General

Although lightly armored, Xebecs are fearsome hunting ships. They outperform all other ships against the wind and carry a large crew for boarding action. The sleek variant is faster and tougher than the regular Corsair.

History

The xebec owes much of its design to the earlier galleys and galleasses of the Mediterranean. The root of the name probably comes from an Arabic word for 'small ship', and is rendered into English in three forms: 'xebec', 'chebec', and 'zebec', though the word exists in many other languages as well, indicating its popularity (or at least knowledge of its existence) in the rest of Europe. read more...

Strategy and Use

In Pirates of the Burning Sea, we expect a variety of players to sail the xebec. It will turn up as an available ship for naval officers of low rank, roughly on par with the sloop-of-war, though it is not of course one of the rated ships. Merchants and free traders can buy the xebec from civilian shipyards, probably for making numerous short-haul runs within a particular island chain. And pirates, of course, should get great use from this swift, sharp hawk of the seas.

Distingushing Characteristics

This ship has 10% faster reload times over the 'Corsair' Xebec, is faster, has a larger crew and cargo capacity.
