Sabre

The Sabre, a heavily modified Firestorm-class frigate, was originally built and commissioned far from the Caligari Sector in the vast Gothic Sector fleet base of Port Maw. It was launched in M36 and spent millennia serving on the Imperial Navy’s front lines against the forces of the Archenemy until the Chandor Offensives. During the forth day, the Sabre was hit by multiple broadsides and set a fire. It was towed back to the docks, where it was intended to be broken up for scrap. However, an unnamed Rogue Trader saw in the Sabre examples of ancient technology from humanity’s past, exceedingly rare in the Imperium. He paid a princely sum to refurbish the vessel, and, when completed, took his craft into the depths of the Caligari Sector. There, it is said, he was well served by the ship he saved from the breaker’s yard.
