The shape of the enormous, tri-hulled craft is intended to echo the silhouette of barges used by ancient ocean-raiders on [[Doisac]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P473}} | ||
While the Griever only requires a single [[pilot]], one weapons officer and four additional crew members are required to operate the craft in its full capacity.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P473}} Despite its classification as a fighter-bomber, it is also referred to as a heavy bomber, and has cannon mounts large enough to be visible from more than two kilometers away.{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}} The Griever is also equipped with numerous defensive countermeasures including chaff, flares, and [[energy shielding]] alongside heavy armor.{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P473}} The combined shields and armor are able to take the impact of three volleys each of two [[Anaconda surface-to-air missile]]s in under three seconds before failing; requiring substantial concentrated fire to down.{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}} One of the Griever's greatest advantages in combat is its resilience, being able to operate nonstop for long durations of time. Despite being classified primarily as a bomber, which includes the usual limitations to speed and maneuverability, the Griever has been seen to effectively function as a fighter on rare occasions.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P473}} | While the Griever only requires a single [[pilot]], one weapons officer and four additional crew members are required to operate the craft in its full capacity.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P473}} Despite its classification as a fighter-bomber, it is also referred to as a heavy bomber, and has cannon mounts large enough to be visible from more than two kilometers away.{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}} The Griever is also equipped with numerous defensive countermeasures including chaff, flares, and [[energy shielding]] alongside heavy armor.{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P473}} The combined shields and armor are able to take the impact of three volleys each of two [[Anaconda surface-to-air missile]]s in under three seconds before failing; requiring substantial concentrated fire to down.{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}} One of the Griever's greatest advantages in combat is its resilience, being able to operate nonstop for long durations of time.

Another of its armaments consists of multiple [[plasma cannon]]s capable of firing "vehicle-sized" plasma bolts.{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}} | ||

Grievers were employed by the [[Banished]] on [[Reach]] during [[Operation: WOLFE]]. During their occupation of Reach, they employed Grievers whenever pockets of [[Viery Militia|resistance]] were encountered; in such events a single fighter-bomber was deployed to turn the pocket into a crater.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSORC11|HSOR|Chapter=11}} Five such craft were later employed in an attack on New Mohács, though four were destroyed by the resistance with [[Anaconda surface-to-air missile]]s, and the fifth by [[Blue Team]] using [[M95 Lance]]s, with their destruction taking out and wounding Banished forces moving towards New Mohács.{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}} | |||
