Hard-Light Holoworker

Overview
The Hard-Light Holoworker is a relatively new application of Hardlight technology in order to construct and maintain everything from remote outposts to space platforms as well as harvest resources. They are used by both military and civilian interests throughout Iievian Space for their versatility, transportability, and ease of production. During the 'Planetary Expansion Era', Hard-Light Holoworkers became a significant advantage in the international race to colonize planets with its cheapness, lightness, and efficiency.

The Syrco Industrial-Strength Hardlight Projector, initial inspiration for the 'Government Model', became prominent for its performance during construction phases during the colonisatin of the Polaris starsystem in the 2040's by Iievian settlers. It was widely adopted and became a staple in Iievian military projects by 2050. However, as the Iievian government became aware of its potential advantages, the technology was restricted to use in projects that were beneficial to the national interest and the patent was bought by the government.

The 'Government Model' commonly refers to the latest model in use by the Iievian military and government in its projects. Currently, the Government Model is the HLP-C98, which is restricted to three hologram models, as this means that a smaller memory size is sufficient and thus creating a smaller projector. The projector itself is about the size of a fist and utilises its own projection for movement. The three models are the 'Construction Model', which is a multi-purpose humanoid robot that is fitted with various tools, the 'Mining Model', a large mechanical robot with drills and a large cargo space, and the 'Lumber Model', projected with sharp saws and a large cargo area. Though they can avoid the need for especially sturdy tools by substituting extreme sharpness, as is possible withint he realms of hardlight technology, during battle the projection itself can easily be 'popped' and the projector left defenseless for several seconds, before it can re-project a model which can protect it.
