Lore
For some decades, United Empire of Earth aggressor squadrons have operated replica Blade fighters produced under exclusive contract by StarCitizen:Esperia Inc. These spacecraft, produced in great quantity, have been used to train generations of fighter pilots for StarCitizen:Vanduul engagements. Today, StarCitizen:Esperia manufactures Scythe and Glaive clones for training and testing purposes, with most former Blades having been returned to the manufacturer for storage and disassembly. The so-called "StarCitizen:Esperia Boneyard" (location classified) contains hundreds upon hundreds of used examples in varying states of disassembly. In the wake of the recent attack on StarCitizen:Uriel, many of the Blade trade-ins produced in the past decade are being outfitted for frontier defense use, part of an extremely controversial program aimed at better-arming those threatened by alien attack.
The current crop of Blade spacecraft available was manufactured between StarCitizen:2930 and StarCitizen:2940 under a lease agreement with the United Empire of Earth's military. Per Esperia's Naval contract, Blades have been returned to Esperia's care as more advanced aggressor designs are manufactured at a 1:1 basis. While each of these Blades is already a veteran of StarCitizen:Humanity's war on the Vanduul, each has been restored to factory settings and features a full manufacturer's guarantee.<ref name="ReferenceA" />
