The Imperial Navy
Charged with patrolling the Empire's coastline, they transport soldiers back and forth around the Empire as required.
Personnel Descriptions
- Sailors are generally experts or commoners with sailing skills. In combat they defend their own vessel using boarding pikes and clear the rigging of enemy vessels with light crossbow fire.
- Marines are warriors, trained as maritime light infantry, who operate the siege engines and are the first line of attack. They wear studded leather armour and fight with cutlass and buckler in melee, but have access to light crossbows for ranged combat..
- Rowers provide power for the various galleys and warships of the imperial Navy. Although they are mainly commoners, they are the second line of attack, clambering over the side of enemy ships, en masse, armed with boarding pikes. Who would be a rower?

Vessels
You can find details of these vessels on The Naval Dockyard page.
- Local Patrol Vessels are used for patrolling Harbours and very local waters.
- Area Patrol Vessels cover the wider area, particularly on rivers and lakes.
- Small Galleys are ideal for coastal (and, perhaps, lake) patrols.
- Men-o-War are sailing ships, equipped for war. They are capable of covering long distances.
- Warships are sailing galleys, with heavy firepower and a marine detachment, that are mainly used in local waters.
- Great Galleys are, perhaps, the largest and most powerful vessels in The Hann Sea - however, they don't cope well with open water, or in oceans.
