EM-240 Neides auger (Earth-5875)

The EM-240 Neides auger, also known as the Neides heavy auger, or simply the Neides, is a heavy-duty mining machine manufactured by JOTUN Heavy Industries, being capable of giving almost unsurpassed productivity to resource-extraction colonial operations. With the use of state-of-the-art laser technologies, the Neides is capable of drilling deep without the risk of losing or contaminating personnel. Many of them were employed by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation during their reterraforming efforts on Meridian.
