The USS Rampa is Admiral Roi's Personal Touring Craft. She and the Rampa are now assigned to Starbase Liberty in a region of space known as the "Triangle". Following are a few pictures of the Saber Class Starship, and a brief history and specs. The Rampa can also be used to provide added defense for Starbase Liberty, or to supplement missions which require added firepower and support. (Sometimes Adm Roi just likes to take it out for a spin).

History

The first Saber Class ship of note was the USS Yeager. Seen originally in the movie
(Star Trek: Fisrt Contact). The Saber Class Starship was designed by Alex Jaegar at ILM. It was rendered as a coputer-generated visual effect. This type of Starship was in use in the late 24th century. USS Yeager helped defend Sector 001 against Borg incursion.
The USS Yeager was named after Chuck Yeager, an aircraft test pilot on planet Earth, the first human to fly faster than the speed of sound. Yeager accomplished this feat on October 27, 1947, in a rocket-powered craft called the Glamorous Glennis. Commander La Forge likened Dr. Ja"dar's revolutionary Soliton Wave rider experiment in 2368 to Yeager's historic achievement during the episode titled (New Ground-TNG).
