Sea Scourge First Age light battle cruiser
The ship's design is solid and functional, if somewhat inelegant. It's sides are flanked by 74 Medium Concussive Essence Cannon on three gun decks with at least 12 on each side of the deck. The guns are crewed by pairs of Terrestrial Exalted who may have a synergistic Charm that allows both of them to attune to the gun so if can still be fired if one of them becomes a casualty. The gun crews all wear water jade lamellar armour that makes them float in the water in case they are blown overboard. All the weapons are operated by the gunner's Essence since there's no way they'd be able to find enough level 3 hearthstones for the whole battery, let alone all the guns in a fleet. Every gunnery officer is an Experienced Terrestrial Exalted with an Essence of 4 or 5 so they have enough Essence to power their gun for a reasonable time. Each battery on the side of a ship is a combat unit with three gun captains, two of them acting are heroes so the decks can fire independently to maximise firepower. A contingent of marines on board wear water jade articulated plate that also allows them to float in water and carry artefact weapons.
In single ship combat a ship would probably have to be used as several different combat units with the captain acting as the commander of a larger force.
The Gunnery Captains are hand picked Experienced Terrestrial Exalted from the gun crews who have leadership skills.
The ship's hull is made from water jade making the vessel self-propelled. It has masts that hang sails of air jade to boost it's speed. The whole vessel is an artefact rather than Magitech.
