Large Ships; Galleons, Dreadnoughts, Junks, and Super Dreadnoughts
The Galleon
The galleon is a fairly large, high and narrow ship, used more for trade than for war. This galleon has been outfitted with fine sails made of strong canvas and has been designed for cargo capacity and speed. This ship has been crafted of the finest of iron alloys so it is very strong and has a powerful hull.

The galleon is a merchant's dream ship. Being in the large size of ships, the galleon enjoys a large perk in having considerable firepower when compared to smaller ships.
The Dreadnought
A dreadnought is a massive warship, used primarily for the transport of peopl eand war machines, but can also be used to transport cargo during peacetime. This specially-equipped dreadnought has been outfitted with the latest in technology, a fine steam engine of gnomish design and manufacture. This ship is crafted of the most robust of iron alloys.

Ahh, a true warship for the maritime alyrian. A famous dreadnought is the Merdraco, that provides free passage for alyrians between major port cities. The slowest of the large ships, dreadnoughts are actually classed as "huge", but it is not the ship with the greatest firepower, or largest cargo hold.
The Junk
Although nearly as large as the Super Dreadnought, the Junk class of ship is sleeker and more maneuverable. The Junk is built for war, but during peace time is excellent for carrying passengers, merchants, and their cargo across the seas. It is a 3-masted vessel constructed with fine iron and wood, a wondrous sight to behold.

vessel can be built for 29,000,000 gold or 195 reward units
Do not be fooled by the name of this ship. A junk is no piece of junk, it is faster than even the Super Dreadnought, and only suffers a slight hull point and firepower deficiency versus it.
The Super Dreadnought
A dreadnought is a massive warship, used primarily for the transport of people and war machines, but can also be used to transport cargo during peacetime. This dreadnought is larger than ordinary ones, aptly called a 'super' dreadnought. This specially-equipped ship has been outfitted with the latest in technology a fine steam engine of gnomish design and manufacture. This ship is crafted of the most robust of iron alloys.

Ah, the greatest battleship to ever sail the seas! Not the fastest ship, the super dreadnought is top of the line in alyria for firepower and cargo capacity. Old SDreads have a 1 knot advantage in speed, at 15 knots, compared to the current speed of 14 knots.
