OUT-OF-CHARACTER INFORMATION

Ship Name: Wreckingwrecks
Credits: Image 1
Type: Seaship
Purpose: Warship
Consolidation Thread: N/A
Architect: Eshkin Pirate clans
Description: Large bulking ships made out of iron and scraps, crewed by vermin of the Eshkin race and decked out with various unholy weaponry that put most other vessels to shame. These boats are made for destruction and excel at exactly that their long and wide build allows for a row of cannons and guns to be placed along the hull, and even the rear and tip of the Wreckingwrecks have been equipped with weapons of mass destruction. This creation is one of the nightmares for every sailor.

ATTRIBUTES
  • Defence:Average
    • Defensive Elements: Reinforced iron hull and larger-than-average crew size
  • Offence:Very High
    • Offensive Elements: Doom cannons, Dragon Maws, Ratling Guns, angry boarding crew of Eshkin
    • Durability: Average
  • Scarcity: Provincial
  • TvM Requirement: 5vX


STRENGTHS

Weapons: These vessels are equipped with the most advanced of Eshkin weaponry, outpouring the old-fashioned cannons and bows of other vessels.

Defensive: Both the iron and scrap build and the larger-than-average crew manning these ships make for a formidable defence against attackers.


WEAKNESSES

Slow:
The large hulking build of this ship, in addition to the scrap-built engines, make for a slower-than-average speed compared to most other ships sailing the seas.

Requires fuel:
The Wreckingwrecks consume Doomstone to fuel the engines and weaponry of the ship, without the fuel it sits in the ocean defenceless and unable to move.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Eshkin were not satisfied with the conquest of all the lands, they needed a way to conquer even the oceans and rivers of Terra, and so the council gave birth to a new clan of rats. These vermin were given the task of building a fleet and training crews to man the collection of ships being built. Surprisingly the clan rose to the challenge, seeing the vast oceans as territories other clans could not take from them once they ruled the seas. With the support of the council large deposits of Doomstone were brought to the sea caverns of the pirate Eshkin clan. This greatly sped up the production, and soon after the first Wreckingwrecks were sent out to sea before sinking to the bottom of the lagoons. The loss of materials was a minor setback to production but after the execution of the lead engineers it was discovered a greedy Eshkin had purposely left faults in the boats, to get rid of the other higher-ups and rise in rank. This scandal left the council no choice but to extinguish every member of the research team and start a new one with a second set of energies whose previous project failed due to limitations in their resources. This decision turned out successful for the Eshkin clans as floating Wreckinwrecks soon after littered the lagoon's waters. Nowadays these vessels patrol the seas close to Eshkin territory, never being able to sail to fahr out due to their large consumption of Doomstone as fuel for the machinery.
