Mosae Fighting Galley ready for war against the Lions' Empire and their allies.
About this creation
I built this ship for my Mosae faction, a samurai/ninja theme type army. The Mosae Fighting Galley is a ship which combines Far-East and Mediterranean design. The closest historical match to this fantasy ship is that of the Roman Galley or Phoenician Dromon; a two deck, two masted ship, with a reinforced and rebuffing hull, whose purpose is to ram or raid enemy ships. Serfs man the oars, a crew mans the upper deck, and the warriors fire catapult, arrows, and raid the enemy when they draw near. In my Lego Castle timeline and history, the Mosae are currently at war with the Lions.
