The Iron Saber

TC-SIF-01-Iron-Saber | Tortoise Clan Defense Engineering

Heavy Space Interceptor | Small Grid Fighter

The Iron Saber is a fast, well armed, and resilient dogfighting machine. Its armaments can shred through even the most armored and shielded fighter craft, and its speed and shielding easily resist the fire from enemy squads. While less suitable for assaulting capital ships, the Iron Saber is an excellent all-around fighter for interception, base defense, and carrier assaults.

The Iron Saber was developed as a response to increasingly fast starcraft from Void Clan. After the Reptile platform proved too slow for Void Clan's upgraded starfighters, The Iron Saber was born from the forges of TCDS and proved to be the best option for keeping Void Clan's ships away from precious resources and sensitive bases.
