HIMS Broadsword is a Strike-class cruiser launched shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Her frame was assembled at Kuat Drive Yards Assembly-D345 under an agreement with Loronar Corporation. Her modules were constructed at Loronar's main assembly in the Meridian Sector. Final assembly was completed late in 2 ABY. She was christened and launched with her sister vessels HIMS Warhammer and HIMS Flail early in 3 ABY in a ceremony aboard the OS Guardian in the O'paal system. She currently serves as a warship for the Imperial Navy's Task Force Inquisitor.
