	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}}).

The '''bladeship''' is a remote-controlled fighter craft of [[the Comitat]].

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}}).

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}}).

Integrated within each bladeship is a homing system that allows the ship to find its launch point, despite the interference of the [[Empyrean Expanse]]. Captain [[Apollo (TOS-DE)|Apollo]] has Doctor [[Wilker (TOS-DE alternate)|Wilker]] extricate this device from a damaged bladeship recovered [[Korbok's First Engagement of the Fleet|after a battle]] to integrate it into his own Viper, so as to locate the Comitat forces ({{Comics|classic|2}}).{{Comics Subjects|classic}}
