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

The '''Astraeus''' is a level 10 ship with a high cargo capacity, formidable armament, and a strong hull.  It's size and low speed make it an easy target for enemies, however, if not sufficiently manned.

 

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.
