DESCRIPTION/OVERVIEW:
(SBR-01A "Cutlass")
Just prior to “Operation Minerva” in February of 2173 AD, the EFSM forces stationed at the newly constructed Nowhere ST-01 spaces tation, secretly contracted Mitsubaishi’s Voltohms “skunkworks” facility on Juno to begin the refit of all of the damaged and salvaged MBR-01S/SBR-01 mecha that had been recovered after the first Battle of Pallas. From these wrecks, they produced an improved SBR-01. This new mecha was essentially the same as the old one except for the replacement of the MML-01 grenade launcher with an actual missile launcher. The launcher chosen to replace the MML-01 was the Norking SRM-03S space torpedo launcher. This weapon fired missiles that had a combat range of 417 miles. This was a vast improvement over the 900-foot range of the MML-01 RPPG grenades. This new launcher carried the same number of missiles as that of the MML-01.
The armor of the SBR-01 was too thin for the changing face of the 1st Interplanetary War. They replaced the original 3-inch armor with 4-inch thick plates of composite-alloy. The thicker armor plating did give the battle robot greater protection, but the level of that improvement was marginal at best.
After the 1st Battle of Pallas, there was a shortage of Bophors ACR-105S battle-cannon gunpods. Therefore, the primary armament of the SBR-01A was the M230-AC-GP assault-cannon. The fresh pilots got the abundant M230s, as did veterans who preferred it to the larger ACR-105S. The ACR-105S gunpods were then issued only to specialized units and ace pilots.

DESCRIPTION/OVERVIEW:
(SBR-01A1 "Sabre-II")
During the initial phases of “Operation Clean Sweep”, the Lokheed-Magnum R&D labs on Luna designed an improved version of the SBR-01A. This new version of the SBR-01A had thicker armor plating and was fitted with an Orlakon/MMI AC-R20 20-millimeter autocannon in a ball turret mount directly below the cockpit of the mecha where the old airlock hatch used to be. The intent of the new weapon was to compensate for the many “proximal” missile weapons found on the UN’s new mechanized army of mobile arthropod tanks. The "standard issue" MK-II Sabre had an improved 30mm-gunpod unit: the MMI-AC-GP74 which used a much larger, belt-fed, drum that carried six-times the ammunition as that of the earlier M230-AC-GP. The Sabre MK-II could also carry four additional drums giving the mecha 2400-rounds of additional ammunition stored on the hip-armor (two drums on each hip). Other than the addition of the new ball turret, gunpod, and five-inch armor plates, the SBR-01A1 was virtually identical to the SBR-01A.
