The Sword frigates have been a mainstay escort vessel for Battlefleet Calixis ever since it's founding. Every system aboard one of these frigates has been tried and tested in innumerable engagements. It's laser-based weapons and turrets are accurate and hard-hitting, it's plasma drives are rugged and reliable in extreme conditions. Few task forces do not include at least a pair of Swords to guard the flanks of larger vessels or pursue smaller, faster raiders. More than a few Rogue Traders have noticed the stellar performance of these vessels and obtained one. With a few minor conversions to increase holds, Swords suit their needs quite well.
