-{{ :consolidated:shiptypes:sambuk.png?100|}}**The Sambuk** is one of the most common merchant ship in the Land of Fate. It has a keel length of 75 feet and a beam (width) of 20 feet. The crew is 15 sailors; in addition, the sambuk can carry up to 80 passengers or 90 tons of cargo. The sambuk has a cabin area at the stern of the vessel; which is divided into a large living area for the crew and passengers, with smaller rooms for the officers.  The sambuk is navigated with a stern-mounted rudder and lateen (triangular) sails, and is capable of making deep water journeys, although it is never a comfortable passage. Cost 13,500gp.

A galley can be any large ship that primarily relies on oars for propulsion, but also contains one to three masts with sails. Galleys typically stick close to the coast, as long ocean voyages are risky in such vessels. This stat block can be used to represent a variety of historical galleys, from biremes and triremes to galliots and dromons.

The catapult on the fore and aft firing platforms can be swiveled to fire out the sides of the ship or either forward or aft, depending on their position. The catapult on the amidships can be swiveled to fire out either side of the ship.
