Lorcha

The Lorcha is a Valanese junk-rigged ship capable of sailing close hauled. It is surprisingly fast for a merchant vessel, capable of speeds comparable to a Brigantine.

It has the same cargo space and the same number of guns as a Coastal Barque but it has more crew capacity and is built for sea voyages rather than short runs along coasts and up rivers.

These ships are a common site in the Circle Sea and in the Tropics of Mazorta and they are often carrying Valanese spices and exotic luxuries.
