   No.

   Why should it be?  Confed didn't make them nor have them in stock.
They didn't have or produce the fighters designed to launch them.  Only
a limited supply were made of this terror weapon.  Torpedoes and other
heavy bombs do a great job of blowing stuff up already.  Why would the
Midway, of all ships, have Flash-Paks (even if Confed somehow decided to
use them), it didn't even have any really heavy craft.  And how do we
know Flash-Paks would even have any effect on the Nephilim?  We already
know they don't work against more advanced Confed ships.. and certainly
the Nephilim hulls are made out of different material/organic
material/advanced material that's at least as spiffy as the Vesuvius
hull that was invincible to Flash-Paks.  Erm, so, no.  It's perfectly
reasonable that we see no Flash-Paks in Prophecy.
