<b>Specific Notes: </b><br>

During the SFMC 25th Century Project, it was noted 
that many factors limited scanning and transport beam 
from ships to surface, including ionic interference 
and enemy jamming. Further, need for forward troop 
insertions and support, as well as the need of Starfleet 
in general for a greater range of small craft options 
called for new approaches to small vessel's. <br>
A purpose built vehicle was designed for the SFMC 
in a competition that began in 2399 between several 
off road vehicle companies. The end result was the 
Chesworth-FMC 'Sabre' Recon Speeder, a cutting edge 
Anti Grav Skimmer. With its tough hull and Polyduranide 
armor, adequate shielding and good self defense weapons, 
the Sabre was fast and tough of enough to avoid most 
fights, and fight until it could escape, <br>
Special composites and sound suppression technology 
were incorporated into it's construction. Up to speeds 
of Mach 1, the Saber is both silent and stealth capable. 
At speeds above Mach 1, silence is lost, and above 
Mach 2, energy output is too great and the ship will 
read on sensors. <br>
Using techniques and protocols set by Runabout Development, 
the Saber was given the capacity to add specific mission 
modules for humanitarian, defensive and scientific 
purposes. With its flat cargo/module bay empty, the 
speeder is capable of evacuating 2 stretcher casualties 
and a single corpsman to a field hospital in a short 
time, or carrying Fire Team/Work Crews of 6 equipped 
personnel. <br>
<br>
Current Modules include-<br>

-Electronic Warfare/Jamming<br>
-Fire Support Modules include: <br>
- Twin Support Phaser Turret. <br>
- Forward facing twin Mini Photon Torpedo tubes<br>
<br>
More modules for Scientific, Humanitarian, and Defense, 
and more specific variants are under development or 
can be developed by Engineers and Science Officers 
on Starships and Bases. <br>

It's only drawbacks are its need to be transported 
to surface by a Large Cargo transporter or Stallion 
Heavy Load Runabout, and its high maintenance requirements. 
Pending final review in late 2404, it has been made 
available Fleetwide. </p>
