What CIG says RSI Ship Matrix
flight-ready Medium Fighter Combat Medium
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 manuevering thrusters.
