The Swordfish II is Spike's personal 'baby'. It's described as a 'mono racer' so I guess it was used in something like the future version of the Reno air races. Undoubtedly it would have been modified extensively to make it go even more faster to enable Spike to catch their bounties. Even though the Swordfish II is a racer, its got incredible maneuverability, enabling Spike to beat even Faye's Redtail on several occasions. ^_^ The Swordfish II is armed primarily with it's main gun, the plasma cannon. It packs awesome firepower (shown to good effect on several sessions), but for other jobs such as disabling Spike can use his machine-guns mounted in the wing fences near the wing tips. Not only that, the ship also has under-wing mounted thrusters used either for emergency or to aid in maneuvering. Though not usually equipped with externally-mounted ordnance, the Swordfish II can mount stores on two hard points at the wing tips. In session 9 Jamming with Edward, the ship was equipped with an antenna transmitter and a missile in addition to its standard armaments. The Swordfish II is capable of landing on water(amphibious) . This was shown to good measure in session 2 when Spike rescued Ein as it was falling off the bridge.
