==Description==
A primary unit in [[Free Worlds League]] aerospace forces, the '''''Riever''''' makes up for its low maneuverability, thrust, and somewhat lackluster weapons systems with its ability to take a punch and stay in the fight until the job is done. This post–[[Star League]] design also brings to the table easy maintenance and repair routines, due to the need for simplicity, even as early as the first decade of the [[twenty-ninth century]]. The primary mission of the ''Riever'' remains that of anti-enemy fighter formations and [[DropShip]]s, rather than ground support.

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Riever''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s primary weapon is an aerospace-modified [[Imperator Zeta-A]] [[AC/20]], supplied with a meager 10 rounds. The four [[SRM-6#Beta-6|Beta-6]] [[SRM-6|SRM]] launchers are intended for anti-[[aerospace fighter]] operations; capable of destroying light fighters easily, they can also do significant damage to medium and heavy fighters. The [[LRM-10#Gamma 10|Gamma 10]] [[LRM]] was a late addition to the ''Riever'' series.

*; F-100a : This variant, introduced in [[2829]], swaps out the [[LRM-10]] for two more [[SRM-6]]s. Unlike the anti-[[DropShip]] model, this one is intended to get into the thick of a dogfight and deal some SRM-style pain close-up.

*; F-100b : This unpopular variant was introduced in [[2835]] and replaces the SRM launchers with two [[AC/5]]s. In order to accommodate the autocannons, armor had to be sacrificed, costing the model its primary, and some say only, advantage.

*; F-700 : The new-era variant, introduced in [[3050]], has increased thrust and manages greater heat control through the use of [[double heat sinks]].

*; F-700b : This variant was introduced during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. Equipped with 16 tons of [[ferro-aluminum]] armor for better protection, the standard [[AC/20]] is also upgraded to a [[UAC-20]] model, and the SRM launchers in each wing are updated to [[Streak SRM-6]], with an extra launcher each.
