The Glaive is the symmetrical version of the Vanduul Scythe, with two huge blade-wings instead of one, better armed and flown by the most experienced Vanduul. This model is a human reproduction by Esperia.

📜 Its history

Long a rumour, the Glaive (its Navy designation) now appears more and more often. First attributed to one notorious Vanduul ace, it actually exists in several clans; analysts believe only top pilots get one, perhaps as a mark of rank.
