 Sailing ships are differentiated by their mast placement, cabin placement, and the way the sails are rigged.  Light sailing ships are smaller, lighter and have two masts, while standard sailing ships have three masts and more sail.  Men-o-War normally have four masts, extra sail and much heavier armament.  However, many of the basics, such as speed and crew requirements, are the same.   The Hann Empire favours Square Rigged ships, while the ships of Sakar generally have Lateen sails and the ships of Sinan can be identified by their battened junk-rig sails. Sailing ships are differentiated by their mast placement, cabin placement, and the way the sails are rigged.  Light sailing ships are smaller, lighter and have two masts, while standard sailing ships have three masts and more sail.  Men-o-War normally have four masts, extra sail and much heavier armament.  However, many of the basics, such as speed and crew requirements, are the same.   The Hann Empire favours Square Rigged ships, while the ships of Sakar generally have Lateen sails and the ships of Sinan can be identified by their battened junk-rig sails.

 Military vessels are not generally available to PCs, or other civilians.  However, in exceptional circumstances, a PC with a Privateer contract may be allowed to purchase a Corvette.  Military vessels have smaller cargo holds than their civilian equivalent, as cargo space has been converted to bunks or accommodation to house marines and officers.   There is always a Master Gunner  (an artillerist) a Marine Lieutenant and at least one Naval Lieutenant in the ship's complement. There are always a couple of Ship's Boats aboard, to ferry officers around or land the marines. Military vessels are not generally available to PCs, or other civilians.  However, in exceptional circumstances, a PC with a Privateer contract may be allowed to purchase a Corvette.  Military vessels have smaller cargo holds than their civilian equivalent, as cargo space has been converted to bunks or accommodation to house marines and officers.   There is always a Master Gunner  (an artillerist) a Marine Lieutenant and at least one Naval Lieutenant in the ship's complement.

They normally carry a ballista on the foredeck and rely on their complement of 10xmarines to subdue vessels. In times of war, they  carry a larger complement of marines. \\ [[pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:shipsstats#light_galley_military_vessel|Click here for Light Galley specifications]]|
