As with most sailing ships, a brig is defined by its rig. A brig possesses two square rigged masts. To improve maneuverability, the mainmast carries a small fore-and-aft sail. Brigs originated in the second half of the 18th century and were a common type of smaller merchant vessel or warship from then until the latter part of the 19th century. In particular the brig became popular amongst pirates who favored them for their speed and maneuverability.
This ship has been designed to be as close to the historical record as possible, however since we must live within a world of 5 foot squares certain compromises were made to simply make it usable as a battle map.
