I don't know where the Lance Mark X designations came from, nor the anti-matter/fusion distinction.

Quick write-up on torpedoes. I wanted to get in the information from Action Stations so it wouldn't get overlooked. Table obviously needs a lot of work and the information comes from an old LiveJournal entry by LOAF. I understand where the Mark IV and Prophecy designations come from but where do the other Mark statistics come from; what's the link? Also, are we absolutely certain that the Prophecy munitions are all fusion warheads, or is this an old fan rationale? - Bob 06:20, 30 August 2010 (CDT)
