- Equipped with state of the art mining equipment, including a molecular furnace, to make for general ease in clearing a landscape of potential hazardous objects or terrain.
- Equipped with a variety of shielding options for defense against most every source of elemental damage.
- Equipped with a primary and two secondary fusion reactors; one secondary dedicated to the tendrils and their mining lasers.
- Lined extensively with silver mesh carbon nanotubing and dallorian cooling pipes for maximum energy and heat dispersal.
- Built with the use of two separate droid brains for separate operation of both the tendrils and body mining equipment that synchronize with one another for maximum efficiency.
- Advanced, reinforced hydraulics for durable application of movement for central mass.
- Gabonna Memory Crystals inlaid within droid brain housings to reinforce synchronization of both brains.
- Gargantuan: Unlike other droids created by Krovane Corporation, the Excavator is by far the largest. As such it possesses armor capabilities that withstand measures of abrasion and assualt that smaller droids could not potentially fathom.
- Matter Conversion: Built with three fusion reactors the Excavator is built to run for extensive periods of time without requiring a recharge. This is effectively made unlimited by the use of a molecular furnace which converts matter ingested from the Excavators endeavors into nuclear fusion fuel for said reactors.
- The primary reactor is used to power the main body while the first secondary reactor was dedicated to the operation of the Excavators tendrils and their mining lasers. The third was redundant and used as a back up reserve.
- Electromagnetic Resilience: Built with an Ion Shield as well as an extensive level of faraday meshing and ray shielding around key components, the Excavator has little difficulty shrugging off electromagnetic and ion interference that would otherwise shut down, or render completely useless, other droids.
- Radiation Load: Due to the Excavators use of Fusion Reactors as well as Agrinium coating it sports a higher than average resistance to radiation to compensate for the level of radiation that it uses as a fuel source.
- World Traverser: In tandem with it's electromagnetic resilience, the Excavator possesses a high level of environmental countermeasures to prolong it's stay on a planets surface; no matter how toxic or chaotic the world may be.
- Double the Brain Power: Implementing two separate droid brains enhanced by the usage of Gabonna Memory Crystals, the Excavator can efficiently operate both it's main body utilities and tendril utilities without sacrificing any data processing or calibration analysis.
- Killswitch: The Excavator, due to it's size and potential volatility should it fall into the wrong hands, comes equipped with an inbuilt and programmed killswitch that can be operated by Lady Krovane should the need arise.
- Spotless: Upon first glance the Excavator possesses no visible weaknesses of the traditional variety.
- Gargantuan: While the Excavator is big, and equally durable, this does not mean that it can hide. In fact it is so large that hiding it is, quite literally, impossible.
- Weight Risk: Due to it's massive size and weight, the Excavator cannot be lifted from a planets surface without the aid of either an immensely large craft or multiple moderate size ships; either a star destroyer, cruiser or a pair of frigates. This risk also entails that should the Excavator fall into some kind of geographic anomaly there is a chance it could not be recovered due to it's immense weight.
- Small Intruders: While the Excavator is designed with the intention of being entirely focused on terraforming there is still the risk that outsiders would be interested in trying to steal it or rig it for combat purposes. That said, the Excavator is not equipped to deal with intrusions of the terrestrial size such as humanoids or other aliens trying to get inside it and rewire it.
- Reactor Failure: Should any two of the reactors fail in the usage of the Excavator it will cease to operate either efficiently or at all. In such a case it would require extraction for the reactors to either be repaired or replaced.
- As an additional note: Should any reactor suffer enough damage that it is compromised and forced to a potential meltdown the entire Excavator could be destroyed.
- Killswitch: The Excavator, due to it's size and potential volatility should it fall into the wrong hands, comes equipped with an inbuilt and programmed killswitch that can be operated by Lady Krovane should the need arise.
Krovane Corporation had spent tireless hours and immeasure amounts of funds putting forward their best foot in the area of helping the galaxy. First with the Ranger, then the Coarser and finally with the Predator; each with their own particular purpose in the companies intention to make worlds that were otherwise considered to be uninhabitable (or of limited habitability) the exact opposite.
Of course, while those projects proved to be of a sound and effective attitude, there was still another element missing from the grander equation. The means to till the terrain on which those select droids could not operate without the means of completely altering it with greater force. The Predator was equipped with the means to till soil, but it did not possess nearly the capacity that was needed to make entire wastelands able to be seeded in a manner befitting the goals of the Krovane Corp science devision.
As such the science division, under the encouragement of company operator Lady Krovane, set forth in designing another project of an immense design. One that would serve as a uniquely powerful tool in terraforming select planet's surfaces in the direction of the needs of the Krovane Corporation.
And what did their idea birth? The Excavator Terrain Alteration Droid.
A droid gargantuan in size and capability equipped with the mining equipment needed to alter entire expanses of terrain in a matter of hours. It was an ambitious endeavor, but one that would prove extremely fruitful were it to be a success.
