Thrrak
? ? The Thrrak are a piratic race with no known homeworld. ?Their species is nomadic and their ships have been encountered in every segmentum at one time or another since the great crusade. ?Their species is vaguely reptilian in origin and require a methane/fluorine gas mix for respiration, though they can survive short periods in the nitrogen/oxygen atmospheres that most sentient races are accustomed to.
? ? Thrrak raiders are fairly ungainly crafts, roughly the sized of Imperial Cobra class destroyers. ?What they lack in design integrity, however, they make up in firepower. ?Thrrak raiders mount dozens of missile racks, rockets, self-propelled grenades, and scavenged torpedoes. ?Though these ramshackle ordnance salvos often flare out far more quickly than standard Imperial torpedoes, they are able to deploy almost twice the explosive yield of the afore mentioned Cobras, and with shorter breaks between firing.

Notes
Missile Battery: Thrrak ships mount racks upon racks of missile launchers, peppering their targets at range with high yield explosives. ?Missile batteries are a direct fire weapon. ?When attacking an enemy ship, treat the target vessel as though it was hit by a Strength 4 torpedo salvo, but no actual torpedo marker is placed. ?Turrets and fighters on CAP engage normally. ?If the Thrrak ship is on Lock-On orders it may re-roll the salvo?s to-hit rolls.
Deployment: Thrrak vessels are lone wolves, each fighting independently of its fellow ships. ?Thrrak ships are an exception to the normal rules for escorts and are never deployed in squadrons.
[Note: When I get around to building these, I'm going to use Epic Thunderbolt fighters as the base model and then tweak them to look more like space ships(and put bunches of missile tubes on their wings)]
