Description
The usual morning patrol, an HCM-11A Harvestman heavy combat mech hovers along the water of the Faversham river, helping keep Osthmoor a secure and safe place to live.
I haven't drawn up many mechs for 3399/3400 (what a shame), so a couple of days ago I decided I should probably fix that and came back with a new monstrosity of the Osthmoorian Fighting Corps. Meet the HCM-11A "Harvestman", a massive, hideous, railgun touting, horrific war machine from the late days of the revolution. Here it is, silently cruising along the Faversham river in Mirfield, Torrine.
Originally introduced in 3318 as the ORFC's final solution to all enemy armor, HCM-11s violently ripped through the battlefield, wreaking havoc upon the enemy, and tanking heavy rockets and railgun fire as if they were nothing. The HCM-11A Harvestman was one of the first ever fully autonomous combat units deployed to the battlefield, and as a result had several infamous "glitches". Running off an extremely primitive version of BrainOS, the now standard AI system for almost all systems in Irridali, Harvestmans had trouble discerning what was an enemy or friendly unit. During the revolutionary war, according to old records, at least 8 separate occurrences of HCM-11A mechs mistaking entire Osthmoorian platoons for enemy troops and firing upon them happened. Capable of instantly exterminating everything in site with its powerful machine gun and rail cannon, the Harvestman was deemed unsafe for use with troops but too valuable of an asset to retire. Thus, troops would retreat at the sound of loud sirens in the distance, this signaling the coming entry of a Harvestman. Realizing that there wouldn't always be sirens or time to retreat, the glitch of the Harvestman eventually caused the ORFC to introduce the now standard golden stripe on their vehicles. The golden stripe on the vehicles would distinguish themselves from enemy vehicles, and the stripes were at times even put on the helmets of Osthmoorian soldiers running into battle as an extra safety precaution. Nowadays the stripes are unneeded, as the modern BrainOS is light-years ahead of the ancient versions, now with vehicle databases, histories of where each and every one of them were deployed, uniform identification so accurate that it surpasses what humans could do, and even behavior tracking that identifies whether or not the person is a threat, but the stripes are kept for tradition. ...Or at least that's what they tell us.
The above backstory is something I've had floating in my head for awhile now, I hope it isn't too cheesy. I thought it would be interesting if the stripes on ORFC vehicles and ships had a bit more of a reason of being there besides just "sci-fi". Stripes on things in sci-fi seem to be pretty common, they're on guns, vehicles, ships, soldiers, everything, and they make things look pretty neat, although often probably don't make much sense outside of ranks.
