Cradle of Contra

== Overview ==
The Cradle of Contra was a ship that acted as the command ship of the Staron Fleet, Grigor Fleet and Deerhold Fleet during the first part of the Uprootings conflict. Acting as Duke Lythe Armitage's primary vessel to travel, it was completed in 199 AG at his request, and only sailed for two years, sinking in its first battle when confronted by half of a fleet of the Grenthyx Armada in the New Frontier Stratagem. The ship was often looked down upon, being particularly small and notoriously unreliable. On the rare occasions other leaders had meetings in the ship with Lythe, they all exited with a profound distaste for the ship, both in terms of its space, décor, lack of speed due to owning so many cannons and general perceived uselessness. Indeed, although it was fitted with many cannons, they were extremely out of date and the gunpowder wettened by leaks. This was suspected to be the reason for its sinking in the Stratagem - being unable to fire a cannon of retaliatory fire before it began to sink in the battle. Luckily for him, the Duke was not present on the ship at the time, with a skeleton crew and his captain being killed.
