Hostile Environment Extraction Company

The Hostile Environment Extraction Company is a Dalmer mining company that specializes in extracting surface ores and fuel sources on uninhabited realms. The company specializes in laser cutters for its digging, boring and extraction operations, its workforce is almost entirely robotic.
== Production ==
The extraction company works on the principles of detection, extraction, refining and shipping.
The detection is done by canary drones, who find potential ressource nodes. Shrews are armored workers who break down ores, who are transported via Termites to Horses who carry the ores to Tortoises for refinery. The refined matter is then shipped via Squirrels to warehouses. When Squirrels are unavailable, Honeybees and Crocodiles can transport the matter into orbit. 
For special extractions in hazardous mines prone to collapse, Spiders and Clouds are used. To prevent collapses, Moles can create emergency support beams.
For mass extraction situations, usually in low gravity, Squids and nautilus are used for drilling ores.
== Work units ==
The HEEC uses exclusively laser weapons to drill and extract ores.
=== Ground units ===
==== Shrew ====
Mining suit with dual laser drill arms.
==== Spider ====
Deep mining unit with the ability to blink of our danger in case of collapse.
==== Termite ====
Resource extraction and collection unit.
==== Horse ====
Heavy work ore carrying unit.
==== Mole ====
Creates shields and supports in case of mine collapse.
==== Cloud ====
For drilling in small areas prone to collapse so have several redundant layers of shields to protect the fragile core. Use powerful thermal tools.
==== Tortoise ====
Transport and mobile refinery. 
==== Squid ====
Giant walking laser drill for open air quarries.
=== Air units ===
==== Crocodile ====
Cargo blimps with automated collection drones.
==== Canary ====
Stealth ore detection unit.
==== Honeybee ====
Flying gravity forklift.
==== Nautilus ====
High intensity flying laser drill.
==== Squirrel ====
Drop ship that acts as a transport network relay.
== Defense ==
To keep hostile creatures at bay the HEEC employs Badgers, aircraft designed for anti air defense and defense rigs, which are stationary laser cannons.
