Earlier today I received some intel from a junker, of strange ships hanging around O-15, their description seemed to match that of the Harvesters. Instead of risking the Aurora I had an Eagle prepped for a recon mission and headed for O-15. Once I reached there I headed straight for the Guild station in the system for repairs and to see if the hunters had further information. (they didn't seem to know much)
Seeing as the tip came from a junker I set a course towards the Junker station in the system, before I could reach there, a Harvester destroyer flew right past me, seemingly not noticing. Seems the stealth armour installed was working, for now...
As I moved closer, 2 more harvesters appeared on scanners. Their designations were harvester 1, 8 and 15. Here are the 3 scans I took of the ships, however their scanners appeared to have penetrated the stealth at this point, and harvester 1 engaged.
From this I could only conclude that the harvesters are mining this rich scrap metal field for resources. Possibly for use in reconstructing their ships after they are destroyed.
I'd suggest investigating this further, if we can remove a possible resource location from them, we may be able to slow their growth.

Iâll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because itâs flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
