This article is about the weapon; for the character, see Phasing Sword. |
Phase Swords are the signature weapon of Imperial Callidus Assassins.[1]
These deadly blades utilise ancient Necron[2] technology and are a closely guarded secret. Phase Swords shimmer in and out of phase with reality, allowing it to plunge clean through armour, flesh, and bone as if it wasn't there at all.[1]
The phase swords have a special link to the ancient beings known as the C'tan. A report tells how Jaramshaela, a Callidus assassin, tried to assassinate the heretical Imperial Governor Takis, who later turned out to be the Deceiver. The phase blade was absorbed back into the C'tan and she was flayed alive.[2]
