The '''Dovotaa Workshop Sky Protector''', commonly known as the '''Reaver''', is a bipedal anti-aircraft walker used by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=456}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HW2|HW2|Reaver in-game unit}} The Reaver is capable of using its missiles as a propulsion system briefly in order to cover long distances or smash into enemies, similar to a [[Spartan]]'s [[ground pound]].

==Overview==
===Design details===
The Reaver is a heavily-armoured bipedal combat walker. Despite its heavy armour plating, the walker is considered agile in nature, able to use a series of in-built jump-jet systems to quickly launch itself into the air and access more advantageous firing positions.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The vehicle is manufactured by the [[Crucibles of Dovotaa]], a [[clan workshop]] of the Dovotaa clan, bearing the marks of both workshop and [[Assembly Forges|assembly forge]] construction.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} An armoured canopy is situated in the front of the vehicle, covered in thick armour plating.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Armaments===
In its role as an [[Anti-aircraft weapon|anti-air]] system, the Reaver is primarily fitted with two [[Thrasher missile]] pods, with each pod containing five launch tubes. For self-defence against lighter ground targets, the Reaver has twin [[Spike cannon|spike autocannons]] mounted just below the cockpit canopy{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} - with the weapons themselves seemingly built into the housing of two {{Pattern|Zubo|beam rifle}}s.

The sensor system for the Reaver was taken from an old salvaged [[Covenant]] [[Augur array|augur assembly]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Variants===
*'''[[Prowling Reaver]]''' - a variant of the Reaver fitted with [[active camouflage]] technology.

==Operational history==
The Reaver is a relatively new addition to the Banished arsenal, and its manufacturer is unknown-though it bears telltale marks of both workshop and assembly vat construction, which hints at an origin on [[Doisac]]. They have largely replaced the [[skyhunter]] series of [[Wraith]]s and anti-aerospace fortifications in the Banished.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} The Banished deployed many Reavers against the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} on [[Installation 00]] in March [[2559]].{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}}

In December of 2559, Reavers were deployed by Banished forces on [[Reach]] to defend against an [[Operation: WOLFE|attack]] by [[United Nations Space Command]] forces on the [[Menachite portal complex]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR14|HSoR|Chapter=14}}

==Gameplay==
===''Halo Wars 2''===
*'''Info:''' Anti-Air, Detects cloaked units, Weak against vehicles
*'''Tier:''' 2
*'''Cost:''' {{HW2Pop|5}}, {{HW2Supplies|175}}, {{HW2Power|215}}
Reavers can be built at the [[Banished Foundry|Foundry]] by all Banished [[leader]]s. Reavers perform well against aircraft, but poorly against infantry, vehicles, and structures. In [[Blitz]], Reavers cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|60}} energy and Prowling Reavers cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|80}} energy. Prowling Reavers stay cloaked for 90 seconds.

==Trivia==
The Reaver bears numerous similarities to the cut [[Gorgon (cut vehicle)|Gorgon]] vehicle, intended for inclusion in the original ''[[Halo Wars]]''.
