Xiphon Interceptor Squadron

The Xiphon is a combat aircraft capable of operating in and out of the atmosphere, whose origins go back a long way in history. Unique variants of the basic model have been discovered on lost human colonies throughout the galaxy. Powerful and heavily armed, the Xiphon was used less and less on the front lines towards the end of the Great Crusade, but tens of thousands of these neglected aircraft were soon back in service during the Horus Heresy.
