Broadsword-class Medium Frigate

The Broadsword is an older TSF Frigate design. When the civil war broke out, Broadswords ended up in many colonial navies. Broadswords are less common than Kowloons. However they were intended to be warships from the time they were designed. Broadswords are far better at combat roles than the Kowloons. Broadswords can also take alot of damage, comparatively. Similarly to the Kowloon, there are CQB variants (CQB being a relative term in space). CQB variants are armed with close combat in mind (obviously).
