		+	36 Medium Missile Cells are also mounted on the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class, with 8 of them being mounted dorsally just in front of the Heavy Anti-Ship missile cells, with12 other cells mounted ventrally directly under. The majority of the medium missile compliment are mounted in two rows ventrally amidships, with 11 missile cells in two rows for a total of 22 cells, bringing the total to 40.

		+	=== Sensors and Self-Defense Systems ===
		+	Much of the sensor suite and Self-Defense systems were taken from the '''''Trinity'''''-Class Heavy Carrier, including the M4435 Narrow-Band Scanner with Data-link capabilities, typical for the majority of AASC vessels. Similar to ships of her size, Space Defense Operations are overseen by the Space Defense Officer (SDO) ranking Lieutenant (O-3) but is carried out and executed by the [[GM-04]] "Fury" Space Defense Missile, and [[AN/SLX-15 "Harpy"]] Automatic Missile Identification and Interception System (AMIIS).

However, due to complications in securing shipyard space at [[New Comberth]], the construction of the two '''''Swordsman'''''-Class Battleships were delayed, allowing the four '''''Hartfordia II''''' Heavy Cruisers to be built first. Following the completion of all four Heavy Cruisers in late 2197, the two Battleships, named ''Swordsman'' and ''Fatal Spell'' were laid down in January of 2198 and were fully commissioned in December of 2199, entering the fleet officially soon after.

		⚫	At the time, lacking a heavy orbital combatant, the AASC was interested in the design originally for both its Capital Ship contract, and its still pending Heavy Cruiser contract. However, due to different needs from the AASC, Odyssey's design was divided into two separate classes, one focused on being versatile to support both Task Forces and Task Units effectively with the '''''Hartfordia II''''' emerging as the AASC's new Heavy Cruiser. While the other was focused on Capital-on-Capital combat and as a Flagship, with the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class entering service as the AASC's first class of Missile Battleship.
