Changes

The '''Firestorm Class Frigate''' is a varient variant of the [[Sword Class Frigate]]. Designed to link the speed and manoverability manoeuvrability 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 independent squadrons of Swords and [[Cobra Class Destroyer|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.

Took part in the [[Battle of Veras]].;Lexus Squadron:Seen during the [[Third War for Armageddon]], [[.;Patrol Group Erinyes:Seen during the [[Third War for Armageddon]] and [[.;Costa Barbarus Patrol:Seen during the [[Third War for Armageddon]].
