Imagine a squadron of these fighters carrying nukes. Orbital defense indeed.
Halo has a surprising lack of ground-launched nukes. That could fuck up a covenant fleet.
I seem to recall Nukes not being particularly effective against shielded covenant ships. They were very effective once their shields were down, or if you could get them inside the covenants shields, but otherwise lacked the power to reliably kill covenant capital ships. Or am I misremembering?
@@johnathanblevins1952 no, you are correct. One of the biggest problems the UNSC faced using nukes against the covenant was their shielding was purposefully designed to protect against energy damage, which nuclear weapons could arguably be classified as just giant energy bombs.
Yeah that's fair, in space there's not much to make a nuke effective in the same way it is on the ground. But the UNSC still used salvos of nukes against the covenant.
There's a significant lack of embedded planetary MAC's too though.
@@johnathanblevins1952 Nukes weren't massively effective (IRL they're greatly weakened in space due to the lack of air to carry a pressure wave), but the flash alone was sufficient to strain the shields of multiple Covenant ships at once. Nukes are expensive as weapons go, but much more cost-effective than trying to fight the Covenant without them. Realistically, if the UNSC had put more effort into expanding nuke production (or even had access to present-day arsenals), they would have soon started pushing the Covenant back and won the war. Then again, realistically, the Covenant would use nukes, too.
When you absolutely need to flex on Covenant...
UNSC Infinity: Am I a joke to you?
@@johnathanblevins1952 Well I mean, by the time the Infinity was built, the Covenant were pretty much defeated, except for some remnant clans here and there.
@@johnathanblevins1952
@Lord Lizard
Covenant was nonexistent as government for some time before Infinity was build if I recall right. It's like trying to flex on USSR with F-35 or on Nazi party with T-55.
@@johnathanblevins1952 lol this aged poorly
I really like the design of the Sabre, especially the launch sequence. It just feels more grounded than the broadsword.
This is not the sabre its a late stage prototype. That is yes fully functional.
I think it'd be more realistic for the broadsword to be a space-exclusive fighter, and the sabre to be a primarily planetary based fighter with the capability to launch into space, but would require assistance from a larger vessel to return to atmosphere.
"Dismissed by three Administrations as preposterous rumors".
preposterous
@@compmanio36 My phone is being weird.
@@noahturner6807 Duck Autocorrect XD
uhhh... WHY? It's a fighter, not a doomsday weapon
@@IAmTheAce5 There's no in universe explanation as to why it was highly classified. I like to think Because it was developed in the inner colonies that it was kept secret to prevent panic as it specifically created to fight the covenant should an inner colony have come under attack.
That was a fun and suprising segment in Halo reach. Too bad we didn’t have more of it. Reach Really did make the covies feel like unstoppable bad guys again.
Not quite, I was hoping to see more of the UNSC fleet get blown up. All we saw was a couple of Frigates get blown up. We saw more Covenant Ships destroyed than UNSC ones.
@@Marinealver yeah but we got to see so much more than that. For every 1 cov ship destroyed, 5 more took its place. We got to see a city get glassed up close and personal. We got to see an entire team of Spartans (save for Jun) die within the month. I'd say they definitely felt pretty unstoppable in Reach. There wasn't many UNSC frigs shown anyways. I think 3 total yes? 2/3 being blown up. The third only surviving because of other sacrifice.
Now *that* is a beautiful fighter craft.
Halo's art style is just legendary
She *is* gorgeous, isn't she?

Longsword was cooler, looks generic
The saber
A sword that's rather beautiful
It's also a good fighter I guess
>saber

CHOOSE ONE
Cute
One of my favorite sci fi vehicles tbh.
My favorite fighter in all sci fi is from Macross. The Vf-1 Valkurie and the generations that come after it.
Can you do the longsword too? It's emblematic, but we've never flown one, and its gigantic size is something that I would like to know about.
People who played Halo: Custom Edition flew one on the map Coldsnap.
Yea Longsowrd is really awesome to see and its op for example their armament could penetrate Covenant carrier.
*Laughs in Halo Custom Edition on PC*
@@Legiion513 isn't there a mod for space vehicles for the MCC Reach pack
palerider78 I played a modded version of Halo 1 with the long sword. It included extra seats like one to leave the boarding ramp open to snipe from.
It could kind of hover like a Banshee but was also too easy to get stuck against a wall.
"Echo One, all systems nominal."
why'd you have to post this during finals week man, that notification is just too damn tempting... Happy to see the Sabre get the Spacedock treatment.
its only four minutes long. just watch it while you go for a snack/water break
Since the day i was introduced to this wonderful ship i only wanted more of it, hopefully with Reach on pc mods will allow us to experience Halo spacebattles to the fullest!
