	In the [[Blue Planet]] continuity, the '''''Scimitar''''' is the main fighter of the [[Gaian Effort]], a radical ecoterrorist faction. Although technologically outdated, the Scimitar is highly versatile, being compatible with a vast array of modern weapon systems, allowing it to achieve near parity with [[United Earth Federation]] forces. They are often deployed in large numbers and employ irregular shock tactics in order to compensate for their shortcomings.

	~~{{shipimage\|image=[[Image:scimitar_new.png\|540x360px]]\|caption=The Scimitar fighter}}~~
	~~===Blue Planet: War in Heaven Tech Description===~~
	The Scimitar was a reliable and versatile fighter popular with private military forces and militia. The decline of these groups during the Isolation saw reduced usage of the fighter in core space, but the Scimitar remains in production in the Kuiper Belt workshops of the Gaian Effort. Kostadin Cell in particular favors the Scimitar as a strike fighter due to its ability to carry a wide range of munitions.

	~~===Developer Notes===~~
	~~N/A~~

	~~===Name Origin===~~
	''Scimitar'' is a generic term used to refer to several kinds of curved swords originating from the Middle East. The term ''scimitar'' has disputed origins, ranging from the Middle French ''cimeterre'' to the Persian ''shim-'' or ''shamshir'', which in turn is derived from the Middle Persian ''shafshēr''.
