Recognition notes
The Sabre SB-31 "Defense Special" is a 25-ton fighter flown as an interceptor, rebuilt from the SB-26 dogfighter around an XL engine in place of the original's fusion plant. Each Medium Laser position on the SB-26 becomes an ER Medium Laser paired with a Laser Anti-Missile System, in the nose, the right wing, and the left wing alike. The armor changes from Primitive Fighter plate to standard, and the ten heat sinks become double-strength units in place of the SB-26's single sinks. Raimei builds the type at Galedon V.
