Twodecker

A twodecker is an oared warship with two decks of oars for momentum, from where it derives its name. Usually a long vessel that can reach higher speeds than its heavier, taller counterpart ships, twodeckers are a staple of most naval forces. They are used by the Sevicians, Duscadorians, Erenneese, and many more.
== Use ==
The twodecker ship is seen frequently in a great variety of naval situations, primarily as a combat vessel for many navies. Faster and smaller than many other ships, such as its largest sister, the threedecker, it is primarily utilised as a fast shock-tactic type of ship. A standard twodecker has two sets of oars - or "decks" - on each side, and employs more than a hundred oarsmen. Its wide topdeck can carry hundreds of infantry, which are used in combat situations to board enemy ships. Occasionally, twodeckers are fitted with large crossbows or ballistae as mobile assault platforms, though these roles are usually reserved for larger 
During the Second Duscadorian-Sevician War, at the Battle of Cartesium, the speed and flexibility of the smaller Sevician twodeckers played a key role in securing Sevicia an important victory over the larger Duscadorian fleet.
