Nightwatch
The Nightwatch was a warship commanded by the pirate Jaego Roth. [1]
Histroy
Jaego sailed the Nightwatch from the icy seas of the north to the foggy shores of Lustria. [1]
Returning home in the Nightwatch, Jaego found his home ravaged by a vast war hulk made of lost ships and a vast metal kraken. To his horror he discovered the his wife, child and father has all been killed during the raid. Laying them to rest he made a vow to avenge himself on Count Noctilus. [2]
Aboard the Nightwatch, Jaego reached Altdorf and demanded aid of the Grand Theogonist himself - but he was refused as the Empire was already at war and the cults holy weapons were needed elsewhere. Enraged he boarded and stole the Heldenhammer, leaving his first mate Salt Pietr and a small crew abord the Nightwatch. As the equally enraged Imperial fleet pursued them they were caught between the massive batteries of the Heldenhammer and the guns of the Nightwatch, destroying several before the Nightwatch was sunk and allowing the Heldenhammer to escape. [2]

It was armed with a heavy cannon at the bow and four cannons facing port and starboard. [1]
