Origin's Official Guide to Wing Commander Prophecy
Individually, these ships are ID'd as "Skate"; it is when they are united that they are recognizable as a torpedo-launching Skate T. Like the other single Skates, they are perfectly functional as interceptor fighters. They each carry two Light Burst Masers and are nimble and quick to attack any threat to their mission.
Although the abilities of a single Skate does not vary, regardless of its ultimate mission, once "clustered" some Skates carry more of a wallop than others. These Skates, once they come in range of their mission target, use Alien organo-technology to form a cohesive unit capable of forming and firing a potent anti-starship torpedo. Once this formidable weapon is formed, the Skate T then acquires a lock on the enemy target and launches the torpedo at the capital ship.
After launching its torpedo, the individual Skates disengage. Their new duty is to defend the weapon as it travels to its target, and they resume the role of interceptor, keping threats that would otherwise target and destroy the torpedo too busy to defend the carrier.

Description: Another “swarm” fighter. In this variation, three small conveyors surround a single, massive anti-starship weapon.
The nature of the weapon is variable.
In this case, the weapon is an enormous super-torpedo, which the conveyors release only once it has targeted a starship.
They are then free to act as fighters and defend the weapon on its way in, hampering attempts at intercept.
