Enduring Dreadnought
Type	Warship
Location	The Reach, Albion

Enduring Dreadnoughts are the main tools of enforcement of the New British Empire in Albion and its representative in The Reach, the Windward Company.

Description

Enduring Dreadnoughts are large, thickly-armoured vessels that bristle with a formidable array of weapons. Their gun fires 4 projectile that deals 2 damage per hit, and their turret fires (?) projectiles that deals (?) damage per hit. Occasionally, Enduring Dreadnoughts can be seen holding their own against groups of two or more Tackety Scouts across The Reach. As with the Tacketys, they are initially neutral to the player until fired upon. In Albion, the higher The Strength of the Sun, the less common they will be become, being gradually replaced by Glorious Dreadnaughts and Deranged Dreadnaughts.

The massive guns of the Dreadnought have finally fallen silent. The hulk hangs in the firmament like a shed spider skin in a web, viewed from the vantage of the fly. Its sides are scored and open, its windows shattered. Smoke billows from its blind eyes. London will not see what transpires here.

Check the navigation suite If the Dreadnought kept secrets, they are here.	Looting ≥ 1 and ≤ 50	Entirely legal The suite is upholstered in scarlet velvet and brass, like an opera box with artillery. Unused weaponry lines the walls, their shadows spilling over the empty glasses strewn about the comfortable chairs and tables.

		Strange trails The lanterns have all gone out in the suite and no candles are left to burn. The light of far off stars filters through the shattered stained glass in iridescent shadows. Among the darkling haze of colour, you uncover a chart detailing some very illicit trade routes indeed. Was the Dreadnought on the trail of smugglers? Or was it looking to supplement its income, far away from London's watchful eyes? +1 x Unlicensed Chart Sweet Jane's Vengeance x Charred Stovepipe Nameplate
Rummage in the kitchens An engine of this size had many stomachs to fill.	Looting ≥ 51 and ≤ 100	Heaven's bounty Your chef is delighted at the abundance of food still intact in the kitchens.
