Shipwright says... The Astraeus's massive guns will make any enemy think twice before attacking.

The Astraeus is a level 10 ship with high cargo, incredible armament, the third highest hull strength in the game, and a low speed.

A great use for the Astraeus is as a flagship. Her unholy armament and high health pool mean that with minimal support from allies it can devastate anyone foolish enough to get in its way, though this ship can be countered by ships of greater speed such as the Marauder or Stiletto

Countering the Astraeus is not difficult for experienced pirates, most likely using the Stiletto, Marauder and Phoenix ships. The Astraeus's mediocre turning speed and rear cannons makes it likely to be sternlocked, unless viable support is nearby or if the rear guns remain intact.

Trivia

• One could assume that the Astraeus is named after the greek Titan god of dusk.
• Similar to the Atlas and Prometheus, the Astraeus has a captain's quarters with a large Map inside.
• Players often shorten the name of the Astraeus to "Astra."
