Inside, the TX-130 has reinforced transparisteel viewports with thick armored shutters that could be opened for greater visibility or closed to protect the pilot. In order to conserve mass, the Saber Tank has lighter armor than some of its competitors, utilizing a lightweight ablative alloy plating instead of durasteel.

The Saber Tank is equipped with twin fire-linked medium laser cannons mounted to the forward hull and a more versatile light blaster turret mounted to the dorsal gunner’s seat. In its prime, the TX-130 was sometimes compared to a starfighter in terms of maneuverability and multi-role functionality.

It was created to be a nimble and versatile support repulsor tank as a counter to the larger and more heavily armed ATT during the era of the Clone Wars, as well as being equipped to target infantry and ground units. The TX-130 Saber-class Tank, often simply called the Saber Tank or the TX-130, was a light infantry support tank originally designed and produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering.
