A smaller, abridged model of the popular Warbird lineage, the D'tallax Torpedo Warbird is a shortened hull that loses most of the rear hull section in exchange for a more efficient and streamlined energy coupling system which allows the hull to mount no less than six plasma torpedoes fore and two aft. The D'tallax Torpedo Warbird is used for quick strikes on enemy targets, decloaking at optimal torpedo range, delivering its deadly payload, and then recloaking. Such sniper attacks can easily wear down enemy formations making it easier for other D'deridex Warbirds and support craft to dispatch the fleet later. The D'tallax, however, lacks any appreciable anti-fighter defense, and as such relies on escorting ships -- such as D'ridren Destroyers -- to protect it from enemy light craft.
