'''Scythe Class Harvest Ships''' are [[Necron]] [[Battlecruiser]]-class{{Fn|3}} starships.

== Overview ==
They appear to be more common than the larger [[Cairn Class Tomb Ships]] and have so far been part of every encounter with [[Imperial]] ships. There are only two classes of Harvest ship, the '''Reaper''' and '''Harvester'''{{Fn|3}} with the primary difference being the addition of a [[Sepulchre]] weapons system on the former. The standard armament of both vessels include [[Lightning Arc]] and [[Particle Whip]] arrays.{{Fn|3}}

The ships appear lightly built compared to Imperial vessels, but this is misleading as they are particularly difficult to destroy. There are only three known instances of the disabling of a Harvest ship, and in each case the firepower of several capital ships was required. They are, with their armament, the equal of all but the largest of the Imperial vessels.

==Known Encounters==
*666.M41 [[Yuctan Incident]]: '''Squadren Farsight''' was destroyed by a fleet containing Scythe Class Harvest Ships.
*962.M41 [[Bora Culpa Incident]]: Scythes were sighted around [[Bora Culpa]], the population of which had vanished when the [[Space Wolves]] performed a reconnaissance mission.
*992.M41: The [[Orphean War]]{{Fn|2}}

==Known Vessels==
*[[Zodiac's Fury]] - Personal craft of [[Orikan the Diviner]]{{Fn|4}}