Thank you Spacedock for working on content from my favourite fps and Xbox game!
(Good God no if you like playing Halo on legendary but with like a hundred times more enemy
Me: Searching videos
CZcams: Notified me of spacedock realising a vid of the saber
Also me remembering the saber launch while Carter is ordering me to get on the saber: NOBLE SIX GET ON THAT SABER!
This is honestly my favorite fighter in science fiction from the design to the way it felt in game I love everything about it.
Why does this thing need boosters when the rest of the UNSC's aircraft are perfectly capable of escaping a planet's gravity with whatever motors are built-in.
lore wise the rocket boosters get it into space alot faster at steeper angles.
...because the boosters look cool? :P
On a more serious note, perhaps engines powerful enough to escape a planet's gravity would have added too much mass and bulk and compromised the Sabre's speed and manoeuvrability.
My guess is it has to do with size. The Longsword uses fusion reactors but is HUGE when compared to the Sabre.
GA-TL1 Longsword
Length: 64.1 meters (210 ft)
Width: 75 meters (246 ft)
Height: 12.9 meters (42.3 ft)
YSS-1000 Sabre
Length: 24.6 meters (80.7 feet)
Width: 18.9 meters (62.1 feet)
Well if what I remember about the Sabre is true they were used so that when the pilot flipped the on switch for the experimental reactor there wasn't a few thousand kiloton "accident" I think.
The sabre was optimised for space operations, it's engines could function in atmo but they were horifically inefficient doing so. Using the booster was the best way of getting it up there quickly.
Installation 00 made a video on the sabre explaining it.
(Also, cool factor)
vastly off-topic, but I noticed a ship name in the new season of the expanse (season4) called the Sojourner. Gratz on making it to a cameo of sorts into the expanse franchise!
I noticed that too. It’s mentioned in the first episode I believe
@@Wubbeyman not gonna spoil anything but it's not just 1 episode
ahhh..... one of my favorite sci-fi ships of all time...
love how it's all top-secret, too.
Yeah.
Reach’s art style and world building is so underrated.
Fun fact, the broadsword was used during the HCW. With the F model being the one to receive shields post war
I would love to see a full video about the Halcyon-class light cruiser, with added focus on the refits implemented to the Pillar of Autumn for Operation RED FLAG. It’s quite interesting, all told, particularly how the Pillar of Autumn beats the crap out of far more advanced Covenant warships due to its design and Captain Keyes’ badassery.
I really want a Halo flight sim now.
Wouldnt that just be Kerbal Space Program? Make a Sabre, attach it to a booster and see why space flight with realistic physics are so much different than what you see on video games
Can you do a ship breakdown on SCP-2399 the malfunctioning destroyer?
I would love this as well, it's an amazing SCP that deserves a spacedock episode. Only problem is that we really don't know what it looks like outside of fanart. We know what it's capable of, that's for sure.
@@driftman2724
Atleast the first detail is that it's 10km in height.
wasn't the broadsword put into production before the conception of the Sabre and later retrofitted with shields post human convenant war
Your fantastic videos inspire me further to finish my writing if for only one day hearing you cover some of my ships. Keep up the great work!
Really loved flying this fighter in Halo:Reach.
Liked and enjoyed watching this.
This way better looking than the Broadsword
Could u do a breakdown of the marathon class heavy cruiser or the valiant?
I remember playing in those fighters back in the day, man i should replay the campaign again
Remember Reach!
Oraaa........
Ooooooh I’ve been waitin for this one for a long time.
I love this ship, one of my favorite ship
This was perfect. Just played the misson for the first time today.
God I love this ship.
Probably the best looking UNSC fighter
Very true.
i loved the mission in Reach where u got to fly one of these
Soooo...... when you doing the absolutely giant GA-TL 1 Longsword fighter?
"Planetary Glassing" is a very polite way to describe a rather impolite process. Love it.
I love this fighter jet.
Hey Spacedock, could you do more videos covering thunderbirds, stingray or even captain scarlet...
One of the best mission in reach
Yes.
Radar Intercept Officer - RIO, nice little nod to the F-14.
If a space shuttle and a fighter jet had a fling, this starfighter is the result.
A fantastic fighter from a fantastic game
I like the mix of new and old.
Another great video. Do you think you could a video on the Hammerhead from Space Above and Beyond.
I think the Saber must have been used by 343 Industries for more stories, it has a design that seems to me to be one of the most beautiful of all science fiction, and it is my favorite space interceptor of all, I think its design and capabilities put it Above the Longsword that the UNSC uses, and in addition, it was more effective in combat than the smaller versions of the Longsword, the C707 which was the most advanced for space combat did not perform very well against the Seraph, while the Saber would achieve a excellent streak of victories spectacular deaths and the operation: Hook is the clear example of it.
