===Armament===

The primary armament of the Sabre consists of two forward facing gun. It uses two  M1024 ASW/AC 30mm MLA cannons, rapid fire coilguns intended to rapidly pulverise and destroy armoured targets. Typically, these weapons are usually loaded with a mixture of Kinetic Core Penetrator (Tungsten Carbide) and Kinetic Penetrator Incendiary rounds, in a 4:1 mixture. This gives it excellent damage against shielding and armour, allowing it to incur significant amount of damage in a short space of time. 

The Sabre is also fitted with two medium cyclic launchers. These are carried internally and are fired through the hatches on the port and starboard side of the craft. These have five pylons, and can carry two Gorgon/Quicksilver SRAAM missiles per pylon, or a single Copperhead BVRAAM or Snakebite AELRAAM per pylon, giving it a wide choice of munitions for engaging hostile craft. It can also carry the deadly Spectre-class anti-ship missile, air to ground missiles, cruise missiles, small nuclear charges and bombs. While classified as an Interceptor, this allows it to threaten capital ships. 

The Sabre also has 4 external medium pylons, which are equipped at the cost of it's stealth profile. These can carry a variety of ordnance for combat, or even electronic warfare pods for support operations. 

As a defensive weapon against pursuing aircraft, the Sabre has a pair of [[SUBTERFUGE Mine Dispenser]], capable of launching five mines from the rear of the ship, which actively monitor the IFF of the incoming contact, and detonate proximity based explosions, capable of knocking down shielding of pursuing craft, or destroying unshielded aircraft outright.
