The Ball Claw is something of an icon in The Fringe, commissioned by the Man Earlie Expeditionary Society after the discovery of the powerball swamps on Earlie Prime. Nowaways, Round Power's skiff-based harvesting operations are much more sophisticated, but this power grappler is what started it all, knee-deep in muck, wresting powerballs by hand. Earlie's commission vaulted Fringe-native outfitters, Magkery, to the status they enjoy today and their flagship grappler still hasn't lost relevance. Though made quickly obsolete in the Round Power-dominated powerball industry, the grappler has found new life across a variety of other industries - from chip-mining asteroids to plucking all sorts of bounty from the Fringe's many muck-based environs.
