Battle Dolphin

    The graceful battle dolphin is the latest human ship to appear in any quantity in the void. It combines a number of design features necessary to human travel and commerce in space. Like the hard-shell nautiloids, the bulk of the battle dolphin is enclosed. It maintains an upper 'surveilance' level which places it above the decks of opposing ships. Most importantly, the galleon-like portion of the upper deck can seperate from the main ship and make planetary landings on worlds with water ports. The small galleon is less likely to attract attention in the port of many non-spelljamming worlds than a fully-armed hammership.
    The command bridge of a battle dolphin my be located either in the forward bridge or in the detachable upper deck. Typically the dolphin shuttle is where it is located when only one helm is found on the ship.
    When in combat, there is only 1 in 12 chance that the dolphin-shuttle is struck by successful attack.
