Sabre Program

"A good place to look might be... I don't know, the nearest nonexistent launch site in the nonexistent Sabre Program, dismissed by three administrations as preposterous rumor... And in which our newest member was certainly never a pilot."

- Kat-320

The Sabre Program was an experimental program conducted by the Office of Naval Intelligence, aiming to develop a well-armed and maneuverable space-superiority starfighter. While the product of the program, the YSS-1000 "Sabre"-class starfighter, never went into active service, several launch sites were maintained which were later used for orbital defense during the Fall of Reach.

The program was classified at the highest levels. According to Kat-320, it was dismissed by three administrations as "preposterous rumor".
