Altranic Trade Ship

The Altranic Trade Ship is the primary merchant vessel of the Altranic Guild, a trading company that operates from the island of Skuld.

These ships are neither pretty nor swift, however they do have the second largest cargo capacity of any merchant vessel in the world. They also pack something of a punch, having 16 guns that can deliver a broadside comparable to a Sloop Of War.

Their design is based along the same lines as the Fluyt but they are much bigger and have a cargo and crew capacity that outstrips even a Large Fluyt.

Pirates who consider capturing one of these vessels risk much. The Altranic Guild is protective of its ships and their Trade Ships are sometimes accompanied by an escort war ship, most often a sloop or two. However the reward is often worth the risk as these ships are known to regularly carry a wealth of luxuries.
