Torpedos were some of the earliest space-borne weapons avaliable, and continue to play a huge role in modern warfare. Basically Missiles without propulsion, relying on initial speed and inertia to take them to their targets. This makes torpedos strictly close-in weapons, although they do massive damage to compensate. All torpedos need a dedicated laucher to operate. Each Faction has it's own Torpedo technologys they use exclusively.
Torpedos can be remotely detonated in game by pressing Shift+Weapon group assignment.

Proton Torpedo
The Proton Torpedo is the weapon of choice for UGTO commanders. Of the torpedos, the "P Torp" as it is often called, has medium range and average damage. Proton Torpedos are a standard nuclear device, detonated by a feeder explosion, bombarding the volatile core with protons. The resultant detonation is highly damaging with a large blast radius.

Fusion Torpedo
The direct technological descendant of the torpedo used aboard the ill-fated Guardian, the ship that saved Earth from Ragnarock, this torpedo is the most well grounded and dependable of the warring factions. The torpedo itself is an active nuclear fusion reaction suspended in in a decaying magnetic field, controlled by a small command module. The reaction is started at launch by the injection of deuterium from an on-board cache. While the modern iteration gives much more stability and control than it's ancestor, it still has a limited range and the slightly archaic technology means the torpedo is the least damaging.

Not strictly explosives, and nowhere as modern as the common torpedoes in use, Sabot rockets are the ICC's link to their war history centuries old. They result from the attempts to combine guided missiles and early Rail gun technology, which culminated into development of a multi-fire missile launcher with kinetic acceleration. Explosive material is not used in Sabot rockets due to safety concerns of launching them at extreme velocities. Current modifications include dense material in the rockets to boost the damage to Armor. Standardised sabot launchers load 6 rockets which are simultaneously fired, dealing high damage.

Alternative weapons at par with the weapon are yet to be developed and tested, so QST cannot be replaced with another weapon.
