Description[edit]
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 DropShips, rather than ground support.
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Riever's primary weapon is an aerospace-modified Imperator Zeta-A AC/20, supplied with a meager 10 rounds. The four Beta-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 Gamma 10 LRM was a late addition to the Riever series.
Variants[edit]
- F-700
- The new-era variant, introduced in 3050, has increased thrust and manages greater heat control through the use of double heat sinks. This model 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 F-700 model introduced 3050, this craft also makes use of double heat sinks, but 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 F-700a. BV (1.0) = 1,768;[11][12] BV (2.0) = 1,994
- 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. BV (2.0) =2,185[13]
Notes[edit]
- 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.
