====== Sword Class heavy cruiser ======

This is primary new heavy cruiser replacing the admiral class.

It is a very fast and well-protected reactionless drive starship.

It’s designed almost exclusively for ship-to-ship battles,
with a heavy armament of X-ray lasers and missiles, and a
powerful defensive force screen. Its 30,000-ton (SM +11)
streamlined hull is about 150 meters long, with good acceleration
and interstellar performance.
