The Zaber Fang is a Tiger-type Zoid, although it more closely resembles a Smilodon, a type of Saber-toothed cat).
The Zaber Fang was the first high-speed, large-scale Zoid ever constructed, as well as being the first of many feline-type Zoids. Its speed made it amongst the fastest Zoids of its time. While its weapons lacked capability when compared to other large Zoids, they were more than enough to deal with the numerous smaller Zoid types of its day.
While very fast and agile in its day, the Zaber Fang has since been surpassed by newer designs. Nevertheless, it is still considered to be a very capable and very dangerous opponent.
The Zaber Fang was originally considered to be a high-end Zoid, with maneuverability and performance only a sliver below that of the Shield Liger. However, this title ended with the progression of time, as the Zaber Fang became both outdated and easy to mass produce. The Zaber Fang is still popular among militaries and individuals as a comfortable moderate between the high-end and low-end Zoids, as well as a route to take to avoid the Liger-craze.
Like the Liger series, the Zaber Fang has a long and proud history of service, occasionally being updated and refined to take new technologies into account. There are many war stories about old heroes and the feats they performed from inside the cockpit of the Zaber Fang.
Rich history aside, the Zaber Fang has reasonably tough armor for a Zoid of its size and class, roughly on par with that of the Shield Liger. This armor toughness is often used as a reference point and measured against the armor of other Zoids of equal level. Lastly, the Zaber Fang possesses a standard Imperial Composite Sensory Unit, allowing it to effectively map out the battlefield and find its opponents.
