================================================================================================
Overview:
An IndustrialMech made for work in spaceports, port towns, expeditions and any operation
that requires hauling cargo - something the Porter is exceptional at, being able to carry
six tons across its shoulders and another three in its right arm clamp.
Capabilities:
The Porter excels at moving cargo, being able to carry up to nine tons of material at speeds
of up to 64 kilometers an hour. Its right arm is equipped with a lift hoist and, although
cumbersome, is extremely mobile. A smaller secondary arm is attached to the left torso and
is used for stability, movement and, in extreme circumstances, punching. The Porter’s
engine, set slightly to the left, is notably overpowered for an IndustrialMech of its size
and era, though the whole package is scantly protected by a few tons of Commercial Armour.
Its legs, while sturdy and robust, are nevertheless pushed to their limit by the near-30
tons of machinery and cargo they support, and are thus more susceptible to attacks than
average.
Deployment:
The Porter is rarely, if ever, found in frontline combat, and is instead found hauling cargo
galaxywide, as its name would suggest.
Variants:
The cargo pods on the Porter are highly modular and have led to a dizzying array of
configurations, some of which were even adopted by Good Land Manufacturing Inc. and later
distributors as official models. The most common is the 1A, which replaces three tons of
cargo with four machine guns and one ton of ammunition for use in lawless cities and
frontier spaceports, though later more radical configurations add jump jets, improved armor,
targeting systems and even missile pods, turning the Porter into something roughly
resembling a BattleMech.
