Kestrel

The Kestrel is the first mortar ship most players will have access to. Its ability to mount a Medium Mortar provides a long-range combat capability unavailable to the average merchant or pirate, however it is rarely seen in combat due to being outclassed by the Manta in speed, durability, and firepower.
