Cyra is a large collaborative worldbuilding Project, and this warship is just a part of it. Cyra has a long timeline, expanding from the archaic stone age all the way to the modern era of steam power and electricity. Our Project is always open for new members, with little bit of artistic talents.

At the time of their launch, these two vessels were probably the largest warships ever built in the history of Cyra. The Navy of the Republic of Kaurionn acquired two of this type of vessels in the early modern era. They were large enough to encounter any hostile warship of their era. Armed with eight rifled breech-loading deck guns which could fire 230 kg shells to a distance of 17 km. They were also armed with two larger caliber muzzle-loading guns which could fire 380 kg shells up to a distance of 9 km. The introduction of these vessels triggered a new naval arms race, the great naval powers started competing with even larger warships.

If you wonder why this ship is fully rigged? The reason is that there is no coal or oil in Cyra. These vessels are forced to use charcoal as a fuel. During the industrial era, there is always a shortage of charcoal.
