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>{{Cite RSI|url=pledge/ships/scythe/Vanduul-Scythe|text=The Vanduul Scythe - Ship Page}}</ref><ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/1c1bbpmb3uat3r/source/AC-Manual-1-1a-V11.pdf|text=Arena Commander Manual}}</ref><br />

== Development ==<br />
The Scythe was originally designed by [[StarCitizen:Jim Martin]] as the Dralthi from [[StarCitizen:Wing Commander (series)|''Wing Commander'']] for what became the ''[[StarCitizen:Star Citizen]]'' pitch.<ref>"[https://bsky.app/profile/banditloaf.wcnews.com/post/3lnxjeaojy226 <nowiki>The Scythe was originally designed by the great Jim Martin as the Dralthi for what became the Star Citizen pitch.[...]</nowiki>]", @banditloaf.wcnews.com‬, Blueksy, April 29, 2025</ref> It was first revealed in the ''[[StarCitizen:Squadron 42]]'' cinematic trailer in [[StarCitizen:Kickstarter campaign]] in October 2012, making it the first [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]] ship in ''[[StarCitizen:Star Citizen]]''.<ref name="sq422012">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpgUuGunU0o Squadron 42 - Full Cinematic Trailer] on YouTube</ref><br />
<br />
The Scythe was implemented in game as NPC enemies in ''[[StarCitizen:Arena Commander]]'', and was later added to the game as a [[StarCitizen::Category:Flight ready|flyable ship]] as a captured model.<ref name="commlink14773">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14773-Preview-Flying-The-Scythe|text=Preview: Flying the Scythe}}</ref><br />
<br />
It was first redesigned in 2014 with physically based rendering technique.<ref name="pbrupdate">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13568-Scythe-PBR-Update|text=Scythe PBR Update}}</ref><ref name="wipold">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/13772-WIP-Scythe-Update|text=WIP: Scythe Update}}</ref> The Scythe along with the rest of the Vanduul fleet were then redesigned in 2019 using the design styles of the updated [[StarCitizen:Kingship]] interior.<ref name="isc2020-06-18">[https://youtu.be/J8hoEbs4krE Inside Star Citizen: Enemy Mine - Spring 2020] on YouTube</ref><br />
<br />
[[StarCitizen:Chris Roberts]] kept calling the Scythe the Dralthi from [[StarCitizen:Wing Commander (series)|''Wing Commander'']] for years.<br />
