Bennett owned and piloted a [[Griffin|GRF-1E ''Griffin'']] which she nicknamed ''Sparky''. Prior to the War of 3039 she had replaced the LRM launcher of her ''Griffin'' with five medium lasers, one mounted in each torso, one beside the PPC and two in ''Sparky'''s left arm. The additional weight saved went towards an extra heat sink and an additional ton of armor.<ref name=TRO39p287/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 459</ref>
