Jasani Sakurti Diver
Divers are naval ships so named for their speed, which is said to equal an Avani while in a dive, and the Sakurti is no exception. These sailing vessels of the Jasani navy are designed to travel at high speeds while carrying a greater punch than most ships. This is made possible through the use of artillery-level Firebolts, which are powerful enough to act as siege engines while small enough to fit 8 of them on each side of this light ship. It has a much longer range than the anti-ship Flares and Seafire used by other nations, and does more damage than longer ranged weapons like Hwachas or ballistae that are mostly designed to fight monsters or airborne Avani.
Sakurtis, other than packing a punch, are also relatively light ships and can manage average speeds of nearly 10 knots (which can increase to about 15 under the right conditions). This is a significant advantage when it comes to facing the heavier warships necessitated by the different armaments other nations possess. They can literally turn circles around an enemy ship and hit it with barrages that tear them apart. Their small size also means that it is that much more difficult for traditional weapons to get a good shot at them. Sakurtis can also be used as craft that light infantry can fly from for an amphibious assault.
Jasani is one of the few nations with a serious navy, and these ships are a significant part why. Vessels like these can act as both capable warships, fast patrollers, and effective siege engines depending on the need. Early prototypes proved their worth during the Jasani conflicts and few other vessels can match this versatility.
