The Tasker is a Corvid Light Mech, currently not pilotable by the player.
Acquisitions Entry[]
Fast, low to the ground, and about as tough as they come, the Tasker proves that Corvids have at least someone who knows what they’re doing in leadership. Where the Loyalist light mech ethos is maneuverability with firepower, Corvids take hammers and give them legs—design by way of barroom brawl. The majority of Corvid light mechs are built to rapidly close distance and engage with high impact weaponry, as precision aiming at range requires much finer tolerances than Corvids are generally able to produce. So instead they stick large bore, inaccurate guns on fast platforms and get so close in combat they can’t miss. Not exactly sophisticated, but effective nonetheless.
The Tasker exemplifies this, with its elongate Sawbuck cockpit housing a well stocked Auxiliary mount cannon and a battery for it’s little Snakebite zapper. One-on-one they’re not much of a threat, especially in an open field. But Taskers always travel in packs, and they can be a real terror in urban combat.
