Description: The C.E.S. Lancer is a two deck vessel that boasts forty total 100 pounder decks. It’s built wide enough to not tip itself over when firing the massive cannons and has a specialized propeller system to help it turn faster. The metal alloy itself is the reason for the name of the ship due to the original weather resistant metal alloy that was made for it had a gray tinge to it. The metal alloy was made by Saranish manufacturing plant. Modern metal alloy used for it keeps the same tint.

Historical Information
The C.E.S. Moon Queen was specially made by Queen Catalina after a group of pirates bragged about having a two ships with ten 100 pounder cannons. This ships and the three other ships Sun Queen, Moon Queen, and Diplomat were made to fight the nonexistent ships. This ship was finished shortly after the C.E.S. Sun Queen. After production this ship was used to transport Queen’s and other nobles over the country. The original metal coating oxidized and has a blood red color mixed with a silver color. The color scheme is kept in the modern metal alloys used to maintain the ship. The ship itself now only carries enough ammunition for a second shot after the preloaded cannons are fired. The extra space has been modified to allow passengers space to sleep with more rooms below deck modified for more cargo.
The creation of the “Powder shot” and celebration of graduating classes of military academies was created by Captain Latzer. Captain Latzer and Engineer Cover, without authorization, made twenty 100 pound shells with a cannonball made of colored sand. To celebrate his four sons graduating from the military graduation the crew of the ship were informed with the goal. The handmade sand shells were loaded into the cannons and the ship was taken towards Lietz Military Academy where the graduates faced the sea. The cannons were aimed as high as possible and kept out at sea before firing the full barrage sending a large cloud of colorful sand up into the air just over the sea. Queen Catalina pardoned him. This was a one time only thing though.

I loved that backstory xD nice touch!

Strengths and Weaknesses nicely balanced, and given it is sister ship i see how the equipment would be similar if not identical. I would like to ask, though, is there a possibility that anything at all could be differentiated between the ships? Like a minor detail, be it the crew's specialization in smoke shells (though that id reckon would need a sub in and of itself given there arent any :unsure:),or due to their past in cargo and passenger operations, maybe they may have retrofitted or so decks for additional cargo/passengers, which could differentiate it from the others?

Diplomat Historical Info:

The C.E.S. Moon Queen was specially made by Queen Catalina after a group of pirates bragged about having a two ships with ten 100 pounder cannons. This ships and the three other ships Sun Queen, Moon Queen, and Lancer were made to fight the nonexistent ships. This ship uses the leftover materials of its first three predecessors which were measured out ahead of time to make sure their would be enough. This ship was used to bargain with a small pirate fleet of three frigates and obtain their surrender. The ship itself transports diplomats and ambassadors to other countries but still maintains its original crew and ammo size.
Regrettably, this ship has been largely ignored and has become the forgotten sister ship. Its travels and journeys on diplomatic missions have largely been boring and uninteresting. Her older sisters have had more interesting things while bratty politicians and nobles made comments about the expensive cannons right in front of her crew.

Description: The C.E.S. Diplomat is a two deck vessel that boasts forty total 100 pounder decks. It’s built wide enough to not tip itself over when firing the massive cannons and has a specialized propeller system to help it turn faster. The metal alloy itself is the reason for the name of the ship due to the original weather resistant metal alloy that was made for it was combined from the leftover metal alloys of its predecessors. The metal alloy was made by Lavinsk manufacturing plant and is a variety of colors. Modern metal alloy used for it keeps the same tint.

Moon Queen Historical info:

The C.E.S. Moon Queen was specially made by Queen Catalina after a group of pirates bragged about having a two ships with ten 100 pounder cannons. This ships and the three other ships Sun Queen, Lancer, and Diplomat were made to fight the nonexistent ships. The pirates resent their bragging after the Moon Queen was finished but the other three were made as they were paid for upfront. People had been hired by the naval yards at the time.

It’s built wide enough to not tip itself over when firing the massive cannons and has a specialized propeller system to help it turn faster. The metal alloy itself is the reason for the name of the ship due to the original weather resistant metal alloy that was made for it had a blueish tinge to it. The metal alloy was made by Lavinsk manufacturing plant. Modern metal alloy used for it keeps the same tint.



Though I see why, i would have to ask to at least paraphrase for each particular ship. Please see for Diplomat and Lancer, and apparently on future subs, to twist the text to demonstrate the particular sub's point of view. Moon Queen was the original, per se. When were the others made? How did it come for each one to be built? You may explore a plot or even difficulties or circumstances that you do best in Lancer, truth be told, where you fixate on the individual ship.

Irrespectivelly, i would like to see the first two or so sentances be paraphrased, or entirely replaced with a whole new take on the particular subbed ship.
