Swiftdeath Fighter
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Swiftdeath Fighter are common Chaos Fleet Attack Craft.[1]
These two-man fighters are ancient designs which are still favored by the fleets of Chaos for their flexibility and agility. They represent the eternal nemesis of the Imperial Navy Fury Interceptor. Against Fury's, Swiftdeath fighters are more fragile and lightly armed with 3 Plasma Cannons and 6 Hunter-Killer Missiles. Swiftdeaths are able to perform competently in atmosphere as well as in space.[2]
During the Gothic War, Swiftdeaths were invaluable in defending against the Imperials' massive torpedo volleys.[1]
