The Firestorm Class Frigate is a varient of the Sword Class Frigate. Designed to link the speed and manoverability of an escort, with the bite of a lance. The Sword's systems to power its laser weapons battery have been reconfigured to power the single prow-mounted lance of the Firestorm.
It is not uncommon to see a squadron of Firestorms supporting independant squadrons of Swords and Cobras. In situations like these, it falls to the Firestorms to deal damage to capital ships, and rival escorts once the other two classes have lowered the enemies shields.
Battle noted squadrons of Firestorms include Gold Squadron, Lexus Squadron, Patrol Group Erinyes and Costa Barbarus Patrol
