Standard Complement: 5 Shuttlecraft & 2 Shuttlepods Location(s): Saucer Forward & Engineering Aft Captain's Yacht: NoDescription & Notes Another product of the Perimeter Defense Directive, the Saber-class Light Cruiser is slightly smaller than the Defiant-Class Heavy Escort, & in fact owes much much of its design (including its internal warp nacelle configuration) to the Defiant Development Project. Since it lacks the traditional pylon configuration, its Engineering Hull is smaller than on most ships of its type, & the ship has a smaller target profile. (On the other hand, a warp core breach will cause more damage to the ship than normal because of this arrangement; increase damage from a warp core breach by 20%). Its size & correspondingly light armament also make it quick & easy to produce. Most Saber-class ships are assigned to hostile frontier patrol, combat support, & escort duties. Some ASDB officers have suggested that with the addition of ablative armor, heavier armament (including pulse phaser cannons), & stronger shields (plus correspondingly more powerful warp engines for the necessary Power), the Saber-class could become a powerful frontline fighting vessel. Starfleet Command is currently considering their proposal. Noteworthy vessels/service records/encounters: USS Saber, prototype; USS Yeager, NCC-61947, defended Earth against the Borg in 2373 (not to be confused with the Yeager class of Vessels); USS Shepard, NCC-62079, assigned to perimeter action duties in the Sol Sector 2373 to 2374, destroyed in Breen attack on Earth in 2375; USS Denmark, NCC-69531, currently assigned to frontier patrol. Also in service, USS Luxembourg, NCC-68749; USS Arian, NCC-68993; USS Triumph, NCC-71232.
