Vargr: Military Organization

A. The word "barque" entered English via the French term, which in turn came from the Latin barca by way of Occitan, Catalan, Spanish, or Italian.

B. Bark could be the hull configuration most optimal for trade in Vargrspace.

C. Corsair, by itself, is more descriptive of function, rather than a boat type.

D. Three hundred tonnes seems a pointless compromise, so we'll keep the legacy four hundred tonnes.

E. Five hundred tonnes seems to turn up in Adventure Class Ships, not sure why.

F. Six hundred tonnes, due to engineering compatibility, seems more suitable.
