galven Hansol noticed that many of his expenses were the buying of entire walkers because the ones he currently had couldn't do a specific job. He disliked how he would pay for them and then they would be put into storage and never used again. So he hired a team of engineers to create a new walker designed specifically to be multi use. The result was a large, strong walker that, with a direct pilot to walker connection, is able to maneuver into any situation quickly as no reprogramming is needed.
