To mark the return of Captain Marvel, The Marvels will be released on November 10, 2023. In the trailer, Captain Monica Rambeau is seen in outer space while Nick Fury is on the SABER space station, wait, wasn't that SWORD, but ? We saw that in WandaVision, didn't we? I asked myself the same question when I first saw it in The Marvel's trailer and the first episode of Secret Invasion. I must have been confused, and maybe you all were too. So, to clear the air about this confusion, I am writing this article to answer the question – What is Marvel's SABER in Secret Invasion and what is the difference between SABER and SWORD? Let's find out.

SABER is a space battle station, the full form of which is still unknown to us. It is designed exclusively to deal with extraterrestrial threats and stand as a first line of defense against any such adversaries of an alien nature. SABER is a branch of SHIELD, Marvel's counter-terrorism and intelligence agency. As shown in Secret Invasion Episode 1, Nick Fury is in charge of the space station SABER, where human SHIELD agents and Skrulls working for the organization stay together to run the battle station.

SABER first appeared in the MCU in Spiderman: Far From Home. After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Fury came to SABER to deal with his trauma. There we also learn that Nick Fury has been on SABER all this time and the Nick Fury present on Earth is actually Talos, a Skrull friend of Fury who impersonated him. You can read all about where Nick Fury was before Secret Invasion via our dedicated article.

In the currently ongoing Disney Plus series Marvel's Secret Invasion, we see that Nick Fury was called back to Earth from SABER to stop the infiltration of the rogue Skrulls taking place on the planet. This tells us that Nick Fury has been on the SABER battle station since the time of Avengers: Endgame, followed by the events of Spiderman: Far From Home. Fury will probably return there after the finale of Marvel's Secret Invasion for the events of The Marvels movie.
