Raven-class

The Raven-class battleship was a Gilnean designed ship-of-the-line that sailed during the period of the Second War. Having been designed off the premise of then top of the line Tirassian ships that had been salvaged during the war, the Raven-class was meant to propell the Kingdom of Gilneas and the Gilnean Navy ahead of that of their Tirassian rivals. The Raven-class was markedly advanced for its time, speculated to be able to stand aside current line ships in the Grand Alliance. The Raven-class was launched towards the end of the Second War, seeing extremely little use due to this, and only held five within its ranks by the end of the war. During their sailing period, the Raven-class was held exclusively by the King's Boys. Reportedly capable of taking on two dreaded Ogre Juggernaughts on at once due to sheer firing power, the Raven-class was speculated to have been the strongest ship in the Allance naval forces at the time. When the war ended and Gilnean borders were closed, Raven-class ships were never able to live up to their aspirations with the shutting of Gilnean borders and the erection of the Greymane Wall. The remaining Raven-class ships were dismantled along with the rest of the Gilnean navy and their design plans stored away.

The Raven-class design was ultimately lost during the Invasion of Gilneas during one of the multiple attacks on Gilneas City. As a result, despite a desire to see them sail once more, the Raven-class was made defunct. Naval researchers have found that, should the tales of their might be true, with modern modifications the Raven-class could easily serve alongside ships such as the Gryphon-class destroyer as a heavy vessel of war. Interest in reviving the design and improving upon it to jumpstart the Gilnean Navy and their forces has drawn a high amount of funding.

Reconstruction and revitalization of the Raven-class is currently being undertaken by Ashen Coast Engineering and Construction, using salvaged notes, the memory of surviving builders of the ships, half legible designs, and the salvaged remains of the HMS Aderic.

Known Raven-class Ships

 * HMS Aderic, destroyed and salvaged. The Aderic sank during a skirmish near Hillsbrad and was left under the sea for sometime. The only physical remnant of the class, the Aderic's design has offered invaluable insight into the recreation of the ship.
 * HMS King's Fury, dismantled.
 * HMS Determination, dismantled.
 * HMS Flint, dismantled.
 * HMS Indominable, dismantled.
 * HMS Duskfeather, attempted revival of the class.
