Interesting Facts

• The fastest ship in the Cyan Zorth Army.
• Excels in air to air combat against fighters and frigates.
• Extremely agile due to the 4 small support engines in the tail, only fighters can manoeuvre faster, but no other bigger ship.
• Has a powerful main laser and 3 small ones, all manned.
• Has a fully equipped fighter bay for 3 Mosquito fighters.
• Due to the lack of stairs this ship can only support normal Zorths, since the bigger Zorths cannot climb the small ladders.
• Since the ship lacks facilities for even a Zorth officer, the pilot is considered the commander. It's one of the most honored jobs a normal Zorth can have.
• Has no Viscount like the Hawk, but has a large storage of Powercubes
• Because of this the Swordfish doesn't have a hyperdrive, but still has a wide range of operation.
