The Stormblade is an adaptation of the Shadowsword which replaces the latter’s volcano cannon with a potent plasma blastgun, enabling it to engage a variety of targets at shorter ranges. The photonic fuel cells and additional heat shielding required to protect the crew and sensitive systems ensures that the only additional weaponry the vehicle can fit are defensive sponsons, capable of keeping smaller foes at bay while the tank’s main weapon destroys more formidable threats.
