| − | *Broadsword is rarely seen in Incursion fleets. Thanks to its inherent shield resist bonus and Minmatar T2 ships' resist profile, Broadsword can utilize 5 out of 6 of its utility med slots to help with applying its seemingly unimpressive damage, despite still being a shield tanked ship. This allows Broadsword to deal damage at decent range (2.1+35km) and with far superior tracking speed (~0.2rad/sec) than other Minmatar ships. | + | *Broadsword is rarely seen in Incursion fleets.

Effectively combining the trapping power of interdictors with the defensive capabilities of heavy assault ships, the heavy interdictor is an invaluable addition to any skirmish force, offensive or defensive. Heavy interdictors are the only ships able to use the warp disruption field generator, a module which creates a warp disruption field that moves with the origin ship wherever it goes. SHIP BONUSES
Minmatar Cruiser Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to medium projectile turret rate of fire and 5% bonus to shield resistances per level

Summary
The Broadsword is the Minmatar Heavy Interdictor. It is designed to be heavily shield tanked, and has a large number of mid slots and a hull bonus to help this. The main purpose of the Broadsword is to carry the Warp Disruption Field Generator module, which produces a warp disruption bubble around the ship.
The Broadsword and the Caldari Onyx have the same slot layouts and are almost identical ships, however the shield resist profile on the Onyx is less even than the Broadsword, making it vulnerable to EM damage. As such the Broadsword is slightly preferred, but the Onyx performs almost as well. While the armor tanked Devoter can field a larger tank in terms of raw EHP, a shield tank benefits from passive regeneration, which is important because a HIC using a Warp Disruption Field Generator cannot be remotely repaired and the passive regeneration over the duration of a bubble cycle can amount to tens of thousands of EHP.
