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 Salamis and Magellan class 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.
