Strengths:

• Overly Engineered: Designed by the second fleet for trap setting and mine laying. The ships main weapons are built along the top side of it for defense and sparse for its size. The real features that have been built int it are the mine systems. Being able to use fire cracker, sunseeker, seismic, pulsemass and gravity mines aside from the high explosive yields. The sapper support ships are meant and designed to saturate an area understealth.
• Mines: Heavily designed with mine ejection and laying systems. The cargo and hanger space that has been converted is made for storing extra mines.
• ON Board Systems: Designed with a handful of Sasori and Saotome systems to improve the performance of the ship and make it a more advanced fighter.
  "Screamer" Active Jammer: Designed to disguise the ship and disrupt homing actions taken against the fighter. Countered by military grade scanners and sensor packages.
• Vanish 2 military sensor masking system: Cheaper then an actual cloaking device and best used to conceal and mask the ship from sensors.
• Executive Suite: Providing small scale repair systems for the astromech to work with and a containment shield within the fighter in case of breaches.
• Saotome Advanced Tracking System: An advanced droid brain developed for tracking targets along a vector and allowing the ship to shadow after them.
• Saotome Ember Scanner and Slicer Unit: Designed to hack into a ships systems when in range. The slicer unit searches for slave circuits to lock onto and cause sabotage like instances before the fighter attacks.
• Saotome Nutaki System: An advanced navigational computer for shortening travel time and increasing the speed by which the pilots can reach an area being able to work with the tracker droid brain.

Weaknesses:

• Overly Engineered: Designed by the second fleet to be sent into an area and saturate it in prep for the fleet. THe ship is lightly armed and armored compared to others its size to make space for additional mines it can release.
• Heavy Ordinance: The mines within the middle and lower sections of the ship make for an inviting target. Highly explosive or debilitating in most situations and the armor it thinner to make the loading systems for the mine ejectors and layers function.
• Situational Weapons: While designed with a lot of weapons on the underside of the hull, the ship actually has very little in defensive means. Its mines are meant to be released and set up fields to choose and contorl the battlefield not partake.

Description: Designed by Saotome and the second fleet as an early strike and saturation support vessel. Its speed was hampered to keep the hull of explosive and dangerous mines from detonating or being damaged. Its stealth systems set up to let it slip into an area that it can then saturate and control. With explosive mines or pulsemass mines to keep ships in system and hamper hyperdrives. The other main features of the sapper is its reduced need for larger crews. Keeping it focused and able to operate as a support ship brought in by fleets or kept in the underside of the ships with an orissa lattice.
