Galleons are the largest ships in the merchant navies of the The Thousand Isles and the pride of The Merchant House. Sturdy, powerful but slow, they can brave the roughest seas and carry large amounts of cargo.
When armed for war they can deliver an impressive broadside but lack maneuverability and speed.
Galleons generally carry anywhere from 50-200 crew, depending on whether they are sailing in peacetime or war.
Guven the great cost of their construction and the pride taken in them by their owners they are often lavishly appointed and decorated.
