Firestorm Frigate
From Lexicanum
The Firestorm Class Frigate is a variant of the Sword Class Frigate. Designed to link the speed and manoeuvrability of an escort, with the bite of a lance. The Sword's systems to power its laser weapons battery have been reconfigured to power the single prow-mounted lance of the Firestorm.1
It is not uncommon to see a squadron of Firestorms supporting independent squadrons of Swords and Cobras. In situations like these, it falls to the Firestorms to deal damage to capital ships, and rival escorts once the other two classes have lowered the enemies shields. Firestorm Class Frigates are often seen fighting alongside Space Marine formations.1
Notable Firestorm squadrons include:
