Fralab - Class Subspatial Starship

A small Subspatial Starship of the Tranal Nomads.   The Fralab class has, like all TN ships, been built to be fast even when flying through subspace. They are also fast in 'regular' space, thanks to its powerful fusion thrusters. Like the Lbbnalanab - Class Battleship, these thrusters are fuelled with the same fuel tanks as the fusion reactors. However, unlike most TN starships, the Fralab is not built with as much redundancy as other TN ships. This is due to it being far less likely to take a hit due to being a subspatial starship.   It also is very weakly armoured and shielded and has no form of CIWS defence, so Fralab captains tend to never surface anywhere near a battlefield. The Fralab class was built as a TN answer to enemy heavy ships. It carries several torpedoes, all of which are extremely powerful and can find their way to normal space after being fired. They will home in on the locked ship and likely cause heavy damage to it if they can make it through enemy CIWS defence undetected. It is also armed with some small secondary weapons, but these are rarely used. The Fralab is fitted with a very small, if advanced proton-proton chain fusion reactor. Only one. Due to size constraints, the ship cant operate smaller reactors.
