Harvester

General Information

The Harvester has a trap door in its base and is equipped with lifting gear to haul up cattle or other beasts. Laser cutters are used to extract the desired material and the carcass is dumped on the ground. There are also storage containers for body parts.

The Harvester is usually operated by Floaters, with occasional Snakeman joyrides.

Battle Notes

The Harvester, or "Winchester Mansion of the Stars," is widely accepted as proof that concept of "lowest bidder" is known and feared throughout the galaxy. The internal layout is confusing at best, bordering on schizophrenic. The craft has more grav-lift wells than it has floors. The southern entryway is completely isolated from the rest of that floor, requiring one to ascend to the first floor then back down to move between them. On the second floor, there is a door that opens to nothing but the floor below. On the third floor is a bridge larger than the command chamber of the Battleship.

• If you have heavy plasma here, use it to make some new doors-- particularly on the ground floor, where you may want an access point between the southern lift chamber and the rest of that deck.
• Flying units may want to use the deadfall door above the harvesting chamber to access the first floor.
• Keep in mind that floaters (and Ethereals, if you catch them slumming in this ship) can use that deadfall door without trouble.
