The Sabre is designed for the dual purposes of peak acceleration and maneuverability in orbital combat, due in large part to a powerful afterburner system. This emphasis on speed and responsiveness enables the Sabre to perform feats that other human single ships cannot accomplish, and even allows the craft to compete favorably with the [[Covenant]]'s more technologically advanced [[Type-31 Seraph|Type-31 Seraph fighter]].
