The TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank, also known as the Republic Fighter Tank, was a light, quick-strike repulsortank manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering and used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars and later the Galactic Empire and Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Imperial Era. It was equipped with two heavy laser cannons, two ordnance launchers, and a turret located on the top.

Used early in the Clone Wars by the Galactic Republic‘s Grand Army, the TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank was utilized against the Separatist Alliance. During the Clone Wars, the fast TX-130 tanks were used to frightening effect, and clone trooper units were at times saved by the arrival of a squadron. Due to the fighter tank’s great mix of speed and firepower, the tank was popular among clone troopers and tank crews.

At one point during the war, Jedi Generals Plo Koon and Aayla Secura each piloted a TX-130. At least one TX-130 participated in a battle on a snowy surface alongside clone cold assault troopers of the 501st Legion. At another point, a TX-130 engaged B1-series battle droids and B2-series super battle droids in a desert environment using a beam cannon.

When the Republic transformed into the Galactic Empire, the TX-130 continued into service with the Imperial Army. During the Imperial Era, the TX-130 also came into possession of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. It was highly demanded by rebel commanders, and the Alliance tried to expand its inventory with operational tanks and salvaged hulls. Mercenary companies also used TX-130 tanks.
