Ship Class: "Hachiman" Blood Dragon Gunship
Weapons possible: Seven gunship class turret placement locations: two on the bottom, one on the top left, one on the top right, one center placement top of the ship, one behind on the back, one on the front bow.
Forward cannon?: Yes, forward gun installed upon on the tip of the bow
Crew needed: Ten max
Crew possible: Ten to twenty

Based upon the escort craft designed to ensure the safe passage of the Emperor of old, the Hachiman retains little performance to suggest itself as a dated craft. Bearing state of the art communication equipment to dictate the flow and ebb of battle, these front line command posts command battlefield situations as readily with the command of flurries of fighter vessels as they do with the gun.

The sanctified nature of these craft dictate that they pass from father to son, from family to family. Each ship is a treasured tribute to battles fought and lives lost. To find one outside Blood Dragon hands is unthinkable and the deaths of those whom try is undeniable.

Currently used as a service vessel of the Blood Dragons, the Hachiman is used as a forward combat vehicle as a forward assault ship against the Kusari Naval Force and her fleet. The ship was first employed by the current fleet against a Kusari class battleship and her escort destroyer. While the ship is not made to overstep large opponents, she can easily take on ships equal to her own class or smaller.

Boasting her large forward cannon, the Hachiman can strike targets far away from itself while the crew remain within safe distance of her allies or friendlies. Due in part, most of her guns point forward, causing any ship ahead to normally go evasive to avoid the fire the ship can bring in such short notice.

The only known weakness of the Hachiman is her rear defense, while in front of her, one may be fearful of her fire, behind her, she is nothing more then almost defenseless. The workers of Mito's shipyard are currently working on a workaround for the gunboat because due to this defenseless rear, she is easy to be flanked.

Name: Mt Norikura
Class: Proto-type
Details: Manned with only twelve people, Mt Norkiura is the first Hachiman employed for use by the Blood Dragon's newest party. While not as fearful as her older siblings, the captain of the Norikura has seen enough fighting in the ship alone to know how to use her against most enemies.

She is not as armed as well as her older siblings, she is technically a proto-type and is still respected as such. Seeing as such, she is the test bed for all future Hachiman gunboats that will be employed by the Blood Dragon's.

Name: Mt Senjo
Class: Proto-type
Details: Just like her older sister Norikura, Mt Senjo is the second test bed for the Blood Dragon's Hachiman gunship. Employing heavier weapons but not as heavy armor, the Senjo is tasked to testing its power capacity, weapon defense area, assault ability and shield strength.

Name: Mt Ashigara
Class: Assault
Details: Flown by warrior Kohaku, the Ashigara is a heavy gunboat class ship employed by the Blood Dragons as a forward assault ship. It is also deployed as a forward outpost and comm's center away from bases.
