'''''Sword of Defiance{{PAGENAME}}''''' was a [[Strike Cruiser]] in the [[Dark Angels]] [[Chapter]]. It was commanded by [[Fourth Captain|Fourth Master]] [[Korahael]] when it took part in defending [[Cadia]] during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]]. The Strike Cruiser was shot down during the invasion, but crashed intact on the [[Fortress World]] and was able to still fire upon the [[Despoiler]]'s forces while serving as a base of operations for Korahael's Company. This came to an end, however, when it was repeatedly struck by fire from the [[Death Guard]]'s battleship ''[[Terminus Est]]'', which spread diseases throughout the ''Sword of Defiance'' that even the Dark Angels' bodies could not combat. As a result, the Company was forced to abandon the Strike Cruiser{{Fn|1a}}, and it was later destroyed when the Despoiler's invasion caused Cadia to explode.{{Fn|1b}}
