== History == |
|||
For some decades, [[UEE|United Empire of Earth]] aggressor squadrons have operated replica Blade fighters produced under exclusive contract by [[Esperia Inc.]] These spacecraft, produced in great quantity, have been used to train generations of fighter pilots for [[Vanduul]] engagements. Today, [[Esperia]] manufactures [[Scythe (replica)|Scythe]] and [[Glaive (replica)|Glaive]] clones for training and testing purposes, with most former Blades having been returned to the manufacturer for storage and disassembly. The so-called "[[Esperia Boneyard]]" (location classified) contains hundreds upon hundreds of used examples in varying states of disassembly. In the wake of the recent attack on [[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 [[2930]] and [[2940]] under a lease agreement with the [[UEE|United Empire of Earth]]'s military. Per Esperia's [[UEE Navy|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 [[Human]]ity's [[Vanduul War|war on the Vanduul]], each has been restored to factory settings and features a full manufacturer's guarantee.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> |

Revision as of 23:54, 25 May 2023
The Esperia Blade is a Vanduul light fighter replica produced by Esperia for military use. They are often used for training for the UEE pilots.[1] The maneuverability of the Blade is beyond anything else out there which makes up for its lacking armor.[2][3]
Features
- Versatile Fighter: The vehicle can serve multiple fighter roles from an advance scout to an escort fighter, as an interceptor or even an independent skirmisher.
- Trainer: The spacecraft for ideal for aggressor training operations.
- Weapons: The replica has a pair of Size 3 "Warlord" plasma cannons, a pair of Size 2 "Wasp" laser cannons as well as a pair of Size 3 missile hard-points (each holding a rack of four Size 1 missiles) installed.
