The Tournament Ark

Around a mile long and half as wide, a gargantuan ship sits too far off shore to be concerned with the petty dealing of the land dwellers. Likewise, those on land do not worry about the sorded things that happen far from their shores.
While tecnhically mobile, The ark will anchor for months if not years at a time.

Demographics

Pirates, outlaws, outcasts and villians.

Government

There is no law on the ark. Those who are stronger than you take what they wish. If you are weak your options are to not be caught or to serve those stronger than yourself in exchange for protection.

Defences

While The ark mainly survives on its fearsome reputation and terrifying population, it is well armed with harpoons, mainly used for fishing, but also for grabbing ships which come too close.

Tourism

Most who come to the ark are desperate and see no other option.
The Pit on board is legendary, but is tenfold moe brutal that terrestrial fight pits. all those who enter fight to the death. no mercy is granted and any who do manage to survive without a win are generally thrown overboard for the entertainment fo the croud.

Natural Resources

Fish and basic crops that are grown on small floating farms mainly serve as emergency food preserves.
The main resource that the ark has is gold.
Every fight, every bet, every interaction aboard, a small percentage is taken by the ark and with this the ark can buy what it wants when it wants.
Other trading ships will consider the ark as a port by itself, and in exchange for non-hostility will bring specific goods to to and from the shore.

Population

Several thousand
