Description: 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)
