3D Model

Originally designated as the YSS-1000 Sabre during the prototyping phase, this fighter was designed in partnership by Ushuaia Armory and Misriah Armory to compete in the Emergency Defense Fighter initiative against the Pegasus project. It was intended to offer the UNSC a swift, versatile, and lethal defense interceptor that could engage Covenant forces in deep space and low orbit, preventing them from establishing a dominant position before ground engagements. It can be launched vertically from a ground-based launch platforms using a system of seven-stage detachable rockets to propel itself out of a planet’s atmosphere into low orbit without the use of asynchronous linear-induction, nuclear technology, or other traditional means of surface-to-orbit transit. The Sabre also possesses powerful energy shielding technology, which covers all areas of the craft and quickly recharges when depleted. The Sabre’s armament includes twin M1024 30mm autocannons as well as twin-linked ST/Medusa missile pods.
