Man-o-War
Man-o-War
In the Elven Imperial Navy, the Man-o-War is second only to the Elven Armada. Quick, versatile, and powerful, the Man-o-War looks much like a massive plant-like moth or butterfly flying through space. With its powerful wings, it can quickly move itself into a better position for attacks. This has made the Man-o- War one of the more maneuverable ships in space and a terror for the enemies of the Elven Imperial Navy.
Model Variations
The Man-o-War comes in a handful of varieties, but like the Cutter, the most commonly available ones are not grown in the Elven Imperial Navy shipyards but built out of wood.
Starfly Hull
The starfly variant is the original grown by the Elven Imperial Navy. This variant is exceptionally difficult to find if one isn't given one by the Elven Imperial Navy. This variant gains the following feature:
Starfly Hull. This ship can be healed by the Repair Hull spell multiple times per day.
Thick Wood Hull
This is the wooden variant crafted by shipwrights not associated with the Elven Imperial Navy. This variant is more commonly found, but its speed is reduced to 2,500 ft. (90°).
Fighter Carrier
This variation was originally designed by the Elven Imperial Navy, but other shipwrights have also begun
to mimic its design. When grown by elves, this variation is the same as the starfly, but its speed is reduced to 2,500 ft. (45°) and it loses 3 of its medium hardpoints. In exchange, its cargo hold is increased to 50 tons. When created by other shipwrights, this variation is the same as the thick wood hull, except its speed is reduced to 2,500ft (45°), it loses 3 of its medium hardpoints, and its AC is reduced to 15. XT I
In exchange for these reductions, the cargo hold on both types is increased to 50 tons. This allows the Man-o-War to carry up to 10 fighter bays for deploying fighter craft, whether they be Battle Flitters or Blades. The Elven Imperial Navy almost exclusively use this variation for carrying large numbers of elven bladesingers prepared to use their swordsmanship skills in a Spirit Warrior.

Mobile Saloon
This variation is usually created by independent elves or dwarves that are looking to make it into a saloon. This variation usually starts as the thick wood hull, and then has its speed reduced to 2,500ft (45°) and its AC reduced to 15 in exchange for \ its cargo hold increasing to 42 tons. This storage space is used for stockpiling anything that travelers might pay a premium for. Most of the time, this is alcohol or drugs. After months of travel, most sailors are more than willing to pay the considerably higher Д

MAN-O-WAR 1 medium catapult Crew: 3 1 medium jettison Crew: 3 Cargo: 30 tons Keel Length: 200* Beam Length: 20' Description Built on the largest hull available outside of the great armadas (see below), the man-o-war is a highly maneuverable, well-built ship. These elven ships are grown from glossy, relatively brittle plants, giving them their shiny, ethereal appearance. The ships remain “alive," much like a tree, throughout their life. The man-o-war’s crystalline wings require constant pruning and shaping to keep the ship from becoming too unwieldy. All elven ships may be repaired in the normal fashion since blocks of wood and even stone can be grafted onto the ship. This is possible as long as 20% of the ship remains in its original position. Losses beyond that point are unrepairable. Even if the ship should survive a battle in which over 80% of its original structure is damaged, it will need to have its hull fully restored (at twice the listed price for such repairs).
Crew The crew of an elven man-o-war depends greatly upon what it’s being used for. Adventuring ships have few set positions below captain, while naval vessels have a highly structured chain of command. Ship Uses Free Adventuring: The elven man- o-war is a good adventuring craft for deep space. As long as the ship’s users have no intention of making planetfall with the craft, it should serve them well. In addition, any character with forester or woodwork і ng/carpentry proficiency should be able to keep the ship in good trim. On such adventuring vessels, standard positions are loose below the level of captain and owner. Adventurers usually paint colorful signs and sigils on the ship and the graceful wings of the man-o-war. One notable exception to this is the Company of the Singing Void, whose man-o- war is painted jet black to match the space between the stars. Military: The man-o-war is the workhorse of the elven Imperial Navy, and as such is found in great numbers where these ships swarm. The organization of the naval man-o- war’s crew is much tighter than on an adventurer’s ship, with an organized chain of command ranging from the captain through the first, second, and third officers, primary and secondary helmsmen, and elves assigned to the various battle pits throughout the ship, such as firefighting, boarding, and weapon teams. The helm of an elven naval vessel is located in the midsection of the ship, just below the bridge. The bridge itself sits squarely on the back of the man-o-war between the wings. Forward, within the "head" of the butterfly, are the twin ballistas, firing
from positions in the eyes. The catapult is located just to the rear of the bridge and is covered by a retractable dome. Finally, at the rear of the ship's abdomen, is a medium jettison, located just aft of the cargo bays. The elven navy adheres strictly to this particular man-o-war design. Individual captains and admirals who change the basics of the craft are reprimanded (though often along with a commendation for battles won using those unofficial modifications). Other Configurations Personal Modifications: Adventurers are not so limited as the navy in their perception of the man-o-war, such that lower-armored, heavier- winged craft are common (with a reduction of AR to 8 and an increase in MC to B). Sacrificing maneuverability for better armor is much less common, since speed and turns seem to resolve man-o-war battles more than armor. Weaponry is also up to the user, though most captains shy away from bombards, greek fire, and other fire-using and explosive devices due to the nature of the ship. Wild Men-o-war: If cast adrift and left to themselves, men-o-war (and almost all elven craft) continue to grow, their crystalline wings curling in on themselves in ornate spirals. If such a ship is found in the wilds of space, and made functional, its MC would be E, and its AR 9 (older growths are more brittle). These poor ratings could be corrected by repairs to the ship equal to restoring half its hull points, done by individuals skilled in forestry or woodworking.
