VANDUUL CRAFT

Vanduul combat craft are shaped around one purpose: overwhelming force. The Scythe defines the raid profile. The Blade leads the first wave. The Glaive and Stinger belong to pilots who have earned them. Together they represent a faction that has never built a ship for anything other than war.

STINGER ACE-LEVEL FIREPOWER

Active for Squadron 42

Durability and deadly force combine in this closely replicated Vanduul powerhouse and Esperia's first heavy fighter, the Stinger. Fortified armor withstands punishment, while a customizable loadout of Human and Vanduul weaponry delivers it back with brutal intent. It is a ship built for dominance at the front of any engagement.

Reserved for veteran pilots

A heavy fighter reserved for veteran Vanduul pilots and senior clan warriors, the Stinger signals rank before it fires a shot.

Heavy weapon posture

Massive fighter proportions and heavy weapon hardpoints place the Stinger at the centre of any engagement, absorbing fire and returning it with overwhelming force.

Predatory symmetry

Its wide, armored stance signals dominance in any engagement before the first shot is fired.

Heavy fighter doctrine

Armor, rank, and lethal force

The Stinger is the heaviest and most imposing Vanduul fighter Esperia has replicated. Reserved within Vanduul culture for ace pilots and high-ranking clan warriors, it carries rank through its silhouette alone. Where other Vanduul craft announce speed or agility, the Stinger announces armored, overwhelming force.

The customizable loadout accepts both Human and Vanduul weapons, giving pilots the option to build around familiar systems or commit fully to the alien firepower the ship was designed around.

Rank and firepower

Reserved within the Vanduul clans for pilots who have proven themselves in sustained combat, the Stinger carries the same rank as the pilot flying it. Esperia's recreation preserves the armored profile and weapon capacity that make it the dominant ship in any engagement.

GLAIVE TWIN BLADE HEAVY FIGHTER

Active for Squadron 42

The Glaive takes the terror of the Scythe and doubles it into a symmetrical heavy fighter with two enormous blade-wings and a more seasoned combat posture. Better armed, more resilient, and unmistakably Vanduul, it is a brutal trophy craft for pilots who want their ship to look as lethal as it flies.

Twin blade silhouette

Twin blade wings give the Glaive a cleaner, more imposing silhouette than the standard Scythe.

Combat veteran standing

A ship associated with experienced Vanduul pilots, the Glaive signals rank and combat record in its silhouette alone.

Heavy fighter appeal

The Glaive's heavier frame and doubled blade profile place it above the Scythe in both armament and presence, a step up in Vanduul combat hierarchy.

Elite combat profile

A fighter earned, not issued

The Glaive is less common than the Scythe among Vanduul forces. It belongs to pilots with more engagements behind them, and the doubled blade silhouette and heavier frame make that standing visible from any angle.

Where the Scythe defines the Vanduul raid profile, the Glaive refines it. The symmetrical frame, heavier weapons capacity, and more resilient hull make it the stronger and rarer fighter form within the same design lineage.

Evolution of the Scythe form

A heavier evolution of the Scythe, the Glaive is built for pilots who have survived engagements that lighter craft could not. It is not the first Vanduul fighter a pilot encounters. It is the one that marks what they have survived.

BLADE FIRST WAVE RAIDER

Active for Squadron 42

The Blade is the Vanduul light fighter built for the opening moments of any engagement. Its shifting wingspan moves from streamlined travel to expanded attack posture: close the distance, open the blades, and strike before a response can form.

Scout and assault

Scout work, opening assaults, and harassment runs across contested space define the Blade's purpose. It is built to arrive fast and hit harder than its size suggests.

Shifting wing geometry

The wing configuration changes between travel and attack postures, giving the Blade a capability that no Human light fighter in the same class matches.

Recognizable history

As one of the most commonly encountered Vanduul combat craft, the Blade is the faction's standard forward presence in any engagement.

Assault doctrine

Compact speed with a cruel edge

The Blade is compact, fast, and built for the first wave. Small enough to outmaneuver heavier craft, it is the lightest and most mobile expression of Vanduul combat design.

Its shifting wing geometry and first-wave assault role make it the faction's forward presence in any engagement, a natural expression of Vanduul combat philosophy at its most agile.

Forward Assault

Fast, compact, and built around the opening moment of contact, the Blade is the faction's first move. Its shifting wing design and light fighter agility put it ahead of heavier craft in every engagement.

SCYTHE ICONIC DOGFIGHTER

Active for Squadron 42

No comfort. No cargo. No compromise. The Scythe is the iconic Vanduul medium fighter, a dedicated dogfighter shaped entirely around combat purpose. With a heavy weapons payload, twin main thrusters, and twelve maneuvering thrusters, it is the purest expression of the Vanduul raid silhouette.

Pure dogfighter

The Scythe carries no cargo, no accommodation, and no secondary role. Combat is its entire purpose, and every system on the ship reflects that commitment.

Thruster-driven agility

Twin main thrusters and twelve maneuvering thrusters give the Scythe its defining combat agility, built for the kind of close engagement the Vanduul favour.

Original icon energy

As the most widely recognised Vanduul combat craft in Human space, the Scythe has appeared in more engagements with UEE forces than any other fighter in the faction's arsenal.

Raid doctrine

The classic nightmare shape

The Scythe is the most recognisable Vanduul combat craft in Human space. Its single-blade silhouette has appeared in border raids, fleet engagements, and first contact scenarios across UEE territory, and it remains the definitive expression of what Vanduul fighter design looks like.

With no secondary role and no compromise built into the design, the Scythe is the Vanduul approach to fighter craft in a single sentence: one blade, one purpose, nothing else.

Raid legacy

Built for one purpose across decades of Vanduul raids into Human space, the Scythe is the combat craft that defines what a Vanduul fighter is. Its weapons payload, thruster count, and combat-only design make it the standard against which every other Vanduul fighter is measured.
