I suppose you're right. Swords are about as popular as they are today; used more for ceremony and as a wall mount for rich collectors. I'm not big on swords being used as a primary weapon in a world where everyone has a gun which can rip you limb from limb and there are Orbital defences which can put a round through an invading capital ship, just logic really. :sun I can see their merit in close quarters though, and with an ancient organization such as the Knights Templar it is only right they have their own piece of history.
