Scale 1:3000Firestorm-class Frigate
The Imperial Firestorm-class Frigate is a relatively recent creation within the Imperial Navy's
Battlefleet Obscurus, designed to combine the manoeuverability of an Escort-sized warship with
the firepower of Lance armaments. To achieve this, the Firestorm is based on the hull of the
Sword-class Frigate with a major reworking of the Sword's laser battery cores to direct power
towards a single, massive starship-grade Lascannon mounted on the prow. The Firestorm’s design
was an overall success, but only five squadrons’ worth could be fielded by the Imperial Navy
during the Gothic War
Notable Firestorm Squadrons
Gold Squadron - Gold Squadron was one of five Firestorm squadrons that fought in the Gothic
War, spending most of the conflict badly understrength, as was usually the case for Firestorm
squadrons in that conflict. Gold Squadron's most notable action was during the Battle of Veras,
when its two starships intercepted a full-strength squadron of Chaos Infidel-class Raiders that
were attempting to flank Gold Squadrons main fleet. During the ensuing skirmish, three Infidels
were destroyed at the cost of just one Firestorm, an exchange that bought the Emperor-class
Battleship Intolerance enough time to finish its launching of twenty-four bomber squadrons
against the Chaos Desolator-class Battleship Eternity of Pain.
Costa Barbarus Patrol - A notable Firstorm Frigate Squadron that fought during the Third
War for Armageddon
Lexus Squadron - A notable Firstorm Frigate Squadron that fought during the Third War for
Armageddon
Patrol Group Erinyes - A notable Firstorm Frigate Squadron that fought during the Third War
for Armageddon.
Novem Squadron - Novem Squadron was a four-ship Firestorm squadron that fought during the
Taros Campaign. It was nearly wiped out fighting the Tau Or'es El'leath-class Battleship. One
notable vessel was the Celaeno, which saw action alongside elements of the Blood Angels Space
Marine Chapter's Sth Company during the defence of the Cemetery World of Cybele against a
Chaos Fleet of the Word Bearers Traitor Legion. When the Chaos fleet arrived in-system, the
Celaeno boldly stood its ground, surviving long enough to send out a desperate distress call
before being destroyed with all hands by the Chaos vessel Dirge Eterna
Retaliator Group - Fairly new additions to Retaliator Group, the Nameless Saint, Just
Persecution and Reaver’s Dismay were constructed and commissioned to replenish the Vanguard
squadron, a trio of Sword-class Frigates that had formed part of the group since its creation
Having served in the Angevin Crusade, the original Vanguard squadron was destroyed by Ork ram
ships during the Battle for Port Wander. Its replacements consisted of Firestorm-class frigates,
2 comparatively recent development, made in the centuries before the Gothic War, and which
didn’t exist during the founding of the Calixis Sector. The Firestorms of the replenished Vanguard
squadron were the first ships of their kind to be introduced to Battlefleet Calixis, and their
successful use heralded the widespread introduction of this class to the sector fleet. Their
effectiveness against raiders and frigates makes them ideal for patrols and raids.
Vengeful - The Vengeful fought during the Gothic War. As the sole survivor of its once three
ship-strong patrol after the Battle of Helia IV, the Vengeful also participated in the evacuation
of the planet Belatis, which had become a target for Abaddon the Despoiler’s Planet Killer
