Oversear

Vehicle Type: Sea
Class: R
Armor: 33%
Threat Level: 45%
Speed: 22%
Information: According to the Scrolls of the Sea, this ship moves with the tides of an aquatic planet where civilization has two choices. Either live at the mercy of the sea or live with the sea. The former of the two involves building ports and island barges that ultimately are destroyed by tidal waves and large sea creatures. The latter is a more peaceful approach involving staying along the limited shoreline and utilizing the offerings of the sea such as fish and the various corpses of marine life that wash ashore. Those that follow the second method are rewarded by the visit from the Oversear.

This barge is said to dock only in areas where the citizens have found a perfect balance living with nature. It rewards their hard work and effort with unimaginable treasures. The clam that rides this barge, though clearly not sentient, is said to be the keeper and judge. If upon docking it opens its shell, the citizens of the township are deemed worthy of its treasures for the limited time it is with them.

The Oversear is said to dock for only half an hour once every month. During the rest of the month, it travels the vast global seas through areas said too dangerous for any normal ship to follow.
