Carronade

The carronade was a short smoothbore, cast iron cannon, originally developed for the British Royal Navy of Old Earth and reinvented on Safehold by the Kingdom of Charis.

Its main function was to serve as a powerful, short-range anti-ship and anti-crew weapon.

Merlin Athrawes helped Ahlfryd Hyndryk, Baron Seamount in developing a new design of light carronades for the Royal Charisian Navy's galley fleet.
