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.

The vessel behaves like a beast of burden, plodding but reliable. Due to it's plodding behaviour, whenever the crew would gain Profit Factor, reduce the amount gained by 1. However, whenever one of the ship's Components becomes damaged or unpowered, roll 1d10. On a 7 or higher, the ship shrugs off the damage and is ignored.
