Agusta

Lore

Fire & Steel

The Augusta is an Italian-built ship sailing under the Spanish flag, crewed by Italians promised not only a share of the cargo they carry but also land to eventually settle in the Spanish colonies.

Aesino de la Nave

Lore

Spanish Main

The "Ship Killer" is armed with huge bore cannons capable of devastating short-range damage. Capitán Gonzalo Mora first rose to prominence on her deck.

When the Asesino de la Nave was captured by the Revenant after refusing to surrender, El Fantasma put the entire crew to death. When Capitan Gonzalo Mora managed to recapture the ship a year later, it was said that the screams of the dying could still be heard.

(Note: The second paragraph comes from a version of this ship called "Aesina de la Nave," which is only in the first addition of the Spanish Main set. Since that ship's flavor text says "Aesino," we could assume this is a typo. However, it could work either way. Google translate says aesino means "assassin," while aesina means "murderess." They're probably the same word, but applied to different genders.)

Almirante Devante del Nero

Lore

Spanish Main

Almirante del Nero, commander of the Armada de Barlavento, is a man driven almost mad by his zeal to rid the Spanish Main of pirates. To fail will be to fail his duty to God. His vision is so singular that he even secretly corresponds with his nation's enemy, Governor Lynch of Jamaica.

Almirante Carlos Pavón y Miranda
