 In -97 [[EC]], the ''Cronferd'' snapped its mainmast in a fierce storm. A new mainmast was installed, and the crew quickly discovered that the new mast was drowned [[Sphoxolis Trees|sphoxolis]]. The spirit of the new mainmast not only took over the steering of the ship, but was evidently able to move the ship backwards and forwards in time, an ability the crew found even more disconcerting and frightening than [[Captain Riquiras]]' "Brass Hell". However, this also enabled the ship to suddenly appear next to its victims without any warning, and the pirates became all but unstoppable. Buoyed by its successes, the ship decided that the name ''Cronferd'' was unsuitable and it insisted on being renamed ''Zugleich''. The crew readily agreed, thinking that renaming the ship might weaken the hold of the ghoulwood on the ship's operations, but, if anything, the renaming only served to more tightly bind the spirit of the ship to its hull. And, as the ship became more and more powerful, the pirate empire slid slowly to becoming a [[Vempires|vempire]].
-In late -53 [[EC]], the Sea Emperor was attacked by a group of young adventurers who sought to destroy the [[Vempires|vempire]]. They assualted the ''Zugleich'' during the day, while only a handful of its crew was on watch, and managed to strike the vemperor with [[carthage]] stakes. While this weakened the vempire of the pirates greatly, it does not seem to have finished it off. Perhaps it is a [[wive's tale]] that [[carthage]] can be used to destroy a vempire. [[Darkships]], pirates, [[sea fairs]], and smuggling, all continue on the [[Dagger Seas]] to this day, and whether or not the vempire was destroyed remains inconclusive.

-The '''''Zugleich''''' is the flagship (or should that be [[Darkships|flag''dark''ship]]?) of the fleet of the pirate [[Vempires|vempire]] of the [[Dagger Seas]].  Its exact size is unknown, but it is the largest ship present at the [[sea fairs]].  Of course, a [[Darkships|darkship]] is no more a uniform design than a [[Trundle cart]] is.  [[Darkships]] come in all sizes and configurations.  The '''''Zugleich''''' was built at sea, and has never docked at any shore or wharf.  It carries a crew of more than 100, and includes several [[Xurient]]als, [[Notar Republic]]ans, and [[Dulalian Empire|Dulalians]] among their number.

It was severely damaged and abandoned and almost lost in the Great Sea Storm of -117 [[EC]].  In -115 [[EC]] the ship was renamed the ''Cronferd'', and its luck quickly recolored.

-By -105 [[EC]] the pirates of the [[Dagger Seas]] were organized into a confederation that coordinated their activities and allocated territory to their members while forcing outsiders to either become members of the confederation or to move on and take their bucaneering elsewhere.  The Golden Era of Pirates would be short lived, however.  Within 20 years, the confederation rose to become an empire, with all sea trade and shipping traffic tightly controlled by the Sea Emperor "Scott" Roberts (b.-135 [[EC]] d.-87 [[EC]]), but then quickly devolved into a [[Vempires|vempire]].

[[Besq Boats]] are principally coastal craft.  They are relatively small and shallow, which makes them well suited to fishing and coastal trading requirements, but also makes them difficult to operate in storms and in heavier seas.
