	To cover hyperspace capable fighters, just look for some of the
Star
Wars rules that have been floating around. As for Broadswords, they can
use
a modification of the CoW rules for Shadow fighters. I don't know who
came
up with these but his e-mail address is tsmccart@ewd.dreo.dnd.ca:

	"Shadow fighters are Mass 3 and have just a single damage box
but
can only be targeted by other fighters, PDAF and ADAF weapons all of
which
need a '6' to kill them. They move as fighters and attack with a plasma
ball
which has a range of 6" and causes D3 damage to the enemy ship, modified
by
the universal (range) modifiers. Enemy fighter groups simply lose a
fighter
each turn they dogfight or are fired upon by a Shadow fighter."

	If you ask me that pretty much covers superheavy fighters like
Broadswords exactly.
