Description: designed after the original Sabertooth-class the MCS Sabertooth-class ia a modern variant of the centuries old assault ship.
The Like the Ardent-class, the Sabertooth-class utilize the Delphus 4 shield system giving it a quad layer of overlapping shield generators. It also uses the MCS frame and armor systems making it a very hardened target. With its heavy shielding and quadruple reinforces frame work the class it built to assault large capital vessels. It utilizes its superior defenses and tough hull to close on a target grab it with its heavy Tractor beam projector and then latch onto it with its prow docking arms and boarding harnesses. Once attacked the vessel cuts through the hull and deploys its marine contingent to capture the vessel.
In addition to its Assault capabilities the Sabertooth-class also acts as a rescue and recovery vessel. It can use the same systems to attach itself to an object such as a small station, capital vessel, or small asteroid and move them out of a battle zone where rescue operations can be carried out in safety.
Offensively the vessel is lightly armed and relies on the two turbolaser batteries for its only offensive capabilities. Defensively it has four heavy defense batteries which gives it goos defense frm small capital ships at close range and attack craft but little to no anti-projectile or CIWS protection.
Oversize engines give the class the power needed to move large objects around. These same propulsion systems give the class a higher sub light speed when not moving objects.
