Originally designated as the YSS-1000 Sabre during the prototyping phase,{{Ref/NoteReuse|YSS}} this fighter was designed in partnership by [[Ushuaia Armory]] and [[Misriah Armory]] to compete in the [[Emergency Defense Fighter|Emergency Defense Fighter initiative]] against the [[S-930 Pegasus project|Pegasus project]]{{Ref/Site|Id=CFDigsite|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-digsite-dissection|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Digsite Dissection|D=28|M=07|Y=2023}}, 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.<ref name="WFCarriers">''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', ''Carriers'', p. 40-41</ref> 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{{Ref/Reuse|e3}}<ref>''[[Halo: Reach Official Strategy Guide]]'', p. 437</ref> without the use of [[Mass driver|asynchronous linear-induction]], [[Fusion drive|nuclear technology]],{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} or other traditional means of surface-to-orbit transit.

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]]. The Sabre is capable of performing complex [[wikipedia:Aileron roll|aileron rolls]], [[Wikipedia:Split S|Split S]] maneuvers, and [[Wikipedia:Immelmann turn|Immelmann turns]].{{Ref/Reuse|LNoS}} The starfighter's engines are maintained and repaired by [[engine service module]]s in [[UNSC Sabre engineering facility|Sabre engineering facilities]] inside orbital [[refit station]]s. The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Aviator]] helmet is recommended for use by Sabre crew members,<ref name="h4evg">''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', p. 147</ref> and the [[Mariner]] helmet is optimised for Sabre flight systems alongside those of the [[F-29 Nandao|Nandao]] and [[S-14 Baselard|Baselard]] fighters.{{Ref/Game|MCC|Mariner helmet description}}
