The '''Griever fighter-bomber''' is | The '''Dovotaa Workshop lair waster''',{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P473}} also known as the '''Griever fighter-bomber''', is a bomber employed by the [[Banished]] in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war era]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}} | ||

===Design details=== | ===Design details=== | ||
The Griever | The Dovotaa Workshop Griever's design first originated from within the [[Dovotaa]] [[clan]]'s workshops in the [[Rulux]] region on [[Teash]], the [[Crucibles of Dovotaa]]. The craft was designed using technological advancements lifted from [[Covenant]] archives with the shape of the enormous, tri-hulled craft 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}} | |||
===Armaments=== | ===Armaments=== | ||
The Griever is equipped with | The Griever fighter-bomber is equipped with a heavy mortar, six [[plasma]] beam projectors, two [[spike cannon]]s, and two [[plasma lance]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P473}} One of its plasma-based weapons consists of dispersion nozzles that spray plasma down onto a targeted surface, capable of "reducing half of [[New Mohács]] to [[glassing|glass]]." Another of its armaments consists of multiple [[plasma cannon]]s capable of firing "vehicle-sized" plasma bolts.{{Ref/Reuse|HSORC16}} | ||
==Operational history== | ==Operational history== | ||
Grievers were employed by the [[Banished]] on [[Reach]] during [[Operation: WOLFE]] in [[2559#October|2559]]. 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}} Two months later, Grievers took part in [[Battle over Installation 07|the opening space battle]] of the [[Battle for Zeta Halo|Battle]] for [[Installation 07|Zeta Halo]]. They, along with Banished [[Seraph]]s and [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Phantoms]], fought against the complement of [[F-41 Broadsword|Broadswords]], [[Pelican]]s, and [[Longsword]]s from the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and her escort fleet.{{Ref/Novel|RP|Chapter=1}} | |||
