Yes, the quantum space torpedo. Has a generator that starts up upon exit
of
the tube and then begins to build up a field  that tears wholes in space
time. The disturbances grow more violent but more randomly dispersed
around
the torp until the shortlived generator burns out.

It's been done at least 4 times before, but in each case prior to FB1
and 2. 
  So, into the breach I go with Yet Another Babylon 5 Conversion
(YAB5C).  I 
think with the new Fleet Book rules there is enough information and
updated 
systems that the conversion can be fairly vanilla.  In some cases things

will have to be addressed differently than they are in the core rules.	
Another problem with other conversions was in many cases they did not
cover 
all the races as completely as I would have liked.  I am basing my 
conversion totally on the AOG line of Fleet Action figures, if they
exist 
there then I want a SDD for the ship.

My motivation is I have all of these wonderful AOG Fleet Action figures
and, 
though I like Fleet Action, I think a Full Thrust version would just
rock 
the house.  Now, I know that Saint Jon did the Earthforce Source book
but 
since I can't get a copy of it and since I doubt he made decent money on
the 
effort I think this is a better course of action.  Also, it will force 
people to buy all 4 books in order to use it so in a way it is to GZG's 
benefit too!  Several members of BattleGroup Boston are actively working
on 
this project and hopefully we will have some useful SDD's for you to
look at 
and use.  Right now the website is just a place holder and contains some

newrules ideas that we've hashed out over beer but have yet tried over
lead.

The website for this effort is:

I believe it was meant to "J'ai pete" (I have farted).
