The Esperia Glaive is a symmetrical version of the Scythe reproduced for Human usage. Generally flown by Vanduul with more combat experience, they are better armed and have two huge blades/wings as opposed to one on the standard Scythe.[1]

Features

Notoriety
While not as well known as the Scythe, the Glaive can easily put the same terror into others before even firing a single shot.
Trainer
The spacecraft for ideal for aggressor training operations.
Weapons
The replica has a pair of Size 5 "Wrath" Plasma cannons, a pair of Size 1 "Weak" laser cannons as well as pair of Size 4 missile hard-points (each holding a rack of four Size 2 missiles) installed.
Blades
The Glaive is probably most notable for its pair of giant retractable blades that is designed to rip its prey apart.
Stowage
It has the capability to stow up to 250K μSCU of items via an external storage unit.
