STARSWORDDYNAMICS

Deck 01

Fleet registry

Six hulls. Tap a card for the long version of the weld.

• SWS-01

  Aetherblade

  Light cruiser

  Length 286 mTop speed 0.42 c

  First hull to carry a stable light-sword along its keel. She opened the inner-spiral lanes and still leads when the fleet burns for a new star.

• SWS-07

  Goldwake

  Carrier

  Length 612 mTop speed 0.18 c

  A cathedral of launch bays. Goldwake does not chase. She wakes a hundred smaller blades and lets them do the cutting.

• SWS-12

  Cyan Needle

  Scout

  Length 94 mTop speed 0.71 c

  Thin, bright, and usually gone before a sensor paints her twice. She maps gravitational wrinkles and leaves one cyan flare when the way is safe.

• SWS-19

  Umbral Keel

  Destroyer

  Length 340 mTop speed 0.33 c

  Built after the Vesper incident to fight in radio silence. Her crew speaks softly. Her keel does not.

• SWS-24

  Lantern Ark

  Colony ark

  Length 1,240 mTop speed 0.09 c

  Not a weapon. A moving city with orchards under amber lamps, escorted whenever the frost belt turns hungry.

• SWS-31

  Vesper Lance

  Interceptor

  Length 61 mTop speed 0.88 c

  The pattern for every trainer in the game deck. One pilot, one beam, and a habit of arriving before the warning does.
