Blade-class Battle Corvette

Devised by Sword shipwrights, the is a tough, reliable corvette, designed for fleet actions. Unlike the escort orientated Victory-class Fast Corvette and the more general purpose Templar-class Heavy Corvette, the Blade-class is a general purpose warship meant for war. With heavy armour, and powerful weapons, and the ability to enhance the coordination and cohesion of nearby vessels through the Serix Augur Array, these vessels represent an fundamental change in Sword strategy and long-term planning, moving to a fleet of war, rather than one of war, conversion, excavation, and tithe collecting, as it once was under the Covenant. 
By shedding the technocratic oversight of the San 'Shyuum, and the illusions of a religious purpose, they have sculpted a weapon only made for war.
