Following on from our Transporter Room Updates last week, we are returning this week to our amazing ships and specifically, the Federation Sabre (or Saber) Class which was commissioned in the year 2373.
Recreated for Excalibur by our highly talented team member Newman, the work demonstrated in the screenshots below is the result of several weeks of painstaking work, tracking down reference images and then re-creating the design with some creative tweaks here and there as needed. Behind the scenes, the rest of the Excalibur team watched with interest as Newman refined the design more and more, eventually becoming an accurate representation of Alex Jaegar’s (Industrial Light and Magic) Original Design.
On the screen, this ship was featured in Star Trek First Contact against the Borg, as well as several Deep Space Nine Episodes where it was used in heavy combat against the Dominion. Despite its small size, only 360 meters, the ship was always fairly well armed carrying a payload of both Phasers and Photon Torpedoes and even Quantum Torpedoes later on when the ship became favorued by the Starfleet Corp of Engineers.
What we see here is possibly the most detailed Sabre Class Starship ever created, rivalling or even surpassing the original CGI model that was used in the show. Weighing in at 6221 Tri’s, the Sabre Class is a Light Cruiser which accommodates 40 officers and crew with a top warp factor of 9.7.
