Malvada Armada Fleet Composition

The bulk of the Malvada Armada consists of around 35 barco de chatarra, four missile corvettes, three SkyLance destroyers, and two floating sea bases. In addition, the fleet has a support complement of several hundred Surface Threshers and Perimeter Quadcopters, 20 cargo tenders, 10 tugs, 10 SeaSkimmers, 8 Trojons, and four oil tankerS.

The Armada’s three SkyLances are the decisive hammer of the Armada. Gran Diablo y Pequeño Ángel took control of the vessels 15 years ago when the Sindicato Empyre collapsed following its leader’s murder. The fleet’s flagship, the SkyLance Ọlọrun, is an Ancestor attack vessel and the pride of El Capitán Pequeño Ángel. Its armaments include rail guns, hypersonic glide missile turrets, and incendiary devices. El Capitán Gran Diablo commands the Magüi, a SkyLance that has been modified to act as a launch pad for the jump-pack powered Guerraro De Asalato. The third SkyLance, Eshu, is captained by Raffa del Pino. The Eshu is the operations workhorse and spearhead of most attacks, taking the most risks. Together the three SkyLances are referred to by pyrates as Trío. The SkyLances are carefully maintained by Sénior Ingeniator Learqco in the Habaguanex Foundry and Cielo Hangars.

Keeping the Armada afloat is resource-intensive, laborious, and occupies much of Gran Diablo y Pequeño Ángel’s attention. A host of capitáns, tenientes, and quartermixters are tasked with preparing ships and crew for battle. Much of the Armada’s expansion is to ensure an ongoing supply of resources to maintain hundreds of vessels. Considerable effort is made to protect the Skarabayo 15 and 19 hydrocarbon rigs, with a floating sea base and powerful vessel complement typically fixed at each location. SeaSkimmers, Surface Threshers, and Quadcopters regularly patrol the route between Habaguanex and the Skarabayos.

Threatening the Malvada Armada’s ships and logistics are brazen Tyde Kyndrid Kongresses, Seablight Entities, clandestine Cibernetica Legión attacks, and surprise Meridian Dragoon patrols sent by the Hopesail Confederacy.
