Travel Speed. This is the galley's typical travel speed, with
the rowers working in shifts and a light favourable wind (if
the galley has a sail).

War Speed This is the galley's combat speed in feet, using
fully crewed oars making power strokes, and no sail.

Passengers. Passenger occupancy is utilitarian and for short-
term voyages only.

Polyremes
Polyremes are warships developed from the pentenconter.
They benefit from a full deck and multiple banks of rowers.
The rowers on light polyremes are also able warriors, while
heavy polyremes make use of slaves or convicts.
Crew. The vehicle statistics give crew numbers for the
captain, rowers, supterintendants, weapon crew and marines.
The other deck crew might include lookouts, pipers or
drummers, a quartermaster, a doctor or cleric, and
shipwrights (for minor repairs or organizing portage).
Nomenclature. The names of polyremes are derived from
the number of rowers on one side of the hull per
interscalmium (or "cross-section"). For example, the trireme
(or "three") has one rower for each of three oars on each side
per interscalmium. The hexareme (or "six") has two rowers
for each of three oars on each side.

Super-Galleys
To acheive more formidable warships, nations with access to
a lot of timber and manpower can construct catamaran
galleys — two fully-oared hulls bound together by a
rectangular weapons platfrom, bedecked with multiple
archery towers, command tents and siege engines. These
"super-galleys" resemble floating fortresses.
Crew. Super-galleys typically have 200 oars (50 along each
hull side) on two or three banks. They make use of slaves
rather than trained oarsmen, relying on huge numbers of
marines to repel boarders and to make amphibious assaults.
Slaves often do not work in shifts and work until they drop
(and thrown into the water). This does not adversely effect the
ship's speed so long as fresh labor can be captured from
coastal settlements or enemy ships.
Armament. The upper deck has multiple lithoboloi along the
fore, port and starboard edges. Often, one or two of these
weapons along each edge are replaced with harpax to
prevent faster enemy ships from escaping. Archery towers to
the fore and aft resemble small forts.
Prestige Ships. These vessels are the end result of one-
upmanship between coastal navies. They are perhaps too
cumbersome to be used effectively in battle, except to inspire
fear with their tremendous size. They might be constructed
as prestige ships — a showpiece for a single short journey.
Such a ship will be highly decorated, with painted hulls,
sculpted wales and festooned command tents.
