The Estalians

"The arrogant Elves seek to destroy the world. They are foul unbelievers that must be fought..." - King Rodrigo X

"The Estalians are a proud and noble race misguided by the religious fanaticism of their Inquisition. Estalia, whilst consisting of several disparate and sometimes warring kingdoms has naval forces which, when united against a common foe, are a force to be reckoned with. The Estalian navies have as their backbone massive galleons, much like those of the Bretonnian fleet, each carrying many guns, and quite capable of holding her own against our own Eagleships. ...."

  Ship Name	Description	Statistics
  Estalian Galleon	The mighty Galleon of the Estalian fleets are very much similar to their Bretonnian counterparts, but are evn more ornately gilded and decorated. They bear a large crew complement, and a devestating broadside attack of cannon. These ships sail line astern, trying to jockey into a position from where they can sally forth, and unleash their firepower on several foes at once.	Armament: 5 broadside cannon batteries
  Estalian Privateer	Many merchants and Dukes of the Estalian kingdoms operate their own small squadrons of warships, often hiring professional sailors known as Privateers. The ship of choice of the Privateers is the Bretonnian Corsair, a devestatingly powerful and fast vessel. Operating in squadrons, these ships can badly maul most opponents, and must be kept at arm's length.	Armament: 3 broadside cannon batteries
  Estalian Galley	The Estalians have a bustling trade with the other nations of the Old World, and to protect this trade, they use coastal defence vessel not unlike the Imperial ramships. These War Galleys are often crewed by men press ganged into the service of their overlord, and as the seas are rife with pirates and worse, they are expected to die quickly.	Armament: 1 forward cannon battery, ram
