  info: 'Interdictors are destroyer-sized vessels built to fill a single important
    tactical niche: the breaching of enemy warp tunnels.  Capable of launching warp-disrupting
    interdiction spheres, interdictors are of great value in locations of strategic
    importance where enemy movement must be restricted.  Additionally, much like their
    destroyer-class progenitors, they are well-suited to offensive strikes against
    frigate-sized craft.'

## Summary

</div>
The Sabre is the Minmatar Interdictor. As an Interdictor, its primary reason for existence is to launch warp disrupt probes and thereby to prevent the enemy fleet from warping. Its high speed and Minmatar Tech 2 shield damage resistance profile have long made it a popular option among the four light interdictors. In small gang PvP situations, the Sabre can also muster respectable DPS.
<div style="display: flow-root;">

## Skills

</div>
As a Tech 2 ship, the Sabre deserves strong support skills and fitting skills. Since it tends to be shield-tanked and is popular in part for its mobility, shield tanking skills and navigation skills particularly draw out its strengths.

## Tactics
