the Vindicator was more than just a ship. It was a symbol of the values and ideals that the Federation holds dear. Its crew was made up of some of the bravest and most dedicated men and women in the seas, who put their lives on the line to protect their fellow citizens and uphold the principles of justice and freedom.

The Vindicator saw its fair share of battles and conflicts, but it always emerged victorious, thanks to the skill and courage of its crew. But the Vindicator was more than just a tool of war. It was also a vessel of exploration and discovery, venturing into uncharted regions of the seas and making contact with new civilizations.

In short, the USS Vindicator was a true marvel of engineering, a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Federation, and a shining example of what can be accomplished when we work together towards a common goal. It will always hold a special place in the hearts of those who served aboard it, and in the annals of Federation history.

#### USS Spirit:

The USS Spirit is a new ship dear to the hearts of the men and women. It represents the brothers and sisters lost at sea. It was constructed with the hearts and minds of the crew as a symbol that you may be gone but never forgotten.

#### USS Kittyhawk:

Many mistake a cat for being weak, foolish and incapable. Those have never faced the Kitty Hawk on the seas, the ship was constructed to be a defender of the seas and unexpectedly enough as well as a sanctuary for stray cats whenever she was docked at port. A Lot of the sailors enjoy the company of the cats onboard and they seem to boost the morale of the crew so there was no reason to kick them off the vessel, so they were allowed onboard whenever the ship was not on any voyages. However on the seas, the Kitty Hawk proved to be a formidable adversary against any pirate foe, both as a chaser of an immovable fortress against the dangers in the Sea of Thieves.

#### USS Gambit:

The USS Gambit is a ship that was won in a game of chance between the the crew of the USS Vindicator and the Gold Hoarders. So confident were the Gold Hoarders in their luck and in the magnitude of their fortunes, that they told the Vindicator's crew to pick anything they could see as their prize if they won. What they did not expect, however, was for the crew to pick the fastest ship in the Gold Hoarders' fleet, The Golden Gambit, which happened to be docked within view. What the Gold Hoarders also didn't expect, was for them to lose that fateful game.

Even in the face of defeat, the Gold Hoarders admired the moxie of the Vindicator's crew, and honored their deal. How could they not respect such a gamble? It was in the ship's name after all. As the Vindicator's officers finalized the paperwork for the transfer of ownership, they renamed the ship the USS Gambit, honoring the ships legacy and the Gold Hoarders who held true to their word, even in defeat. They hoisted the USN's colors and set sail into the horizon, adding a powerful new ship to the USN's Wilds Fleet.

The Gambit's name is reflected in her design. The hull and capstan are painted with card suits, symbolizing the gamble one takes every time they set sail upon the Sea of Thieves, of whether a voyage will end in fortune or failure. The figurehead, the golden vase with treasures flowing behind it, symbolizes good fortune and prosperity, appropriately placed on the front of the vessel as we ever sail towards those ideals. We can't win every bet we make though, which is why the Vindicator's crew kept the Hoarders' weathered cannons and wheel. They weren't pretty, but still served their function well, and their appearance in contrast to the elegance of the rest of the ship symbolizes that any bet or chance taken has the opportunity to end poorly. Any time you set foot on the deck of the Gambit, let her design remind you of the chance you take any time you set sail on the Sea of Thieves, and to prepare accordingly, lest your gamble end in a loss.
