The Raven is an all-around workhorse that combines the functions of light manufacturing center and observation post rolled into one. A common sight among the fringe-world colonies, the Raven is a robust, air-mobile vehicle built to operate independently in all but the harshest climates. Although the Raven shares a number of common traits with its smaller cousin, the SCV, the Raven is a far more specialized and advanced engineering craft.

Ravens are normally employed for first-line colony surveillance and protection duties against dangerous local life forms or climate events. These vehicles boast an impressive array of sensors delicate enough to detect even cloaked or burrowed enemies. By deploying its two aft-mounted nano-welders, the Raven can construct a variety of small, semi-permanent defensive structures to meet various threats in a matter of moments.

Several standard template constructions are available to the Raven, a popular example being the auto turret. This simple robot gun emplacement is suitable for driving off smaller hostile life forms for an extended period of time.

The Terran Dominion initially provided Ravens to give low-level protection to its most isolated outposts, typically manning them with local civilians as something akin to a volunteer fire truck or ambulance service. Over time the military support applications of the Raven have seen it deployed in escalating levels of conflict, gradually replacing the older and vastly costlier science vessel.
