Ghost Sword

This article is about the Salveged Xenos blades. For other uses of Ghostsword, see Ghostsword (disambiguation).

Ghost Swords are deadly blades used as trophies or weapons, of fine but clearly Xenos craftsmanship. They are lightweight but stronger than any Imperial steel, possess a power field and are especially good for defending against attacks. The name does not refer to a specific sword but rather given to a common style found on many newly explored worlds in the Calixis Sector and beyond, often amongst ancient battlefields. Many have been linked to known alien cultures, but some resist clear identification. Despite warnings from the Adeptus Mechanicus and Inquisition, some bold Rogue Traders wear these weapons in open scabbards to show off their independence and prowess as explorers.^[1]
