SPECIAL FEATURES
- Updated Reinforced Hull
- Low-tech, low-grade powered propulsion
Updated Reinforced Hull - Traditionally, wooden ships were sensitive to many things, not just weapons fire. These newer ships hulls are better fitted and reinforced with a strong inner hull, and an outer hull that is both decorative and structurally sound and strong.
Low-tech, low-grade powered propulsion - The ship uses Galderra Solar Sails and microrepulsors to travel both by wind and power, and can travel with both at the same time, or one or the other.
Strengths:
- Correct Weapon Placement - Explosive and flammable weaponry is only used above deck so no accidents happen on the inside of the ship, causing accidental combustion. Possibility accidents or damage self-caused are scarce.
- Reinforced Hull - While not comparable to a traditional galactic fleet vessel, the ship is capable of absorbing hits from all non-flame or explosive primitive weapons. It can even take a hit from a single large primitive projectile cannon
- Flammable - It's 99.9% wood. While average fire-based weapons wouldn't 'melt' or burn the ship out of existence, the ship can catch fire, and eventually cover or consume the ship to its watery grave.
The S.O.T.L.-s (Ship Of The Line - Sails) Brigand-class is the premier warship on Pzob, owned and operated by the Fort Galderra Navy, and rarely ever seen in anyone elses hands. The King's Edict, named in honor of King Eddak Manod - as some had come to mock him as "Mister E-Dick" or "e'dic't ma'nod" - is the personal and private vessel of King Eddak. The ship is rarely taken out of port, but when it does, it is usually when Eddak is personally seeing to his expansion or helping to reinforce new harbors. It is a slightly modified Brigand-class, but only having additional extensions to the body and a couple more weapons. Still, with the Brigand-class being the Judge and Jury of the Pzob seas, the King's Edict is best known as the seas Executioner. It also stands as Fort Galderra's sailing Flagship. It has been known to increase morale of fellow soldiers that see it.
