The Driller is the United Empire of Earth Navy military designation for a type of escort and troop carrier operated by the Vanduul. A capital ship, it has most often been observed accompanying large-sized Vanduul Clans during major raids. Declassified military reports indicate that Drillers have multiple turrets and front-facing ship to ship guns that are capable of immense firepower.^[1]

-The [[Vanduul]] Harvester is a large mechanical beast that ingest all forms of matter and convert them for use by the Vanduul war machine. The harvesters found on [[Tiber System|Tiber]] have an even more terrifying dual purpose: they seem to be the source for the newer harvesters that have been dropped onto Human colonies during raids. These “mother harvesters,” visually no different from harvesters observed elsewhere, are, in effect, duplicating themselves to spread terror throughout the galaxy. Everything from starship wrecks to the bones of fallen soldiers ultimately feed the very enemy they were attempting to defeat.{{RSIref|url=comm-link/transmission/13614-Galactic-Guide-Tiber|text=Galactic Guide: Tiber}}
