Technical
and Historical Notes
The
FF-S3 Saberfish was designed by the Hervic Company to be a high
speed space fighter similar to the FF-X7
Core Fighter. However, the Saberfish was also capable of functioning
in Earth's atmosphere. The Saberfish was designed to be docked
and launched from the hulls of Salamisand Magellanclass
battleships. The Saberfish's armament consisted of four machine guns,
as well as six missile launchers, which gave it firepower similar
to a mobile suit. The Saberfish remained in service as late as
UC 0087 and saw combat during the Gryps Conflict when the AEUG attacked
the Titans supply base in Jaburo, South America. However, this
antiquated fighter's abilities could not come close to matching
that of the AEUG's modern mobile suits.