Greetings from Venezuela.
My favorite UNSC ship at the moment
Everyone forgets the S-14 baselard
Mate I’ve always wanted vid on the Sabre
thought this was about the Jem Hadar heavy battleship when looking at the top down view of the ship.
Day: *MADE*
Hi Daniel! I’ve been a fan of Spacedock for as long as I can remember and I was wondering if maybe you can cover the Viscount-class Star Defender from Star Wars Legends. Or maybe even Legacy-era Star Wars Ships such as the MC130 Cruiser. Only suggestions though. You do what you want to cover. Love your content still! Also, I wish I can subscribe on Patreon but I am broke at the moment so... RIP.
Can you please make a video about the Ori Mothership
could you do a SHORT in which you state the differnce between space torpedos and space missiles?
Could you do a video on all the warships of the unsc?
can you do a video on the longsword?
Maybe a look at other converted colony ships like the unsc spirit of fire?
Pls talk about the marathon cruiser
Love love to have a flight sim game based on these in the halls universe
halo reach music playing subtly in the background, while i dont dislike the supcom theme (supcoms a great game!) that usually accompanies these breakdown vids, this is especially fitting
I noticed that one of the staples of science-fiction is the "flying saucer", but I haven't seen any videos from you about that. Is there anything practical to the flying saucer design? What would it take to get it to the levels of performance seen in UFO sightings (like zipping off into space in a few seconds)?
Please do Pillar of Autumn!
It felt so amazing reach was truly something you're losing so bad you have to use you're most secret weapons publicly and you still fail
Can you you do a video on the LongSword
Hey the update just came out so I was wondering if you could examine the Railjack interceptor from Warframe.
Can you do the adamant frigate or arachne cruiser from battlestar galactica deadlock please?
The Sabre reminds me of the GTF Hercules from FreeSpace. Minus the wings.
The only thing I should note is that MLA doesn't stand for 'Machine-linked autocannons', Warfleet tells us It stands for 'Magnetic Linear Accelerator'.
CCS Battlecruiser! Still here! Come on, it really deserves more love.
I think Covenant ships in general need more love. In my opinion, the Covenant is the only sci-fi faction that can compete with the MCRN from The Expanse in terms of how cool their ships look, other than the Cylon fleet in Battlestar Galactica Deadlock.
A simple request from a loyal Imperial officer: a ship breakdown of either(or both as separate vids) the Carrack-class Light Cruiser and/or the Marauder-class Corvette both from the old Star Wars EU, please.
The Carrack would be interesting. Never was a fan of the Marauder myself.
is this capable of slipspace transportation or jut sublight speeds
I would like to see the Longsword fighter from halo 1.
the YSS-1000 Sabre can also be a realistic spacecraft for interstellar space travel in present day & time using current technological advancements . . .
@Spacedock, Is there any chance you could do a Short Video on the OF92 Booster Frame From Halo Legends and Comic Lore. Like the Sabre it is an impressive craft that like the sabre was deemed to be unfit for use due to its Cost, but unlike the Sabre Fighters it is still being seen used today on board the infinity by FT Majestic. Had it been used more during the war It could've Given a Impressive edge due to its On Board Guass Cannon and Anti-Plasma Defense Measures!!! Please at least check it out.
Could you cover the Various Mechs/Ships from the TitanFall Franchise?
Can you do a video on the MCRN Lapithes, a ship from Season 2 of the Expanse!?!?!?!?
Hey Space dock it would be great if you do "Infinate warfare" all ships ?? By the way love your videos!!
I think the Sabre is actually one of the best exoatmospheric superiority fighter in fiction. It doesn’t have a lot of unnecessary aerodynamic controls. You only really need those during launch and landing. It keeps the mass close to the center so it can conserve angular momentum. It has engines far apart enough for “yaw” control and I’m assuming thrust vectoring can be used for “pitch and roll” controls (I put them in quotes because in space there is no orientation relative to horizon so I’m doing the orientation based on the spacecraft analogous to an aircraft)
First let me say it should have been Kat instead of Jorge flying with Noble 6.
But more importantly the launch boosters are total anachronisms. It makes no sense in a time when a Pelican can easily launch itself into orbit fully loaded with no boosters. That said, great video once again!
It's likely the difference between casually flying a transport into space vs getting an interceptor into space *right now*. Sure, you can just fly there, but the boosters get the Saber up into space much quicker.
@@VegetaLF7 I understand, but look at all the infrastructure needed to launch them, and they're really only effective against other fighters. I think it would make more sense to house them in orbit or launch missiles from the planet. I do love the fighters, but the launch system seems way out of place in the franchise.
