- [Source] The Star Saber XC-01 starfighter was an experimental fighter produced by Republic Fleet Systems, and tested by Jedi pilots during the Great Sith War. Long, sleek craft, the single-seat starfighters nonetheless were equipped with hyperdrives. Although the ships were capable of swift acceleration, their low maneuverability-to-speed ratio and slow control stick reaction gained them a reputation as dangerous and unwieldy craft. Heavy blaster cannons and deflector shields gave the Star Saber more offensive and defensive capabilities than contemporary fighters, however, and the Galactic Republic pressed the craft into service despite their design flaws. From their initial combat mission against the Krath stronghold of Cinnagar until the retirement of their line with the advent of the Aurek-class tactical strikefighter, the Star Saber was largely flown by Jedi, who could compensate by using the Force for the fighter's design flaws, which were never corrected.
- At 13 meters in length, the Republic Fleet Systems Star Saber XC-01 starfighter was long, low, and sleek. Protruding from the narrow hull were two wings fitted with weapons outriggers; two fins emerged from the tail of the craft, above the two engines. A military snubfighter available to civilians only through regulated sales, the Star Saber was equipped with deflector shields and two heavy blaster cannons—weapons that were significant improvements over those of the fighter's contemporaries. A single-seat craft, with 45 kilograms of cargo capacity,[2][3] the fighter nonetheless was equipped with a Class 2.0 hyperdrive and a week's worth of consumables. While the Star Saber was quite fast at sublight speeds, capable of attaining 1,100 kilometers per hour in atmosphere,[1][4] and accelerating to such speeds in only seconds, the craft was ungainly and not nearly as maneuverable as other fighters of its period—Krath CX-133 Chaos fighters could outmaneuver them with ease. However, due to the needs of the time, the Galactic Republic pressed the fighters into service, despite knowing their flaws.
- The Star Saber XC-01 Starfighter was one of the first dedicated starfighters of the Galactic Republic, introduced around the time of the Great Sith War. Despite some problems with its design, the vessel served faithfully until the superior Aurek Tactical Strikefighter took over the Star Saber's role. The Republic Engineering Corporation, using the same line of thinking that saw them reintroduce the Aurek, also did the same for the Star Saber. Realizing, however, that the Star Saber wasn’t that popular of a fighter even in its own time, the company wisely marketed it as a cheap solution for credit-conscious governments and organizations. Indeed, at a paltry 60,000 credits, the Star Saber is one of the most affordable starfighters available; comparable to the ubiquitous TIE Fighter. The Star Saber design sold by REC is a near-perfect replica of those used by Galactic Republic. Aside from some updates to bring it up to par with modern starfighters, the ship handles and behaves much like its historical brethren, up to and including using hardpoints for warheads instead of a launcher. Although the Star Saber has a tough time competing against most modern starfighter designs in space, it fares much better when it enters atmosphere. In fact, thanks to its improved performance in an atmosphere and its easily modifiable warhead load, via its hardpoints, the Star Saber has found a successful niche previously unintended by either the Galactic Republic or REC as a tank killer. Despite this success, REC has not raised its price.
