As other rival and allied nations continue to build a strong navy, Cetarete has decided they need to match them. Instead of normally progressing in technology, our top scientists have simply studied Aculonian and Regean vessels and improved upon them slightly. The Cetarian hexareme is comprised of 784 rowers with a 3 row, 2-2-2 rower configuration. There are 96 oars per side, or 196 oars in total, and there are two rowers per oar, therefore 384 rowers in total, then with the addition of the relief crew doubling the size, therefore 768 rowers. Then you take the 4 rowers per steering oar and their relief crew per side, which leaves you with 784 total rowers. There is also an additional 16 assorted crew for roles from captain to raising the mast totaling 800 crew. It can carry 20 archers for specialized combat from archer towers, but mainly uses the ram at its front, the first Cetarete ship to be fitted with a ram.
Leve het Cetarete!
