	The Mechanicus also has access to the widowmaker variant of the Cobra. It drops its macro turret for an enhanced sensor suite that increases its sensor range immensely. In this regard, it can serve as a long-distance spotter for other ships, and with its small profile and high speeds, allows it to detect enemies, then zip away out of danger without being seen in return.

	Being an escort, the Sword is expected to come under fire, and so is designed with this in mind. Its bulkheads are thicker than would be expected, and the beams and supports that hold the ship together have redundant copies nearby, that will take the load if the primary beam or support fails. Due to this, the Sword can take more punishment than would be expected for a ship of its diminutive size.

	The pattern's operational successes have tended to be in a defensive, rather than an offensive role where it is used to clear ordnance threats to the more ponderous capital ships, however in a stand-up fight it simply cannot compete with the damage potential of the much more widespread Sword Class Frigate that is found in most fleets ([[Derp\|even though it uses the same guns, has more of them, and has torpedoes whereas the Sword does not]]). It is loosely based on the [[Endeavor-class Light Cruiser\|Endeavour]], [[Endurance-class Light Cruiser\|Endurance]], and [[Defiant-class Light Cruiser\|Defiant]] classes of light cruiser.

	The Hunter-class is armed similarly to the Cobra, but is a little faster, allowing it to react quickly to openings the enemy provides. The vessel is equipped with [[Torpedo]] tubes and a [[Macrocannon\|Macro Turret]]. The same shield and turret array complement found on the Cobra class is fitted on a Hunter-class. The Hunter is also more heavily armoured than a Cobra, providing it with a little more survivability in a combat situation.

	However, like all Space Marine vessels, they lack an armored prow, so don't let this ship get too close to another ship attempting to ram it.		However, like all Space Marine vessels, they lack an armored prow, so don't let this ship get too close to another ship attempting to ram it.

However, its engines are much more powerful than a Firestorm's, making the Nova almost twice as fast as a cruiser of the Imperial Navy. This speed and manoeuvrability allow the Nova class to get to favourable firing positions, deliver the lance armament's bite, and withdraw before the enemy can react to bring their guns to bear on the Nova.

	Just like it’s imperial counterpart the ''Sword''-class is also armed simply, with two double barelled macro turrets to do the Emperor's work. These turrets are also unique in that they are able to fire to both sides, or forward with full strength. This class is a very old design, dating back to the earliest days of the Imperium. All its components have been redesigned, refined to a high level, tried and tested in innumerable engagements.
