Tarrare (Ship)

The Tarrare is Fleet Admiral TrveMetalhead's personal combat ship and is mainly used for patrols and escorts.

Construction
After several long months of being built, her original wood was going to be made out of pine, which was a newly introduced rare wood at the time. However, due to rushed production due to an upcoming battle, she was made out of elm. The engines took three full weeks to gather and craft, while her cannons took even longer.

Engagement History
Despite being a designated patrol craft, she is often used in engagements against pirates. She is the first to be spawned, only to sit in port until she is needed. Therefore, she is not a rare sight and is always avaiable to the curious sailor.

While not having been in an offical battle, the Tarrare has been in many war raids and experienced lots of general combat, facing off with even the heaviest and most powerful foes. Despite this, she is most often able to sink them with her superb speed and agility. Her steam engine comes in extremely effective when the wind is to her advantage, allowing her to move into an advantageous position with ease.

Trivia

 * "Tarrare" is the name of a Frenchman in the 1700s who had a intense appetite, a reference to how steam engines can quickly eat up coal.
 * Elm was chosen due to the similarity to pine, while not being so heavy on the eyes.
 * The Tarrare's sails have been painted a mix of black and olive to full on green. Originally, black and green meant that she was also a pirating vessel, though this role changed as she became more involved in combat.
 * While not the biggest and most powerful ship sailing the seas, the Tarrare has faced off with Poseidons and Badgers, easily sinking them with a crew of two; a big feat for such a badly stereotyped ship.
 * The Tarrare is sometimes used as a ferry crew to smaller islands. Due to her engine, she can head up wind and save time.
 * The Torch figurehead replaced the Antler one in 7/4/2018.
 * The Tarrare is always spawned in case of a attack. She is free to tour and explore as she rests in port.
 * Currently she is one of the best maintained ships in TrveMetalhead's personal arsenal.
