History
"Collecting ore and supplies is all right!"

-Prospector Operator

The vehicle Alliance citizens known as the Prospector is basically just a well-put-together material supply truck suitable for the collection and transportation of raw resources. Even if it does convert into a military Command Hub, the Prospector is close cousins with civilian trucks, and like most civilian trucks, carries no defenses whatsoever. Because of this unassuming nature, the Alliance continue to express concern and dismay that Prospectors now appear to be priority targets for Soviet forces. It wasn't always this way. Originally designed as industrial pick-ups, Prospectors gradually became more important to Alliance field posts and strategic holds. Soon enough, these vehicles began to see action on the front, in the midst of conflict with Soviet forces.

Prospectors, of course, are used mostly for collecting Ore and Supplies quickly and efficiently. Some yet argue that the war between the Voshkod and Alliance is not about ideology but rather about ore. However, this is an unpopular stance due to three compelling facts about the world's premier resource for military-industrial manufacturing. One: Ore has always been fairly abundant in virtually all developed nations of the world, from (Switzerland) to Ulthuan, and from Sophitia to (Iceland). Indeed, even the middle of the sea offers its own fair supply of ore. Two: Ore is a natural, renewable resource.

The thought of fighting over control of this substance is just as unimaginable as, say, the thought of fighting over sunlight, or drinking water, or radio waves. And three: Ore just isn't a concern to the people of the world. Year after year, public poll after public poll, Ore proves itself time and again to be little more than an afterthought in people's perception of the world's top issues. The Well-Refined Ore Corporation, a large Buffalo-based corporation that offers vertically-integrated ore refinement solutions and originally invented the Prospector, has a company motto that's very to the point: "Ore: Don't Even Worry about It."

Nevertheless, as tensions rose between the Voshkod and Alliance, their top providers of military goods increasingly sought out greater supplies of ore so that their production could continue unabated. And because ore is not so common that it may be found just sprinkled around on the ground, the Voshkod and the Alliance began to explore new ways to gather up the stuff directly from dormant mines. This was around the time when the Alliance retrofitted their Prospectors with magnetically-sealed cargo bins as well as with amphibious capability, plus military-grade components for their communications arrays. In retrospect, these changes may have coincided with the Voshkod' increased aggression toward Prospectors.

In spite of the increasing danger and undeniable monotony of operating an Alliance Prospector, drivers of these vehicles are known for their cheerful demeanor and customer-friendly attitude toward their work. This may be in part because the Alliance pay these laborers well, likely because Prospectors ultimately are the key to letting the Alliance manufacture new equipment in the field.
