(This post contains high amounts of lore and should not be related to actual history.)

The Lady Junnifer was the previous flagship of the Cashew Navy, before the current Cashew-made flagship, The Giants' Keeper. The ship was named after the Admiral's daughter, Junnifer. The Lady Junnifer now rests in the Pistachio Port of Lost Legends, where most of its hull his authentic recreation. The ship suffered heavy losses, including the death of the Captain, the Admiral and his wife, all elite marines, and over half of the ship's crew. The crew itself 56 men, including 8 marines belonging to the Captain, and 10 marines belonging to the Admiral. The ship was extremely unique in the fact that it had two captain's quarters, one being for the Admiral. The Admiral's ship, the famous Queen Clarisse, was only used in long sea voyages, but the Admiral's sea legs required more waterborne adventure. The ship was specifically made for that feature, and took place as the Cashew flagship after the last was lost in battle, when the sails snapped, leaving the boat drift into higher seas, where it was never seen again. The Lady Junnifer, however, had a different story. In a very similar battle, the ship and its assisting ships was leading a ferry of soldiers through a wide channel in the Almond Strip. The initial attack was by a band of pirates, leading 3 vessels, but the group name was never recorded. However, before any action could be made, another attack from a similar group, consisting of an additional three ships appeared at the entrance to the channel. With little time to maneuver into the position to broadside, the Cashew ships were destroyed nearly instantly. Several crew members, including the chef, doctor, and Admiral, were all forced from the ship along with chunks of debris. The description of the ships, or their firepower, was never noted in any instance. The event itself was only told through the eyes of the survivors. However, a few years later, the ferry transport was found, beached on the coast of the Almond Strip, about nine miles from the channel entrance. Confirmation of the ship was declared months later.
Though the event was tragic, with total casualties reaching over 400, the memory of The Lady Junnifer was savored. It was believed to be one of the most powerful ships of its kind.
  • An eighteen cannon broadside, with eleven carronades and seven great guns (each side)
  • A total of twenty carronade 18-pounders
  • Thirty-six sailors (including the chef and doctor) and eighteen elite marines
  • High-class firearms, more advanced than those of other nations. As the creators of gunpowder, the Cashews were famous for their strength in battle. After exile into the sea, their firearms were still heavily used and developed, becoming arms of fiery, explosive rounds, that brought high damage to the hulls of ship, as well as having the chance to set them on fire. The explosions created by the shots were able to fuel the fires with oxygen, making a very, very handy firearm, leading them into naval success
  • The Cashews were MOST famous for their ranged combat and vessels. However, that does not exclude the other sides to combat. With the payments for making very expensive material transports, the Cashews were able to design cutlasses, sabres, and other blades with a very shocking twist. The average blades were made of iron, however, the edges and points of the blades were welded with sharpened diamond. This caused anything in their path to practically turn into butter, or at least turn yellow with fear. The swords of high-ranking officials in the Cashew Navy were awarded their blades to have gold hilts, with white-gold and gold rain-gaurds. An average officer's blade would commonly go for six hundred gold nuggets (the price of about forty warhorses)
(Leaving the lore zone)
This build took about 12 hours total to build, when added up. I worked on it for several short periods over a few days. This build is not 100% complete, because some features of the boat I am tweaking still (if you look closely in some of the screenshots, you can see what I mean). A full tour of the ship will be featured in a video, eventually, most likely in the Pistachio Port of Lost Legends.
A diamond would go very much appreciated if you enjoyed this, and I would like to hear some feedback on the lore. This is all part of the Emperor of Cooking Ingredient's (or Eoci for short) Domain, which is an extremely large world, made of much smaller maps. Many of these maps will be eventually made and published, but for now, mostly just text.

Sorry about the previous update, the screenies still fail to upload. Once I figure out what's going wrong with it, I WILL be uploading them, but for now, all I have available is the two screenshots, which are now not up to date.

Version 2.0 is being uploaded soon, with the bottom cannons more concealed to reduce the chance of flooding. Also, some details have been changed. Whenever PMC allows me to upload the other screenies, they will go up.
