Saber class

For other uses, see Saber.

The Saber-class (or, alternately, the Sabre-class) was a type of Federation starship, a light cruiser in Starfleet service in the late 24th century.

History and specifications[]

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.
