Design

The Swordsman-Class Missile Battleship is similar in design to the Hartfordia II-Class Heavy Cruiser, with the bow fitting the Mark IV Magnetic Accelerator Cannon as the primary kinetic weapon as a backup to the ships primary weapons, its missiles.

As a result of its shared development with the Hartfordia II-Class, both ships share a very similar internal structure, with fuel tanks and other systems acting as "Belt" armor behind the external ablative armor

Development

Originally based off of the Hartfordia II-Class Heavy Cruiser, both the Swordsman and Hartfordia II were designed around the same time by Odyssey Aerospace. Originally, both ships started under the Next Generation Battle Line Ship (NGBLS) Program as the same vessel.

Both started under the same design study project, looking to arm the Atreus Aerospace Command with a Battlecruiser-Sized capital ship to accompany the Trinity and Retribution-Class Carriers while being able to engage hostile Second and Third Echelon assets, such as the Sirius-Class and Tekkian Capital ships without risking carrier aircraft if the ship was damaged or destroyed.

However, due to different needs from the AASC, Odyssey's design was divided into two separate classes. With the Hartfordia II emerging as a Heavy Cruiser, and the Swordsman as the AASC's first class of Missile Battleship.