Shame the Sabre wasn’t adopted officially by the unsc
According to lore, if correct Sabre is only used by ONI after the war but new sabre is far more better than older one. Although it should be distributed for Spartan 4 pilots, plans are not made
Royal Noble the Spartan 4 already have a space based aircraft called booster frames and are more nimble and have a larger arsenal of weaponry so the Sabre being implemented to the 4s would be kinda worthless in my opinion
@@titanjakob1056 Booster frames have a very exposed design. It's basically a space fighter bike. ONI do want to replace it with Sabre. And new Sabre do have some really good upgrades.
Royal Noble I haven’t seen re new Sabre yet what improvements have they made?
@@titanjakob1056 Well, first thing is shields. Second, weapons compartment and rest is unknown. It's interesting to note that Sabre productions continued even after fall of reach and still, due to it's experimental nature it is only relegated to ONI.
UNSC here.
I just wish we can get them in forge. Same with the Broadsword, and the Vulture, pretty much all of Halo Wars vehicles in Halo Infinite Forge
Hmm the F4 broadsword was first used in the 2530.
Building this in ksp
Does anyone know how many Punic Super Carriers are left by Halo 5?
You should do your next video on the broadsword
UNSC "Sabre" project R.I.P. (sniff)
Remember Reach
Damn Covenant attacking right before we complete the good shit. The Sabre Fighter (Reach) and the Exo-Suit from Ghost (Halo Legends).
Hi, I believe saying that it has a "seven stage surface to orbit" launch system would be incorrect. It has 7 booster rockets, but saying it is seven stage would imply each of the rockets is firing on it's own and detaching before the next one lights. It's just a single stage launch system with 7 engines firing. If I'm wrong, someone let me know please!
Technically its 2 stages. The first are the boosters, the next is the sabre engines when it's in flight. However, terminology probably would change in the future since it's a lot easier to get into space with single stages so who knows
Is it capable of flying in atmosphere though?
Remember the Savannah.
Remember Reach.
Remember the Canterbury
Between the Terran Siege tank and the Imperium's Baneblade which tank is better?
Terran Siege Tank for it's mass production. Baneblade for it's ridiculous firepower. 40k always wins the power comparisons.
@@Kapteeni40
I seen some awesome Forerunner tank concept art designs on Deviant Art I wonder how the Baneblade would compare.
1v1 the Baneblade would crush a Siege Tank. It could probably do it literally, just driving over it.
Now all they need to do is make a YSS- 1001 or 2000 Super Sabre. *slaps knee and laughs hysterically*
the YSS-1000F Sabre multi role interstellar space fighter is actually a viable design for real life application . . . a real life sized YSS-1000F Sabre multi role interstellar space fighter will have a tricycle type front & rear extendable wheeled landing gear as in conventional fixed winged aircraft . . . it'll feature 3 internal weapons bays that'll accommodate upto 8 AGM-88 HARM II (Block IV) infrared guided anti-radiation air-to-surface missiles, 13 AGM-158 JASSM XR radar guided air-to-surface supersonic land attack cruise missiles & 5 Storm Shadow II inertial guided air-to-surface missiles . . . the YSS-1000F Sabre multi role interstellar space fighter will also boast two 30 MM GAU-8/U six-barrel rotary cannon built into either side of the YSS-1000F forward lower fuselage section . . . the YSS-1000F Sabre multi role interstellar space fighter will be powered by three Rolls Royce Trident 5300B-HYBRId® impulse ram-jet engines generating over 328.5 kN of thrust each . . . propelling the YSS-1000F Sabre multi role interstellar space fighter to speeds in excess of Mach 18.3 . . .
More HALO!!!
How big of an impact would the Sabre have had if it had been successfully adopted as the mainstay fighter of the UNSC 5 years before the Events of Halo, Reach?
it would only delay the covenant but not stall or stop them.
the frigates or any unsc ships has no shields or the shields themselves are soo expensive.
so they’ll only delay the covenant but not stop or defeat them
So it's Spartan with wing?
Every Navy or Air Force needs a good fighter and the UNFC had the Sabre.
I’m late to the Halo universe so videos like these are good opening salvos into the lore and equipment. Perhaps someone can recommend a good place to get a ‘proper’ introduction lol
Halo Canon's CZcams channel has a bunch of great "Halo primer" videos for onboarding new fans.
Here is a video recapping the main story across the games and books.
czcams.com/video/y6DtLNPet0k/video.html
These CZcams channels have a good amount of lore, theories and news about halo.

HiddenXperia has good lore videos too but I think some of them require previous knowledge
I'd recommend watching a few story recaps and then diving into some more lore via Halo Canon, Installation 00, and Hiddenxperia, but mainly installation 00 as he has some good content surrounding various equipment
