===Blue Planet: War in Heaven Tech Description===
 
The Scimitar has remained one of the most popular and effective civilian fighters for over 60 years. Whilst expensive to use and operate, it boasts performance approaching that of a Hercules or Ulysses class military fighter.  Scimitars tend to be mostly used by the more 'legit' mercenary or militia groups, and are often seen providing hired escort for high-value transports or freighters. These groups largely vanished during the Isolation, but the Scimitar remains in production in the Kuiper Belt workshops of the Gaian Effort, and this paramilitary group uses it as a strike fighter.

==Veteran Comments==
 
{{Comment|''The Scimitar's stats may look like shite compared to even the entry-level [[UEF Uhlan]], but don't get cocky. These fighters can carry the standard UEF primaries, including the anti-subsystem Scalpel, as well as torpedoes; the lower bank, in particular, can mount nearly every single UEF missile available to the player. In large numbers and in the right hands, the Scimitar can and will give even the most formidable battlegroups something to worry about. The Gaian Effort loves to attack targets simply by overwhelming them with a ludicrous number of these ships, and although this tactic works less effectively against military targets, it will at least inflict nosebleed even to a [[GVD Hatshepsut|Hatshepsut destroyer]] or vessels escorted by the [[Knights of the White Brotherhood]].''}}
