The '''GTBC ''Blade''''' is the first battlecruiser constructed by the GTVA.

==Description:==

===FOW Tech Room Description===
"The Blade is the first of the next generation class of warships employed by the alliance. The old cruisers carried too little firepower to cope with newer and larger warships, and didn't perform satisfactorily against fighters in most cases either, so a newer and larger class of warships was produced - the battlecruiser. Larger then a cruiser but smaller than a corvette, a battlecruiser combines the best from both. It has enough speed, firepower and armor to be a great asset on the battlefield."

===Developer Notes===
Inspired by Aldo's Orc. I loved it, but wanted something a bit bigger, meaner and more detailed.
