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]].

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}}).
