OSV-XX Griffin

A large WAP that was secretly developed during the Second Huffman Conflict based on the proposed Grand Gunport  concept advocated for by the OCU Army. It is supposed to suppress local battles and skirmishes with a single machine, and in this interest is designed to have both mobility, great firepower, and the durability for sustained fighting. Development of full hardware for controlling the Wanzer (rumored to be a custom B-Device) was delayed, and the plan was ultimately suspended due to the production of one prototype that was lost unexpectedly.

The prototype was wrecked in battle just outside Freedom City while being committed to field testing by a squad led by Driscoll. Though it was destroyed Jade Metal-Lyman would go on to develop the Grand Gunport concept further resulting in the development of the OSV-08b Goalton as seen during the Aldoresh Coup.

Trivia

 * The Griffin only appears in Front Mission Online where it is presented as the OCU's answer to the Type 11 Raven.
 * It's only appearance ingame however is during a raid that will have USN players fight this wanzer and OCU players instead fight the Raven in an attempt to disrupt enemy army R&D. Regardless of player performance the Griffin will be destroyed by the Raven and Driscoll will escape whilst heavily damaged
 * Like the Raven and Royd's Wanzer, Shrike, Griffin is named after a flying animal whilst in this instance purely mythological.
