The modified Daemon cruiser Stiener Sword is the flagship of Admiral Nathan Bau, and by extension, the Yaeger fleet. For all that, the Stiener Sword is a rather unprepossing craft, painted a low visability black with a small Yaeger star insignia. Inside, the ship is nowhere near as impressive looking as one of Rulduk's Warlord class Star Destroyers, but it is just as well designed for command functions.

The Stiener Sword is equipped with a local wideband holoprojector of great power, and a large number of anti-jamming devices. In addition, the craft has a hardwired linkage with the sensor arrays of the other ships of the Yaeger fleet, and Admiral Bau can summon up the data that any of his craft are receiving, and see the battle from their perspective. Admiral Bau in particular finds this an incredibly useful function, as it enables him to do something like coordination of the essentially chaotic Yaeger tactics.

Because this is the flagship of the Yaeger fleet, it is kept immaculate, and crewed by some of the most capable members of the Yaeger navy. However, because of Admiral Bau's personality, the ship has none of the frills associated with flagships, and is in fact slightly less luxurious than the other cruisers of this class. The vessel itself is captained by Captain Johan Kaib, who is officially in full command of his own vessel, though he did once come to fisticuffs with Admiral Bau over battle operations of the ship. Captain Kaib was in the right, and could have pressed charges, but as Admiral Bau did save the ship, and win the battle, he wisely let it slide.
