Yakaiev YA-500 Saber Space Superiority Fighter![]() Viper Mk XIII from Battlestar Galactica Name: Saber Space Superiority Fighter Designation: YA-500 Manufacturer/Designer: Yakaiev Design Bureau Operator: Thyserian Royal Navy Availability: Exclusive Year Built: 2300-Prototype 2305-IOC in the Thyserian Royal Navy 2307-Mass Production begins 2346-Mass Production halted, sporadic production periods to present.

Description: The pinnacle of the design pioneered by the Scimitar, the Saber outdoes many Citadel based fighters and practically anything in the Terminus. The Saber is sleek, well armed, and dedicated completely to air to air combat. While not as stylish as the Zero, the Saber certainly has a unique style all its own, while maintaining the distinct look that fighters from Thysera have become known for. One feature that's noticeable is a return to the Scimitar's style of canopy rather than maintaining the Zero's sleek design. In addition, cooperation with Empire General Assembly has resulted in a well armed fighter, as the Saber was designed with EGA components and armor from the ground up. Cooperation between the vassal and overlord states has resulted in a nimble, well armed fighter that is able to take plenty of abuse from enemy fighters and anti-air. The Saber is a key piece in modern fighter doctrine for the Queendom of Erineos and the skilled pilots flying these aircraft support Krogan aircraft during engagements with great efficiency. The fighter's production line may currently be halted, but the tooling and line remains ready to create more of these fearsome fighters whenever they are needed.
