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

Development
| 2015-08-07 | The vehicle was originally sold during a flyable promotion sale back in 2015, limited to only 1000 in numbers.[2] |
| 2020-06-18 | The Glaive along with the rest of the Vanduul fleet were redesigned in 2019 using the design styles of the updated Kingship interior.[3] |
| 2023-11-01 | In CitizenCon 2023, CIG announced that the owners of the Vanduul ships will get the reworked version without an unspecified date.[4] |
Trivia
- The ship gets its name from a particular type of pole weapon, distinguished by a single-edged blade at its tip, known for its distinctive design and versatility in different combat situations. [5]
- The Glaive is now obtainable through one of two methods. First, by making a pledge: upon successfully completing Vanduul Swarm in Arena Commander, your account will be granted the opportunity to purchase the ship from the RSI store during specific limited-time sales held throughout the year. Second, through referrals: accumulating 200 Recruitment Points (RP) will result in a Glaive being added to your hangar.
