Hammer of the Witches
Purpose built as one of the first super galleons of the new century, Vegamos Shipwrights outdid themselves when they laid the keel for the Hammer of the Witches in 201AV; her cargo capacity was nearly twice that of any other galleon ever built, her speed was comparable, and the cost of her armament alone could bankrupt entire communities. She was, without question, one of the most advanced and technologically superior vessels ever built, with the firepower to contend with even the mightiest of opponents.
A mutinous crew ultimately led to her being turned over to pirates operating near the Isle of Ratha, who in turn surrendered the vessel to Jourok and the Red Sash Pirates in 212AV.
