 The Shortsword shares a similar design to the [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] interceptor, though it is less angular than the latter. It features elongated primary wings as well as smaller wings attached to a large boom apparatus at the rear of the fuselage. A large air intake is mounted on the dorsal surface of each wing; pronged structures, possibly ailerons, are located at the rear tip of each wing. Though the B-65 is designed to provide suborbital air support, it is capable of at least rudimentary space flight; Shortswords are often deployed from parent vessels in low orbit.
-The Shortsword is typically armed with conventional bombs for performing [[carpet bombing]] runs, though it sometimes carries less conventional munitions such as a single [[cryo bomb]]. Bombers equipped with the [[Maastricht/Raleigh Ordnance Delivery-Application System|M/RODAS delivery system]] can release an [[XGBU-302 bomb|XGBU-302 disruption bomb]]. When releasing its payload, the Shortsword "punches" its munitions into the ground; the munitions then explode a short time later. As the bombs detonate in the order in which they are dropped, carpet bombing runs carried out by the Shortsword resemble twentieth-century napalm strikes.
