Editing Adeptus Astartes Fleet (section)

===Escorts===

*'''Gladius Rapid Strike Frigate:''' A modified version of the Sword-class, used by the [[Space Marines]] as an escort for their strike cruisers. Has 20% more powerful engines than a Sword, making it more mobile, which suits the Marines strategy perfectly. [[Matt_Ward|No prizes for guessing]] [[Ultramarines|why it's called the Gladius.]]
*'''Nova Rapid Strike Frigate:''' A super-special version of the Firestorm for the Marines. As Lance armed ships are optimised for fighting other ships instead of attacking planets, the Navy considers the Nova to infringe on its turf and gets uppity when a Chapter has too many, thus they are uncommon.
*'''Hunter Destroyer:''' A Space Marine [[Original character, do not steal|knockoff]] of the Cobra. Mostly used by the [[Dark Angels]] as <s>their mistrust of other factions means they can't acquire actual Cobras or [[Fallen Angels|ask the Navy for help.]]</s> {{Blam|+++the Dark Angels simply do not want to bother the Navy with their hunt for traitors with no connection to the First Legion}}
