S.S. Auxerre. After a substantial duration dedicated to design and countless months of meticulous planning, refining, and reconstructing, I am finally confident to post her here in all her magnificent grandeur. While still very much a WIP, which is evident from her lack of draught at this point Auxerre's appearance is the embodiment of elegance and magnificence which already serves her nickname well, "The Lady of Splendour".
