Intent: To provide the Techno Union with a publically available resource locating and gathering unit.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Haor Chall Engineering/Arakyd Industries (Systems)
Model: Planet-Scouring, Seismic Imaging and Resource Collection Craft
Affiliation: Public
Modularity: Yes (Depending on the resource being gathered)
Production: Major
Material: Durasteel frame and chassis, transparisteel portholes

Description: Created by Haor Chall Engineering to provide bidders with a repulsor vehicle that can survive a variety of harsh environments all the while being able to scan for resources, the Collection Craft it’s a unique role to assist a variety of companies and planetary systems with resource location. The repulsorlfit allows the Craft to hover up to 25 meters above the planetary surface. Utilizing a variety of gravity, magnetic, and seismic survey equipment, as well as a system for SONAR pinging, the Collection craft is able to locate a variety of resources deep within a planet or asteroid.

Due to the nature of resource location, this vehicle is produced to be converted very simply for a variety of tasks. All units are able to be converted from atmospheric, to deep space or deep sea operations with the touch of a button. The entire system can be locked down, and with the help of a series of airlocks, sentients and droids can be deployed outside of the craft for repairs, or visual confirmation of the resources being located.


While slow moving, if deployed correctly, a dozen of these vessels could scan and map the entire sea-floor of an average planet (read: Earth) within 6 months.

@[member="Marek Starchaser"] - This is a good solid attempt to take a very unusual canon vehicle and derive something from it that's been fleshed out more. Based on viewing the episode in question, I have no problem with your crew count or the concept. However, if I see anyone attempt to use this to instakill a player character without possibility of getting out of the way, it will be retroactively denied immediately. Fair enough?
Approved pending secondary.

Thank you!

The intention of the sub is not to create a way to insta-kill and this rule will be followed.

Approved with what @[member="Boolon Murr"] said in mind.
