Planet-Scouring, Seismic Imaging and Resource Collection Craft - Factory Approved

[Corey's OOC]

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.

[Corey's OOC]

Intent: To provide the Confederacy of Independent Systems with a a uniquely destructive unit to be used on a variety of battlefields
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Haor Chall Engineering
Model: Combat-Rated Seismic Tank
Affiliation: Confederacy of Independent Systems
Modularity: Yes (Depending on the field of battle)
Production: Limited
Material: Durasteel frame and chassis, transparisteel portholes

Description: These behemoths were initially created as a joint project from Haor Chall and Arakyd Industries to provide the galaxy with a large, long term resource hunting, collection and mapping vessel. When the Confederacy of Independent Systems High Council caught wind of this vessel, it echoed a unit unseen since the initial Clone Wars at the fall of the Old Republic. Seen as a vessel with military application for disrupting supply lines and enemy logistics; including but not limited to food stores, manufacturing locations or enemy encampments, a military variant was pushed into limited production.

Hollowed out and most of its science-centric systems removed, the Seismic Tank doubles as an armored personnel carrier while still providing ample destructive capabilities. The system is still not perfect, as the engineers at Haor Chall provided it with heavy armor, but only particle shields. The choice of shields is to protect the vessel from her own seismic driver, which is known to create impressive shockwaves, as well as throwing planetary matter into the air, and out from the driver. This is rounded out by the mounting of four quad laser cannons to provide support against incoming bogeys. The best way to deploy one of these units is with smaller, faster moving units to cover its weak spots.

As the cargo capacity is severely lessened, the Seismic Tank can carry up to 300 battle droids, or approximately 154 standard soldiers, with the attached officers. In dire situations, these vehicles can carry and deploy a standard Dread Guard unit.
