Skaven Clanfleet
The Skaven Clanfleets are made up of ramshackle vessels created by by the engineers of Clan Skryre [1a] and those of lesser clans such as Clan Rikket, Clan Skuttel and Clan Skurvy. [2a]
The Clanfleets often emerge in times of war from the Blighted Marshes, having slunk down the trench dredged out from the city of Skavenblight threatening the port cities of the Tilean Sea such as Miragliano, Remas and Tobaro. They have also been sighted of the coast of Estalia and as far north as Brionne. [1a]
Most fleets consist of a large number of smaller vessel, each with hundreds of skaven swarming inside them surrounding the larger vessels such as Doombringers. Although most are crewed by clanrats and slaves, Stormvermin and Rat Ogres are sometimes present, providing a much more dangerous prospect for boarding actions. [1a]
Air Defence
Massive firethrowers are sometimes mounted on Skaven vessels to burn enemy flyers out of the sky, although like most Skaven technology there is chance that it will simply explode when used. [3a]
History
Clan Skurvy was ordered by the Council of Thirteen to build a new fleet at Spineport to support the attack on the High Elf citadel of Calith on the southern tip of Cathay. [2b]
