Sword Worlds Bjarki class Light Escort (Military Starship)

The Bjarki class light escort is an old Sword Worlds standard design, originally built on Gram. Currently production of the Bjarki is limited to Narsil, with a large number having been constructed for the Narsil Navy during the Fifth Frontier War. The Bjarki is a typical light escort, centered around a large maneuver drive and armed primarily with missiles.
