Notes

Cluster Fighter. Any three Skates may merge together to form a single Skate-B, Skate-T or Skate-M (the choice of which is at the GM's discretion).

Description: Another common Alien cluster ship is the Skate family. Individual Skate ships cluster together in trios. When separated, each individual ship will be identified on a radar screen as simply "Skate." When acting in combined form, the cluster will be identified by the cluster's specialty configuration -- Skate B's are configured for bombing runs, Skate M's for laying mines, and Skate T's for launching Torpedoes. Separately, the individual ships are capable interceptors.
