11Brethren Brig is a brethren variant of the Brig ship class in Windrose. A brig is a versatile war-capable ship that stands between trader and warship. Favored by captains who expect trouble. Brethren ships are true sea fortresses, thanks to their exceptionally sturdy hulls and spacious holds. However, they pay for it with speed. Build one at the Wharf with the right Ship Design plan, then outfit the cannon, hull, naval tactics, and boarding party slots before setting sail.22Overview66PropertyValueHitpoints90,000Max Speed18Cargo size32Main battery6 guns, 12 lbsCrew50SecondaryNoneRestoration costMedium88Strategic Role99The Brethren Brig is the fortress build: heavier hitpoints, more cargo, slower sail. Designed for sustained slugfests, siege-style combat, and long cargo runs where survivability matters more than speed. Brethren hulls pair naturally with Naval Tactics IV: Shipshape for out-of-combat regen and defensive hull bracings.1111Mobility1313The hull shape is shared with the stock Brig, so turn rate and turning radius are similar to the stock class, while the variant's Max Speed is listed in the Overview above and may differ from the stock Gear 4 reading. The variant's listed Max Speed differs from the stock class because the Brethren variant runs slower than the stock baseline (Max Speed 18 kn vs 20 kn). The gear-by-gear table below lists the stock Brig speeds as a reference; the Brethren variant's actual gear speeds will be lower across all gears. Hull bracing, hold load, and wind angle still apply on top of these baseline values.1515See the Overview for this variant's Max Speed. The gear-by-gear breakdown is listed on the parent class article and applies subject to the variant's specific Max Speed cap (some variants top out below the parent's Gear 4 reading).1717Build Cost1919Construct Brethren Brig at the Wharf after learning Ship Design: Brethren's Brig.

The following items can be mounted on Brethren Brig at the Wharf interface once the hull is built.2626Cannon Slot2828Brethren Brig carries a main battery of 6 guns at 12 lbs (no secondary battery on this hull class). Each slot can mount the baseline cannon of its caliber or any of the three ascendable variants (Devastating, Perfectly Ordered, Tempered). See Ship Cannon Loadouts for each variant's exact Rare and Epic effect, and Shipwright's Workshop for the crafting interface.3030Hull Slot3232The Hull Slot accepts the baseline Hull Bracing or any of three Rare-tier ascendable variants: Hull Bracing: Iron Resolve (fortified HP), Hull Bracing: Keelhold (repair-kit duration unaffected by damage), and Hull Bracing: Standfast (cheap-material tradeoff).
