The Morrigan was a sloop-of-war heavily modified to the needs of Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac who obtained the ship by freeing captured smugglers from British hands, after the fight Shay remark that the British no longer needed "the ship". Shay used the Morrigan as a Templar Knight during the Seven Years' War, mainly hunting the Assassins and occasionally helping the Royal Navy out with its conflicts with the French.
Armaments
With the ship's armaments and equipment funded by the wealth of the Templar Order, the Morrigan was one of the most advanced warships of her time; she was equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry such as puckle guns which the Assassin Le Chasseur managed to steal plans for from a British Ship, carronades, and burning oil, rather than the normal swivel guns, chase cannons and fire barrels. She also possessed the standard armaments including broadside cannons, mortars, and an ice-breaker ram. Due to the Morrigan's sleek design, she was much faster and more maneuverable than several other ships while still maintaining above average firepower for a ship of her size.
