May Release - "Torque" Medium Rig

Greetings Ironclads,

The "Torque" is complete! I'll be sending it out to all Ironclads very soon. The Torque is a cousin to the Silo, both manufactured by Harrow Industrial.

Harrow Industrial provides land-based industrial and defensive support for Triton Engineering’s sprawling offshore operations, manufacturing rugged utility platforms capable of operating in unstable coastal environments and refinery districts. Their machines are known for their durability, simple maintenance requirements, and strong defensive capabilities, making them a common sight protecting supply depots and frontier settlements throughout Triton-aligned territories.

With the next crowdfunding launch that will feature the rules for the new Rigs, there will be a big update to the Mercenary Rigs. I've been fleshing out how they slot into the Of Oil and Iron universe - and essentially, there are minor corporations who have survived being absorbed by one of the greater corporations. They are allowed to exist for several reasons, corporations find use for them through taxation, frontier defense or by other means. But they are allowed to sell their Rigs to Mercenary Nomad groups, for the most part. Each minor corporation is somehow loosely tied to one of the main corporations.

So, some exciting things happening with the Mercenaries! More to come. In the meantime, let's take a good look at the Torque!
