Description
A primary unit within Marik aerospace forces, the Riever makes up for it's low manueverability and thrust and it's 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).
Armament
The Riever's primary weapon is an aerospace-modified Imperator Zeta-a Class-20 autocannon, supplied with a meager ten rounds. The four Beta Short-Range Missile 6-racks are intended for anti-ASF operations; capable of destroying light fighters easily, they can also do significant damage to medium and (fellow) heavy fighters. The Gamma Long-Range Missile 10-Rack was a late addition to the Riever series.
Variants
- F-100A - This variant, introduced in 2829, swaps out the LRM-10 for two more SRM-6s. Unlike the anti-DropShip model, this one is intended to get into a thick dogfight and deal some SRM-style pain close-up. BV (1.0) = 1,381, BV (2.0) = 1,575
- F-100B - This unpopular variant was introduced in 2835 and replaces the SRM launchers with two AC/5s. In order to accomodate the autocannons, armor had to be sacrificed, costing the model its primary (and some say "only") advantage. BV (1.0) = 1,223, BV (2.0) = 1,262
- 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, BV (2.0) = 1,626
- F-700A - A variant of the -700 model, 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. Introduced 3050. 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, BV (2.0) = 1,994
