The Saber class. alternately the Sabre class, was a 24th century Federation starship type, a light cruiser class in Starfleet service from the 2370s decade. It was one of the ship classes commissioned in response to the Battle of Wolf 359 and the threat posed by the Borg Collective. (TOSC Issue 56: "Saber Class")

History and specifications

Side elevation.

One of the smaller starship designs in service, the Saber had a crew complement of approximately 40 people, with a maximum evacuation limit of 200. (DS9 reference: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual)

Produced at Starbase 1, in orbit around Earth, the Saber-class was another project that began after the Federation made its disastrous first contact with the Borg.^{[citation needed]}

Four Saber class vessels were assigned to the Starfleet Corps of Engineers in the year 2370.^{[citation needed]}

Many Saber class vessels fought in the Dominion War. (DS9 reference: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual)

Background

In the DS9 Technical Manual, a typo caused the stats of the Norway-class to be posted again under the Saber listing. Notwithstanding the Technical Manual, Visual Effects Supervisor David Stipes stated^{[citation needed]} the length of 190.5 is generally used onscreen. Decipher and Last Unicorn Games RPG sources put the length at 160 to 170 meters.
