Part of me hopes they never ever answer the question.

I'm assuming drillers are the people who eventually drill the mines.

I always think of Sentinels from The Matrix but I also kind of hope the devs never put a description or image to them.

They can't really be people, because the Thief can steal them. Otherwise it would have been an Immigration Officer or something like that.

I also disagree on the fact that they are actual people. Because for example the General "DESTROYS" 10 drillers. They would put KILL if they were human.

Ha, yes, I was focussed on the part that they drilled mines, and then the 'people' part was included without thinking...

I initially thought of them as steam driven drilling robots, but then started to think of them as power suits, kinda more like Ripley wears in aliens, crossed with a big daddy from bioshock. With an oxygen supply and pressure protection. I like to imagine there's a human cost to the battles that are going on.
But yeah, I hope we never find out definitively!
