==[[Elven Imperial Fleet]]== The ships of the Elf Imperial Navy are highly distinctive amongst other spelljammers, in that they are ''grown'', not built. Each elf ship begins its life as a magical plant indigenous to both [[Wildspace]] and the [[Phlogiston]] called a [[Starfly Plant]], which literally flies through space as part of its lifecycle. Elves seek out the fruits of these plants and use their magic to carefully sculpt and shape the embryonic space-tree, warping the seed into a distinct shape and creating a living ship. Whilst these ships are famously quick and agile compared to their manufactured counterparts, they are much more space-dependent than other spelljammers; many elf-jammers are incapable of landing on anything other than an air-world or a spacestation. ===Armada=== ::Built By: Elves ::Used Primarily By: Elves ::Ship Type: Flagship ::Tonnage: 100 tons ::Hull Points: 100 ::Crew: 40/100 ::Manueverability Class: D ::Landing - Land: No ::Landing - Water: No ::Armor Rating: 5 ::Saves As: Ceramic ::Power Type: Major helm ::Ship's Rating: ::Standard Armaments: 6 Heavy catapults, 6 Heavy ballistae, 2 Heavy jettisons, 3 Bombards ::Cargo: 50 tons ::Keel/Beam: 300ft./30ft. ::Cost: 400,000 gp The largest ship in the elven fleet. Far so than their other ships, it's the death penalty if a non-elf nation owns one. The wings have been stiffened so the upper portion can be used as landing pads, having 40 Flitter ships parked <gallery> Armada-2e-Front.webp|2e Front Armada-side-2e.webp|Side Armada-4e.jpeg|4e </gallery> ===Armada, Monarch Class=== ::Built By: Elves (obsolete design) ::Used Primarily By: Elves, Drow ::Ship Type: flagship ::Tonnage: 100 tons ::Hull Points: 100 ::Crew: 40/100 ::Manueverability Class: D ::Landing - Land: No ::Landing - Water: No ::Armor Rating: 4 ::Saves As: Ceramic ::Power Type: Major helm ::Ship's Rating: ::Standard Armaments: 2 Heavy catapults, 4 Heavy ballistae, 2 Heavy jettisons, 2 Bombards ::Cargo: 50 tons ::Keel/Beam: 300ft./50ft. ::Cost: 400,000 gp A rare ship with only 6 made by the fleet before the Unhuman Wars, as a precursor to the Armada. Like the Armada, they are also a carrier for Flitters. They are painted orange. Wings are not organic unlike most elven ships, so they can't regrow when broken. <gallery> SJA2 Skull&Crossbow MONARCH ARMADA.png </gallery> ===Man-o-War(2e)/Star Moth(5e)=== ::Built By: [[Elves]] ::Used Primarily By: [[Elves]] ::Ship Type: Large ship ::Tonnage: 60 ::Hull Points: 60 ::Crew: 10/60, 13 (5e) ::Maneuverability Class: C ::Landing - Land: No (2e), yes (5e) ::Landing - Water: No (2e), yes (5e) ::Armor Rating: 7 ::Saves As: Ceramic ::Power Type: Major helm ::Ship's Rating: As per helmsman ::Standard Armaments: 4 Large Weapons; 2 medium Ballista and 1 medium Mangonel, 1 medium jettison ::Cargo: 30 tons ::Keel/Beam: 200ft./20ft. ::Cost: 100,000 to 240,000 gold pieces (2e), 40,000 gp (5e) The second largest of after Armadas. being organic like most elven ship, it regrows and can be easily repaired by grafting wood and stone, and the crystal winds need constant pruning and shaping else it overgrows into unusable shapes. In absence of the Elven Imperial Fleet in 5e, the ship was renamed to the Star Moth, and is the main vessesl The Astral Elves, who also don't like it when other people use their ships. A improvement from Star Moth to Man-o-War was gaining the Flitter's ability to land on the ground and water despite the acquired wing shape. (guess astral elves are less hung up about the possibility grounding will steal the helm). <gallery> Man-o-War color.png Sais-star-moth-splash.png|5e Side Sais-star-moth-the-dark-star.png|Front Asis-star-moth-splash-rear.png|Back Sais-map-2.13-star-moth.jpg </gallery> '''Archaic man-o-war''' ::Built By: [[Elves]] ::Used Primarily By: [[Elves]] ::Ship Type: Large ship ::Tonnage: 50 ::Hull Points: 50 ::Crew: 10/50 ::Maneuverability Class: D ::Landing - Land: No ::Landing - Water: No ::Armor Rating: 8 ::Saves As: Ceramic ::Power Type: Major helm ::Ship's Rating: As per helmsman ::Standard Armaments: 2 medium Ballista and 1 medium Mangonel ::Cargo: 30 tons ::Keel/Beam: 175ft./20ft. A older version of the man-o-war.

Most aren't equipped with jamming helms at all, but instead are deployed when in an air envelope as gliders, typically to carry elves from a "mother ship" to another vessel or down onto the surface of a planet. <gallery> SJS_Flitter.png </gallery> ===Radiant Ship=== ::Built By: [[Drow]] ::Used Primarily By: [[Drow]] ::Tonnage: ::Hull Points: ::Crew: ::Manueverability Class: ::Landing - Land: ::Landing - Water: ::Armor Rating: ::Saves As: ::Power Type: ::Ship's Rating: ::Standard Armaments: ::Cargo: ::Keel Length: ::Beam Length:
