Vanduul Scythe

flight-ready Combat Medium Fighter Size 3 since Alpha 1.1.5

Fast becoming the symbol of the Vanduul Race, the Scythe is the foot soldier in every raid and the target of every human fighter pilot. Featuring a hefty weapons payload, the Scythe's real asset is its maneuverability, found in the twin main and twelve maneuvering thrusters. This captured Vanduul-made Scythe has been modified by Esperia to be flyable by Human pilots.
