The Turbine is an imposing machine that drifts airborne across the Rust Belt, protected by heavy armor and electrified defenses that makes it almost untouchable in flight.
When it lands to start up its sifting turbine, the armor plating opens up partially, revealing its vulnerable machinery. However, it is by no means defenseless. Bringing one down takes patience, coordination, and timing, and those virtues are for most Raiders in shorter supply than ammunition.
Those who manage to down one are rewarded with some of the rarest ARC materials found outside a Harvester.
Despite repeated warnings, a surprising number of Raiders have attempted to climb and ride this machine. The results are universally the same: second-degree burns, a long fall, and a story no one at the cantinas believe.
Based on its internals, it is speculated to be a collector of airborne particulates: volcanic minerals, spore matter, and perhaps trace elements suspended in the dust that blankets much of the surface. Others claim it is after oxygen itself, though none seem to know for certain.
