Lurker - Class Subspatial Starship
Subspatial Starship as used by the Hyperion Federation, capable of firing small but powerful torpedoes frontally. The torpedoes aren't very maneuverable, so they favor an anti heavy role. They can, however, reach the normal plane of space even when fired from higher dimensions.
The Lurker was designed by an Aquris history fan. Due to this perticular individual being highly experienced with historical submarine warfare (back during the pre space Leosus Ring World wars), this person was highly inspired to design a space submarine design similar to those that fought on the ring world. The closest thing was the subspatial starship technology, so that was used.
From there, he used submarine history to place torpedoes on his design. He also gave the Lurker a role similar to that of historical submarines. They would be used for an anti heavy role due to the slow speed and large size of torpedoes. The Lurker rarely leaves its high dimensional subspace during battle. So instead, the Lurker relies heavily on stealth. All factions have some form of subspatial starship technology, so any lurker captains know to be careful.
