Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide
An extremely fast but somewhat less maneuverable Starfighter, the Republic Fleet Systems Star Saber XC-01 is a sleek, low-profile ship that comes into common usage during the Great Sith War. Though these ships can reach high speeds in a matter of seconds, the Star Saber is somewhat sluggish in it's response, and lacks the maneuverability of other Starfighters of the time. After rough initial test runs, the Starship's production is almost halted. However, the need for more firepower necessitates the snubfighter's production even though the design is never perfected.
The weapons of the 13-meter-long Star Saber are a significant advancement over those of other Starfighters of the time. Nevertheless, the Republic authorizes the sale of these snubfighters to civilians in an attempt to recoup losses associated with the design of the Star Saber. The Star Saber is used by Force-sensitive Pilots- particularly Jedi- because their quick reflexes make up for the limited maneuverability of the fighter, gaining an edge in firepower that Pilots of other ships lack. The Star Saber is one of the few civilian Starfighters to be used through the end of the Jedi Civil War, though Republic Fleet Systems ceases production of the Star Saber when the Aurek Tactical Strikefighter begins coming off of assembly lines.
