Similar in scale to the [[Colonial]] [[Viper (TOS-DE alternate)|Viper]] and its opposite number, the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS-DE alternate)|Raider]], bladeships are the interception craft deployed by [[Comitat frigate|Comitat frigates]]. Unlike these counterparts, bladeships use energy weapons capable of incapacitating organisms and ships for capture as part of their creed against harming life ({{Comics|classic|0}}—{{Comics|classic|3|short=y}}). Such weapons can also be used in destructive applications ({{Comics|classic|5}}). | Similar in scale to the [[Colonial]] [[Viper (TOS-DE alternate)|Viper]] and its opposite number, the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS-DE alternate)|Raider]], bladeships are the interception craft deployed by [[Comitat frigate|Comitat frigates]].

Bladeships | Bladeships can be used for containment to great effect, [[Korbok's First Engagement of the Fleet|demonstrating this ability]] by swarming ''[[Galactica (TOS-DE alternate)|Galactica]]''<nowiki/>'s outer [[launch tube]] paths to prevent the launch of Vipers ({{Comics|classic|1}}). | ||
Remotely controlled by [[Thane (title)|Thanes]] from frigates or other command ships, bladeships reduce the loss of life by not being controlled by pilots housed in said craft ({{Comics|classic|0}}-{{Comics|classic|1|short=y}}). This also allows the ships to be used as weapons themselves, impaling into their targets and delivering a powerful electro-magnetic pulse, thus disabling the ship for later boarding and recovering of persons of interest aboard ({{Comics|classic|2}}). | Remotely controlled by [[Thane (title)|Thanes]] from frigates or other command ships, bladeships reduce the loss of life by not being controlled by pilots housed in said craft ({{Comics|classic|0}}-{{Comics|classic|1|short=y}}).
