This topic is a child of the Harvester Drones article directory.
FRANKY!
The title of "harvester drones" was first coined by the Space Loonies in 916 OSC, by Captain Sazo'Kaised nes'ara Gorgon Kiss. The name was settled upon after records aboard Unity Station concerning their original title were found to be irrecoverably corrupted. The moniker was meant to be as literal and communicative as possible. Most harvesters are automated service drones or combat drones, controlled directly by an artificial intelligence. Their core functionality is intended, regardless of model, to serve their group by collecting or securing additional resources.
Harvester drones are known by various other colloquial nicknames. Among them are "junkbots" and "scrapdroids", for their scrapcobble parts and loose design patterns. "Scuttlers" is common in orbit, owing to their preponderance in the Scuttler Slice, as well as their inclination towards spider-legged drones when on land. "Trash spiders" is a frequent choice for similar reasons. Scattered sources suggest that the harvesters self-identify with a handful of humanized names. These names follow a common pattern, such as "Funky", "Fink-E", "Fatty", or "Fig-3". Some of these nicknames have entered into common vocabulary in some parts of orbit, where they serve to identify harvesters on an informal basis. Most Space Looney authorities cite them as unsubstantiated - or outright invented.
