Drake-class is the flagship type of ship of the Salamander Armada
About
These enormous battle ships seem to rise almost organically from the water, their vast, armoured hulls topped with coal-black gunports and towers, making them look almost like floating volcanoes. Their gundecks are packed with heavy guns, and their crews often comprise a contingent of Corsairs, whose firelocks pick off enemy commanders and elite troops during boarding actions with impunity. Upon the Drake’s craggy aftcastles, scorchwings perch, awaiting the call of their master to swoop down and attack the enemy in a fiery conflagration.
Desciption
At the prow of each Drake burns a Crucible of Flame, which smoulders ceaselessly, until an arkosaur commands the greater fire elemental within to come forth and smite their foes.
The only real weakness of the Drakes is their lack of manoeuvrability. When they were first built, the Salamanders’ enemies were few, and their ships lacked the speed or firepower to cause such mighty vessels any trouble. As times move on, the Salamanders steadfastly refuse to adapt, putting their faith in these implacable gun batteries – and so far, that faith has not been misplaced
