        Classic BattleTech Battle Armor Technical Readout
                            VALIDATED
.
Type/Model: SABA Base
Tech/Era: Inner Sphere / 3067 / CBT Rules
Chassis Type: Humanoid
Weight Class: Assault Battle Armor (1,501 - 2,000 kg)
Rules: Level 2, Standard design
.
Ground Speed: 21.6 km/h
Armor Type: Standard
.
==Overview:==
The Sirian Assault Battle Armor is a much heavier cousin to the
SAMAS battle armor. The SABA is definitely meant to be mechanized
on Syrian battle armor IFVs - it lacks the high mobility of the
SAMAS.
.
The SABA does not have the advanced, lightweight, bulky armor of
the SAMAS. For this reason, it has only slightly better protection
than the SAMAS. However, the SABA has a great deal more firepower.
The SABA's fixed weapons are a pair of Mag Shot gauss rifles, one
on either arm. Its primary weapons are missiles: the detachable
missile rack is either an LRM 4 with several shots or a pair of
SRM 5 one shot racks.
.
When SABAs are fielded with LRMs, a squad represents 16 LRM tubes,
more than an LRM 15, and a company is a daunting LRM salvo. This
is the typical open-field SABA configuration and is expected to
supplement conventional Sirian armor - high-priority targets are
anything with artillery or SRM infernos - or provide enhanced site
defense. A company of SABAs with LRMs is also one of a SAMAS
battalion's best friends.
.
With SRMs, SABAs are dangerous short-range combatants. A squad can
salvo 40 SRMs before laying into the target with Mag Shots. SRM
SABAs are also escorts to SAMASs in this situation - SABAs have no
swarming ability.
.
==Battle History:==
SABAs performed well in Sirian Holds engagements with WoB forces,
mostly because the Holds deployed them in large numbers. A
battalion of SABAs behind a regiment of SAMASs can wreck six WoB
mechs in short order. In urban ambush situations with SRMs, they
can (and did) stagger a mech for critical seconds while SAMASs
swarm the target.
.
==Variants:==
A variant model carries a single, detachable LRM 4 with three
reloads. It has 20kg of unused of equipment space.
