11Brethren Frigate is a brethren variant of the Frigate ship class in Windrose. A frigate is a true ship of war, meant to dominate open waters. 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.22Overview66PropertyValueHitpoints200,000Max Speed16Cargo size52Main battery12 guns, 24 lbsSecondary battery6 guns, 12 lbsCrew50Restoration costHigh88Strategic Role99The Brethren Frigate 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 Frigate, 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 cap below the stock class' Gear 4 reading. Hull bracing, hold load, and wind angle still apply on top of the baseline values below.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 Frigate at the Wharf after learning Ship Design: Brethren's Frigate.

The following items can be mounted on Brethren Frigate at the Wharf interface once the hull is built.2626Cannon Slot2828Brethren Frigate carries a main battery of 12 guns at 24 lbs and a secondary battery of 6 guns at 12 lbs. 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).
