The Dovotaa Workshop Sky Protector, commonly known as the Reaver, is a bipedal anti-aircraft walker used by the Banished.[1][3] The Reaver is capable of using its missiles as a propulsion system briefly in order to cover long distances or smash into enemies, similar to a Spartan's ground pound.
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The Reaver is a heavily-armoured bipedal combat walker. Despite its heavy armour plating, the walker is considered agile in nature, able to use a series of in-built jump-jet systems to quickly launch itself into the air and access more advantageous firing positions.[1] The vehicle is manufactured by the Crucibles of Dovotaa, a clan workshop of the Dovotaa clan, bearing the marks of both workshop and assembly forge construction.[2] An armoured canopy is situated in the front of the vehicle, covered in thick armour plating.[1]
Armaments[edit]
In its role as an anti-air system, the Reaver is primarily fitted with two Thrasher missile pods, with each pod containing five launch tubes. For self-defence against lighter ground targets, the Reaver has twin spike autocannons mounted just below the cockpit canopy[1] - with the weapons themselves seemingly built into the housing of two Zubo-pattern beam rifles.
The sensor system for the Reaver was taken from an old salvaged Covenant augur assembly.[1]
Variants[edit]

Operational history[edit]
The Reaver is a relatively new addition to the Banished arsenal, and its manufacturer is unknown-though it bears telltale marks of both workshop and assembly vat construction, which hints at an origin on Doisac. They have largely replaced the skyhunter series of Wraiths and anti-aerospace fortifications in the Banished.[2] The Banished deployed many Reavers against the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire on Installation 00 in March 2559.[3]
In October of 2559, Reavers were deployed by Banished forces on Reach to defend against an attack by United Nations Space Command forces on the Menachite portal complex.[4]

Reavers can be built at the Foundry by all Banished leaders. Reavers perform well against aircraft, but poorly against infantry, vehicles, and structure
