To get straight to it, the Harvester has been given a visa and allowed into the Home System by several other units of the Defense fleet, the names of which I do not have in front of me at the moment, but will get on it with haste.
According to Lieutenant Commander Lanakov, the Harvester is nick-named "Viatchislav" and in my experience with it seems to have developed a personality. If a machine could snicker or take pride in killing the enemy of the Coalition, this one did.
The Harvester joined the flotilla after the intruder "Ell Morro" was seen entering, and then exiting the Home System. It was invited by Lt. Cmdr. Lanakov and myself to join in a pirate-sweep of the Omegas as I wanted to evaluate the ship I'd heard about from other officers. It performed admirably. If the Harvester had not been in the conflict, I fear the Saratov could have been a loss.
Currently, the Harvester has taken over an Imperator-class Corsair gunboat. It has six Corsair turrets and two Gunboat BattleRazors at last inspection. I did not, however, get a chance to scan the armor numbers or class of the ship, but I can assume it's at least Cap4 or better.
The ship then escorted the Saratov into the Home System, but when informed I was headed to Mykolaiv, it said it was not allowed into the vicinity of the Research Station, and made for Zhukovsky instead.
It is my belief, having encountered the Harvester now twice, that it is friendly to our cause and possibly an asset to be studied and exploited. It has assisted Coalition forces on numerous engagements and followed orders given by Coalition forces without hesitation.
