Barra Orca

Known as the fastest ship on the seas, the Barra Orca is the infamous pirate ship owned by Captain GoldFang. His pride and joy, the ship has gone through many modifications to make it incredibly fast, and there are many stories of the pirates using her to use hit and run tactics on targets or to escape the clutches of authorities. The ship is the bane of many governments and organizations, and it itself has one of the highest bounties of any pirate, even higher than than Captain Goldfang's. It's often said that the day the Barra Orca is captured will be the day the era of pirates end.   The bow of the ship has a carving of a roaring sea serpent.   In some stories sailors and officials claim that the ship turns into an actual sea serpent, and dives deep into the water in order to escape.

Propulsion

Most of Barra Orca's propulsion comes in the form of the wind pushing the ship along via her sails. However when extra speed is desperately needed, she has a magical propulsion system. It can only last for a relatively short period of time and is expensive to fuel and maintain, so it is usually saved as a last resort.

Weapons & Armament

There are very little weapons o the Barra Orca compared to typical pirate ships, with just four cannons being their main ones. Any more and the ship's speed would be negatively impacted.

Armor and defense

The Barra Ocra's main defense is her speed and maneuverability, making her hard to hit and catch.

Communication Tools & Systems

The ship's main communication system is a series of small flags that can hoisted high up the mast and be seen at a distance. There are dozens of different flags, each with their own meanings. Some of these include, 'Surrender or sink!', 'I surrender!', 'Illness on board', 'Sea monsters near', etc.
