Origin's Official Guide to Wing Commander Prophecy
Another common Alien cluster ship is the Skate family. Individual Skate ships cluster together in trios. When separated, each individual ship will be identified on a radar screen as simply "Skate." When acting in combined form, the cluster will be identified by the cluster's specialty configuration -- Skate B's are configured for bombing runs, Skate M's for laying mines, and Skate T's for launching Torpedoes. Separately, the individual ships are capable interceptors.
Delivering 250 points of damage to a cluster breaks up that cluster. After that, 160 point smust be delivered to each individual ship to destroy it.
