As per recent revelations at Memory Alpha's Sabre page, it has been discovered and referenced that the ship's designer/creator calls it the Sabre class, NOT the Saber class. The aticle can be found here, at Doug Drexler's web page/blog.
I'm not altering all this right away so as to give time for discussion first, if any is felt necessary. Commander, Starbase 23 04:25, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

- Looks like this supposed 'revelation' amounts to a whole lot of nothing. You were right not to edit. The 'Sabre' class name is definitely in the minority. -- Captain MKB 05:22, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
- It's a difference in American versus British spelling. Which is what it appears the M-A discussion has been touching on, although it does point out several sources using the "-er" version. Looks like an interesting discussion to follow. --Savar 15:03, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
- As with MA, we default to American English in most cases, because Star Trek is an American creation. The canon designers' intentions could in fact be used to influence our writing, but not when overridden by such a large variety of other sources. - Captain MKB 19:21, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
