The 2-M Saber-class repulsor tank, also referred to as the 2-M Hover Tank, represented a specific type of repulsorlift tank employed by the forces of the Galactic Empire. Armed with potent laser cannons, this vehicle proved highly effective when confronting strongly defended positions; however, its limited velocity made it susceptible to attacks from rocket emplacements. The inclusion of a shield generator provided the Saber-class with a noteworthy level of protection against directed energy weapons, especially for a land-based platform. Furthermore, the Saber-class repulsortank provided the basis for a specialized scout version, known as the Scout-class 2-M repulsor tank.
It saw action in combat on the desert world of Tatooine soon after the pivotal Battle of Yavin.
The 2-M Hover Tank was first introduced to audiences in the video game titled Star Wars: Empire at War. Its presence was later re-established within canon through its appearance in the mobile game Star Wars: Commander.
