	The [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]] '''Scythe''' (UEE designation) is a medium fighter that appears in every Vanduul raid. There is not a single allowance for comfort, cargo or anything that would dilute the ship's function as a dedicated dogfighter. Featuring a hefty weapons payload, the Scythe's real asset is its maneuverability, found in the twin main and twelve maneuvering thrusters.<ref>{{~~SC/~~Cite RSI\|url=pledge/ships/scythe/Vanduul-Scythe\|text=The Vanduul Scythe - Ship Page}}</ref><ref>{{~~SC/~~Cite RSI\|url=media/1c1bbpmb3uat3r/source/AC-Manual-1-1a-V11.pdf\|text=Arena Commander Manual}}</ref>		The [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]] '''Scythe''' (UEE designation) is a medium fighter that appears in every Vanduul raid.
