Description
A primary unit within Free Worlds League aerospace forces, the Riever makes up for its low manueverability and thrust and its somewhat lackluster weapons systems with its capability 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 29th century. The primary mission of the Riever remains that of anti-enemy fighter formations and DropShips, rather than ground support.
Weapons and Equipment
The Riever's primary weapon is an aerospace-modified Imperator Zeta-A AC/20, supplied with a meager 10 rounds. The four Beta SRM-6 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 Gamma LRM-10 was a late addition to the Riever series.
Variants
- F-700
- The new-era variant, introduced in 3050, has increased thrust and managed greater heat control through the use of double heat sinks. The craft is popular with the Free Worlds League, the new Star League and the Word of Blake. BV (1.0) = 1,474[9][10], BV (2.0) = 1,626
- F-700a
- A variant of the -700 model introduced 3050, this craft also makes use of double heat sinks, but also has swapped out the conventional weapons package for an LB 10-X AC and eight SRM-6 racks. The Federated Suns joins with the Free Worlds League, the new Star League and the Word of Blake in utilizing the -700A. BV (1.0) = 1,768[11][12], BV (2.0) = 1,994
- F-700b
- This variant is introduced during the FedCom Civil War. Equipped with 16 tons ferro-aluminum for better protection. The standard AC/20 is upgraded to an UAC-20 model, and the SRM launchers in each wing are updated to Streak SRM-6, plus two extra launchers. BV (2.0) =2,185[13]
Notes
- In German products, the unit's proper name was altered to Schnitter, which roughly translates to Reaper. The model code was altered to F-500.
