Yes, you read right: "S-A-B-R-E," the brittish spelling. So nya nya nya! *LOL*
I am in need of information on the Sabre. I am looking namely for information from the fact files, the cut-away picture, and anything else that you folks could help me with. I have collected already much information on the Sabre, however this is largely conjecture and/or conflicting canon information.

Yeah, I know, it is the proper spelling. I was laughing because many people around here like to call it the "Saber." Anyhow, my request for some help still stands. Thanks.

Not to instigate a flamewar, but I also like to favor sabres, metres, calibres and such. As for right and wrong, it's more a matter of new and old. And since english often tend to spell things differently than they sound anyway, I've gotten used to 're'. It is also more aesthetically pleasing.
About the Sabre, I hope you've knocked a few apocrypha regarding her. Early in her existence, the rumour was spread that she had two warpcores, quantum torpedoes and two tricobalt devices in storage. Of course, UP said that about every ship in their inventory, I don't know why. Regardless, I think you can exclude those from your database...

Seeing as how the encyclopedia has it listed both ways, I'm not sure I see the source for feelings of superiority in this matter.

Might as well add that us Canucks do the same thing.
