The '''Griever fighter-bomber''' is an aircraft employed by the [[Banished]], that's primary weapon being dispersion nozzles that spray down plasma onto targets.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR16|HSOR|Chapter=16}}

The Griever is an enormous, tri-hulled craft employed by the Banished. 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. The Griever is also equipped with numerous defensive countermeasures including chaff, flares and [[energy shielding]] alongside heavy armor. 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|SOR16}}

The Griever is equipped with at least two weapon systems; the primary weapon being dispersion nozzles capable of spraying plasma down onto the surface and capable of "reducing half of [[New Mohács]] to [[glassing|glass]]", and a secondary armament consisting of multiple [[plasma cannon]]s capable of firing "vehicle-sized" plasma bolts.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR16}}

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|HSOR|Chapter=11}} Five such craft were later employed in an attack on New Mohács.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR16}}
