Harvester

Harvesters, also known as Junkers, are specially-trained bounty hunters who specifically target transhumans. A Harvester may hunt transhumans in hiding or investigate certain institutions for infiltrators, and may occasionally exert authority over local police or military forces.

A Harvester may be freelance or regularly employed. Harvesters working for the Department of Human Preservation wield jurisdictional authority and advanced techniques such as the modified Ernst test.

History
The first Harvesters were employed by the Union during the Occupation to neutralize transhuman defectors. Harvesters did not become common until after the Liberation, when transhumans began to go into hiding en masse. The Reclamation Authority was not established until the November Inmate Riots in 10 AL.

Etymology
The term Harvester comes from a common belief that those who hunt transhumans do so in order to harvest modified organs and tissues from the bodies.
