The '''Harvester''' is the primary class of spacecraft built by the [[Okaati]] during the [[seventh-millennium]]. Harvesters of varying size are constructed to house the remnants of the Okaati civilization during their millennia-long exile [[Okaati fleet|within their own fugitive fleet]]. While christened as a nod to their agricultural roots, Harvesters serve as manufacturing, resource processing, and housing crafts for the Okaati people. | |||
An exemplification of Okaati engineering acumen, Harvester crafts feature the ability to carry any cargo and convert it over to whatever they need, including the creation of new Harvesters. New Harvesters are built in space as their fleet travels the [[Empyrean Expanse]] ({{Comics|classic|1}}). | |||
{{ | Harvesters are built for both hauling and speed, given the Okaati's parasitical nature and their need to avoid [[the Comitat]]'s pursuit crafts. While armed with fixed forward-facing weapons, Harvesters use their adroit nature to avoid combat, and are able to both board via airlocks capable of connecting a wide variety of different space crafts and installations, as well as towing ships of great bulk at rapid speed via magnetic grapnels in concert with superior engine systems ({{Comics|classic|1}}-{{Comics|classic|5|short=y}}). | ||
[[File:BSG - Counterstrike - Harvesters In Action and Being Built.png|thumb|[[Parrin]] illustrates how the Harvesters are central to their very existence, and their ability to make use of materials to build new ships for [[Okaati fleet|their fleet]] ({{comics|classic|1}}).]] | |||

* While ''Galactica'' detected over 100 Harvesters [[Battlestar Galactica Classic 1|upon their initial meeting]], the number likely totaled over 200 as each was attached to one of the Fleet's civilian ships [[Battlestar Galactica Classic 3|during their Okaati's heist]]. | |||
