Drover Walker
Drover Walkers are several different bipedal walker frames, that are used by the Knight Worlds' Dover sub-class.[1]
History
They are used by Drovers to tend to the fields, estates[1] and herds[2] of their Knight World's nobility. There are several different Drover Walker frames, though the most popular and tested is the Drover Suit.[1] However by law, Drover Walkers are not armed with weapons and they must rely on their world's Imperial Knights for defense against raiders and predators. This is intentionally done, so that the Drovers will be unable to stage a revolt against their noble masters.[2]
Known Drover Walker Frames
- Drover Suit - Most popular and tested frame. It was adapted into the Imperial Army and Astra Militarum's Sentinel walker, after the Knight Worlds were discovered during the Great Crusade.[1]
