StarCitizen:Glaive (replica)

The StarCitizen:Esperia Glaive is a symmetrical version of the StarCitizen:Scythe reproduced for StarCitizen:Human usage. Generally flown by Vanduul with more combat experience, they are better armed and have two huge blades/wings as opposed to one on the standard Scythe.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Development

2015-08-07	The vehicle was originally sold during a flyable promotion sale back in 2015, limited to only 1000 in numbers.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
2020-06-18	The Glaive along with the rest of the Vanduul fleet were redesigned in 2019 using the design styles of the updated StarCitizen:Kingship interior.<ref name="isc2020-06-18">Inside Star Citizen: Enemy Mine - Spring 2020 on YouTube</ref>
2023-11-01	In StarCitizen:CitizenCon 2023, CIG announced that the owners of the Vanduul ships will get the reworked version without an unspecified date.<ref name="citcon2023">CitizenCon 2953: Talking Ship on YouTube</ref>

Trivia

• The ship gets its name from a particular type of pole weapon, distinguished by a single-edged blade at its tip, known for its distinctive design and versatility in different combat situations. Template:WP
• The Glaive is now obtainable through one of two methods. First, by making a pledge: upon successfully completing up to wave 25 of StarCitizen:Vanduul Swarm in StarCitizen:Arena Commander, your account will be granted the opportunity to purchase the ship from the RSI store during specific limited-time sales held throughout the year.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> Second, through referrals: accumulating 200 Recruitment Points (RP) will result in a Glaive being added to your hangar.
