- Low to the Ground: While by no means stealth, the low profile of the Griffin allows it to hide or even dodge incoming hits.
- Big Gun: The Thunderer Turbolaser is designed as a capital ship battery. While the Griffin only has the single barrel, it's capable of destroying tanks from afar, or even walkers.
- Ion Variant: The single barrel Thunderer Ion Cannon is designed to take on heavy walkers, disabling incoming attacks.
- Aim up: The repuslorlifts of the Griffin can be selectively turned off, allowing the Griffin to tilt it's gun if need be. This can turn the battery into an artillery piece, or a defensive gun if need be.
- Selective Aim: In order to fire the main gun, you must turn the entire vehicle. This means that the Griffin is forced to select it's single target with precision, and pray they aren't moving.
- Defensive Weapon: The rear and side armor of the Griffin is nowhere near as thick as the frontal armor. As a result, this vehicle is designed entirely for stationary or ambush attacks.
- Big Gun: The Griffin is loud, and hot. While it's jammers will prevent a lock by enemy targeting systems, it doesn't prevent them from hearing it go boom.
With the defensive war between the GA and the DE ramping up, and the heavy push by the Sith to approach a boiling point, Si Tech worked to find a new way for the GA to defend itself against enemy armor. The eventual solution was the Griffin, a massive turbolaser battery mounted on a repulsorlift chassis, designed as a quickly deployed assault gun, to take out approaching enemy vehicles without the cost of having massive walkers to counter the threats.
Victory through Simplicity, the tagline read.
