Royal Sovereign
The Royal Sovereign was one of five legendary ships, encountered by the pirate Edward Kenway in the Caribbean, during the 18th century. She was the sister ship of HMS Fearless; both were identical, save for the reversed coloring of their sails and hull. They could be found sailing beyond the Bahamas, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
The pair became notorious for sailing in tandem and for their tactics in naval warfare. They could flank an enemy ship, surrounding her from both sides, and firing upon her with devastating power. If either Fearless or the Royal Sovereign was sunk, the other one would set herself alight and use her maneuverability to viciously ram the opposing ship. Despite their tandem battle strategies and impressive firepower, both ships were eventually sunk by Kenway's Jackdaw.
Trivia
- Historically the Royal Sovereign underwent a 'Great Repair' from 1722 to 1725, probably referencing her battle with the Jackdaw. She remained in service with the Royal Navy until 1768 when she was broken up.
- The Royal Sovereign and the HMS Fearless do not have a seperate database file but rather another ship with the same model (Though the HMS Fearless' Colors and with red crosses of the white sails of ths Soevereign) which is called the Brothers-in-arms suggesting that it was originally intended to be one ship to be fought before becoming two of them.
