	*The Saratoga's [[Python Reactor]](and by extension, probably most of ~~it's~~ FTL drive) is listed as a [[Fairview, Ltd\|Fairview Model MS]] on the specifications.

Records from the shipyard indicate that the Foundation was the victim of fraud, for which the perpetrators were ~~dualy~~ punished.

	*Due to the engine modifications, when engaging all available [[Ion vacuum drive#Augments\|augmentations]] of the [[Ion vacuum drive]], plasma within the compression chamber reaches temperatures and pressures which undergo exotic stages. The creation of quark-gluon plasma has been recorded(on a hitherto unobserved scale, no less) as well as miniature, extremely short-lived black holes.		*Due to the engine modifications, when engaging all available [[Ion vacuum drive#Augments\|augmentations]] of the [[Ion vacuum drive]], plasma within the compression chamber reaches temperatures and pressures which undergo exotic stages.

	**During the [[Long Night]], [[Joshua Jusenkyou]] modified the engines to do this ''on purpose''; with the much higher-temperature plasma increasing over-all efficiency considerably, and allowed the ship to reach the unheard of rating of 85PSL+.

	During [[Retrospectus]], the original Saratoga was destroyed, the crew being forced to abandon ship. This occurred in an alternate timeline, so the crew stole the Saratoga from THAT timeline and brought it ~~back~~ to the main. The ship was unofficially renamed the ''Saratoga Infinity'', as ~~it's~~ archboard indicated. However, all internal insignia and computer systems retained the old Saratoga name. As such, the name Saratoga Infinity was only ever used when directly referencing the fact that it was a different ship.

	Retrospecus is canonically the second to last Gudersnipe story, making the ship used in [[Line in the Sand]] the Saratoga Infinity(the "refit" referenced at the beginning of that story concerns a careful examination of the new ship), and all subsequent appearances of the Saratoga are actually the Infinity. It is important to note that the ships are functionally ~~identicle~~, the alternate timeline version of Hunter had stopped using the Saratoga very shortly after his time at Gudersnipe.

	Like most ships built by the Foundation, a full set of actual schematics(not the fictitious ones widely circulated) would be highly classified and available only to a small handful of individuals. The original design team, the yard commander, and the individual dock commanders on the production line. Construction teams would only have access to the blue prints that pertained to their specific sections, while the sub contractors who built the individual support systems would have had only the plans involving their components. Prints would have stopped just after their sections.

	A full set of schematics would be accessible on both paper and computer form, in a highly secured room at the ship yard.

	This caused some issues as, by the time Hunter and his crew inherited the ship, the actual schematics had been lost, along with most of the operations manual. A single, incomplete, and very precious set of schematics and manuals was found at Utopia Gregaria, and quickly destroyed by the crew([[Cindy Kyte\|Cindy]] famously lost one of the most vital ~~manauls~~, and attempted to replace it by writing it from memory. She had never read the original manual).

The Saratoga was the first ship to be equipped with [[Bladeth armor]]. The technology was originally designed by the [[Satyaran]]s, but later backwards-engineered by the Gudersnipe Foundation.

			The Saratoga used the original bladeth generator installed by the Satyarans for quite some time, before replacing it with a much less capable, but infinitely repairable Mark II. The prototype was significantly more sophisticated than the production models, but was made from all custome, hand-built components. This made it a huge chore to maintain, and sacrificing the additional capabilities were a reasonable trade for increased operational readiness.

			The original system was capable of creating more than the single standard pre-programmed armor type used by the mass-produced model. With this, the Saratoga's crew has been able to create a wide array of armor-types for different situations. These include highly heat-reflective armor and a precursor to the [[cloaking device]].

			The Saratoga never fielded a Mark II or III, but was eventually fitted with the Mark III Special, which added back in all of the features removed from the Satyaran prototype.
