Blade (replica)

The Esperia Blade is a Vanduul light fighter replica produced by Esperia for military use. They are often used for training for the UEE pilots. The maneuverability of the Blade is beyond anything else out there which makes up for its lacking armor.

 * Weapons: The replica has a pair of Size 3 "Warlord" plasma cannons, a pair of Size 2 "Wasp" laser cannons as well as a pair of Size 3 missile hard-points (each holding a rack of four Size 1 missiles) installed.
