SARA v3

SARA v3 was the third incarnation of SARA and the Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) matrix of the GPS Absolution Mk. III from 2013 to 2015 and the Vindication from 2015 to 2016. She was first introduced on Saturday, April 28, 2013, along with TOM 5. This version of SARA remained in service from April 28, 2013 to November 12, 2016. She was replaced by SARA v4 on November 19, 2016.

History
On April 28, 2013, when the Toonami look overhaul (TOM 5, Absolution Mk III, etc.) was to take place as previously announced, Toonami fans received a special surprise. A redesigned version of SARA v1: SARA v3.

During The Intruder II, SARA v3 was seemingly destroyed by the Intruder. However, TOM was able to recover the Absolution's entire infrastructure mainframe with the hopes that enough of her data would be contained within it to restore her. This proved successful, as in the final episode, SARA is seen restored with a slightly different look, and experienced sporadic glitches. She also stated that she didn't know what parts of her were lost forever and what new parts might come from the new system on Shogo 162.

SARA v3 last appeared in episode 2 of The Intruder III, when she used the new systems of the Vindication base to give herself an upgrade to SARA v4.

Trivia
