This monster was alot of fun to design. I love my giant robots almost as much as
space ships. In the light gravity of an asteroid or moon the graceful legs of this asteroid crawler can move the giant robotic vehicle very fast across even the most treacherous surfaces and at a fraction of the cost of an antigrav system.
The room inside the asteroid crawler was dark and full of incense. Morvanwin insisted that a reading be done each time a good prospect was discovered, before the start of each new dig. Somnal was sitting with her in respectful silence watching the asteroid surface glide by through the crawler window, the blast shield was half down to block out any bright ships engines which might suddenly appear above the close horizon and spoil the vibe so all that could be seen was endless amounts of impact crater covered rock scrolling by.
