Weapons
The replica has a pair of Size 5 "Wrath" Plasma cannons, a pair of Size 1 "Weak" laser cannons as well as pair of Size 4 missile hard-points (each holding a rack of four Size 2 missiles) installed.
Blades
The Glaive is probably most notable for its pair of giant retractable blades that is designed to rip its prey apart.
Stowage
It has the capability to stow up to 250K μSCU of items via an external storage unit.
