The Scimitar is a Landing Craft, which can serve as an alternative transportation choice to the Liset. It comes with the Carpet Bomb Ability, dropping bombs in a line from the player's position to their Air Support Charge's position.

Notes

• The barrage deals 250  Impact damage.
• The explosions of the barrage will Knockdown and Ragdoll most enemies (more testing is needed).

Trivia

• The Scimitar appears to resemble a manta ray or stingray. Alternatively, the Scimitar may have been inspired by stealth bombers such as the B-2 Spirit, both in form and function.
  • Additionally, the Scimitar has unique flying sound effects that are much quieter than other Landing Crafts' sound effects. This falls in line with its stealth bomber aesthetics.
• In the game files, the Scimitar is known as the "Blue Sky Ship."
