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).
