Foreword:
Empire of flight is a new neural net distributed magazine reviewing different ships(usually 2 at a time) in a more technical way, than the one you are used to hear.The magazine will come out weekly, there will be special editions for distinguished vessels. From the whole team of the magazine I wish you pleasant reading.

The Sabre is powered by a radial fusion generator directly linked to the main engine. The extreme

cooling of the reactor and the engine allows it boost mind mind dazzling power output. The dampening

exhaust prevents dispersions of the Ion stream instead funneling it to a specific direction, thus giving the

fighter it's excellent turn rate and maneuverability. When the dampening exhausts are active the fighters

follows generally linear spaceflight "nose-front,engine-back" patter, it is a common practice to actually "kill

the engines in flight so the fighter could gain angular momentum. The engine reheaters could restart the

engine in just 1 second making the flight patter much more unpredictable. It is a double bladed sword tough

a cruise disruptor could re-engage the engine reheaters and in term the dampening exhaust turning the

fighter into a sitting duck. The Borderworld's engineers have managed to

ingeniously combine the Supercooler and the intake which runs the entire length of the upper wing. The

grilled surface acts as a radiator in vacuum and directs the air flow during atmospheric flight, the air goes in

the front base of the wing and exits on the back, that feature is also present in other Borderworlds designs

such as the "Dagger". Implementing a small reactor that produces more power generally means more heat

generated, and once that was solved the ship was lighter than most of it's "very heavy" counterparts. It also

meant that the "Z" series could carry up to 70 metric tons of cargo in a container located underneath the

upper hull's cowling. Modifications to the fighter like heavier armor however reduce the cargo capacity by at

least 20 metric tons in order for the fighter to retain it's maneuverability. The border worlds are a

dangerous place, and survival of the pilot means everything, this is reflected in the Sabre as well. The nano

bot tanks are located under the cockpit and life support systems, in case of emergency the cockpit could be

resealed in a matter of milliseconds and ruptured oxygen tank could be resealed in the blink of an eye. At

the front of the fighter lies the electronic equipment the cargo scanner is at the very front right behind it are

the communications and main sensors. Right behind them in the lager part of the nose section lies the

tractor beam. The beam itself is appears to originate from the very front of the fighter this however is not

exactly true, the beam that originates from the emitter is an invisible ray of neutrons which can freely pass

through any surface without risk of tractoring any ships components in. At the very front of the fighter there

is a polarizing targeting matrix, the colored beam originates from there the matrix also encodes the neutron

pattern of the target so a specific object can be tractored in. The targeting modules sit in small antennas at

the top of the fins, the module calculates the velocity and direction of the targeted object so a leading

pointer can appear on the pilots HUD. The weapons system of the Saber are just as lethal as the name of

the fighter in total of 7 forward firing guns the Sabre is never outgunned. The get the power need from

capacitors resting at the base of the gun slots, the capacitors are charged by the reactor, so when other

power consuming systems are engaged (cruise engine for instance) the capacitors could not fully recharge

and the energy stored in them is enough for 3-4 shots at full power. In conclusion hundreds of pages could

be written about this excellent fighter, but one thing is for sure, no matter if you are a freelancer looking for

massive firepower, Hessian, Outcasts or Hacker, the Borderwords Series "Z" Saber is one of sectors top

fighters, it has been and it will be

This bird might look like it just rolled of the fashion exhibit but don't be fooled by the looks, this beauty can

bite, and it can bite fast! As a NAVAL fighter it was designed to operate from carriers and dreadnoughts but

it used from surface bases as well, though features of it's NAVAL purpose are largely evident

Unlike the "Sabre" the reactor is connected to both of the engines squeezing

maximum performance the extra added chemical tanks speed up the reactions in the reactor when needed

and the free flow Ion drives burn a line trough any system this fighter flies in. The Liberty NAVY have

chosen to rely on the new fission reactor to provide the power for the Guardian instead of the fusion power

plant used in the Defender. As a result the Guardian is able to match the power generation of the Saber, but

with one gun less to feed, this in term means less firepower , but slower energy depletion rate by the

capacitors. The heat generated by the reactor is significantly less than that of the fusion power plants like

the one found in the "Z" series, so less cooling is required. However this does not mean it was neglected. At

rear side of the ship right next to the "spoiler" 2 large circular radiators connected to engines supercoolers

can be found, Libertonian engineers demonstrated their 'think outside the box' way of designing, when they

incorporated cooling slots into the radiators, this mean that a large pipe pumping freon directly from the

battleships' cooling system, a fighter that would normally take an hour to cool down only takes 12 seconds

using that method meaning that it could get back in the fight quicker if overheat does occur. Liberty's

philosophy of safety first can be clearly seen in the way of position of nano bots and shield batteries.

Usually the nano bots tanks are positioned next to each other, requiring less calculation where a specific bot

should go. Instead the two nano bots tanks are situated at both ends of the "damage control"

compartment, the nanobots could respond instantaneously to both the cockpit and the reactor sealing a

reactor leak or securing the atmosphere for the pilot. The position of the tanks requires more

sophisticated calculations. However this is not a problem due to the quantum processing core that is

outfitter, this in turn makes the fighter true to the Libertonian centuries legacy of equipping complex

computer systems on military vehicles. The "motherboard" which in most spaceships of the fighter- freighter

range use as a primary computer (like the Sabre) here is used as a computer monitoring Life support

comms and the different scanners. Instead of using 4 different devices like the Saber, the Guardian uses a

4 component antenna, simplifying the construction and reducing energy losses- something extremely

valuable during space dogfights. The weapon capacitors used on the Guardian were produced by Ageira

Technologies, presenting a little technological marvel themselves. The capacitors can charge discharge and

recharge with less than 0.000000001294 Coulombs energy loss. Unfortunately the weapons currently

produced by Liberty somehow cannot exploit the great potential of the fighter, making pilots with the right

credit balance to look for alternative at freelance traders. The wings of the fighter can be folder by 6

hydraulic cylinders in each wing, allowing the Guardian to take less space when on carriers and battleships

Final Words? Beauty! Beauty on the deck, beauty in space, beauty in space...A deadly diamond in the crown

of Libertonian engineering all encased stylish Art-Deco look.
