[[ImageFile:PhaseSwordColor.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A Phase Sword]]
'''Phase Swords''' are the signature weapon of [[Imperial]] [[Callidus Assassin]]s.{{Fn|1}}
These deadly blades utilise ancient [[Necron]]{{Fn|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.{{Fn|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.{{Fn|2}}
