==Wa Fleet== One of the little things about [[Spelljammer]] that its fans don't like to talk about much is that the [[Forgotten Realms]] was an inordinately prominent part of it. One of the ways this manifested was that the Grand Admiral of the [[Elven Imperial Fleet|Elven Imperial Navy]] was from [[Toril]]. Another was that the Toril nation of Wa was a thriving spelljamming faction, maintaining a large fleet with multiple unique models of spelljammer... which is kind of a surprise since [[Kara-Tur]] had largely been presented as a fairly [[Low Fantasy]] part of the Realms... Probably the big reason the Wa Fleet exists is that their distinctive [[Oriental Adventures|Chinese/Japanese aesthetic]] makes a good excuse for fairly unique-looking spelljammers. Born out of terror after seeing the Shou Lung and Elven fleet, Wa's emperor got a 140-person group together, and they produced the Tsunami and Locust ship after a decade of R&D, [[Just As Planned|only to all die a month later in a "freak" alchemy Fire accident]]. Wa has an intimidation and secrecy policy with fleet power focused on a few Goliath-sized ships supported by a cloud of tiny speedboats with a death wish, and to also have half the entire fleet must be in the air at all time while the other half is hidden across secret cave hangers. The emperor would like to keep his fleet a secret from rival nations but hard, given the Tsunami, a ship more at home in [[Dreadfleet]], to not draw addition when rolling up to the obscure port of Akkaido. Be warned while making a pit stop at Wa, under the emperor's order, if you leave your ship, they will kill you on the spot. The Wa fleet is particularly notable for using its own unique take on the [[Spelljammer Helm]], the blatantly obvious Ki-Helm. ===Foxship=== ::Built By: ::Used Primarily By: ::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: ===Locust=== ::Cost: 375 to 500 gp to 1,500(typo or black-market prices?) ::Ship Type: Flitter ::Tonnage: 3/4 ::Hull Points: 1 (8 normal pc hp) ::Crew: 2/3 ::Manueverability Class: A ::Landing - Land and Water ::Armor Rating: 4 ::Saves As: Light Wood ::Power Type: Rudder of Propulsion ::Ship's Rating: 6 ::Standard Armaments: 1 Light Catapult (aft) or Light ballista (Foward) ::Cargo: 750 pounds of Greek/Alcamy fire, ammunition, or one passenger ::Keel/Beam: 14 ft/4 ft. Basically a two-man starfighter, but a cheap speedboat, maybe a WWII Japaness dogfighter is a better comparison. As the same suggests, they move fast, they die in one hit, roll a nat 1 on your attack roll and the ship snaps in half and crushes you to death, and they swarm like crazy. For each Tsunami ship, it is escorted by at least 20 Locusts. ===Tsunami=== ::Cost: 600,000 gp ::Ship Type: Flagship+ ::Tonnage: 200 ::Hull Points: 200 ::Crew: 75/200/300(at full plague capacity) ::Manueverability Class: C ::Landing - Land ::Armor Rating: 2 ::Saves As: Metal ::Power Type: Ki-helm ::Ship's Rating: As per helmsmen ::Standard Armaments: 3 Medium Jettisons, 6 Bombards, 12 Heavy Ballistae, 10 Heavy Catapults ::Cargo: 100 ::Keel/Beam Length: 950 ft./70ft. Described as a massive aquatic centipede or [[remorhaz]], having flexible segments that allow it to move like a sea serpent. It's the largest Human ship ever constructed, coming at just a 150 feet longer then the USA's Iowa class battle ship, with 6 are known to exist (plus 2 off the records if taking writer misconception as cannon). Interestingly enough six Iowa battleship were built with two more laid down but never built an Amazing reference if intentional. A tsunami carries a full "plague" of 36 Locust ships, stored in the Tsunami's legs. The leg hatches can aslo be users to let the ship crawl on land but this is mainly used to run the ship to safety when attacked while grounded. It is illuminated by magic lights and a garden to recycle air. Because of the size, it needs a lot of people with levels in [[Weeaboo Fightan Magic]] classes to keep the Ki-helm at full capacity. <gallery> Tsunami Spelljammer.png War-captains-companion-map-1-b.webp|tsunami with a full "plague" of Locusts.
