The flagship galleon helmed by Prince Killion Greyjoy. A monstrous ship stolen from the Redwyne Fleet, it has 800 oars and a crew of 300. Scorpions line either railing, as well as a catapult in its center. A brazier is lit nearby for use in signalling other ships in the Iron Fleet. The ram is carved of ironwood into a the visage of the Grey King, mouth open as if uttering a battlecry, a sword in one hand and torch in the other, with half his visage designed to look melted like wax much like the mishapen towers of Harrenhal.

After over a month of waiting for the captains to assemble and fleet to finish construction, Killion could take the boredom no longer. Greenland sailors spoke of cabin fever from being on a ship for too long at a time. Killion suffered from the opposite, dryland fever, from being at port too long. Longing for the sea air on his face and blood on his blade, he set out on a short sail southeast, near the Banefort and Crag for any prizes worth taking. Two nimble corsairs accompanied the massive flagship as escort. Suffering from the same malady, Dagur Volmark had also accompanied the Prince, in his corsair Leviathan's Bite.

Menion Saltcliffe accompanies in his outfitted galley, the Silence of the Lambs. As news of the Iron Fleet's assembly is hardly secret, it is going to be difficult tracking. Most ships are stopping at Lannisport, and going no further.

With the discovery of Western prey unlikely, Killion turned northeast, for Ironman's Bay. It was known that Seagard kept a small fleet of two galleys and at least four corsairs to patrol the bay and warn the mainland of invasion. He only needed a taste of blood, a ship or two.

Killion signals the corsairs forward, to cut off the scout ships so they turned, offering their vulnerable sides up to a crippling blow from the rams of the two larger ships. He ordered the men manning the scorpions and catapult to aim for the masts of their foe, to cripple the ships for boarding.
(Naval Command 85) (Naval Ambush 75)
Sow Only Fear: The terror of battling Prince Killion's notorious fleet imposes a -5 penalty to all command-related rolls enemy commanders are entitled to for a fight.

Round 1:
Ambush: 140, double losses, Killion can kick ass
Prince Killion's men ram the lead vessel. He jumps on board the vessel and challenges the commander of the smaller ship to a sushi fileting contest.

Round 1:
Killion: 156 Poor bastard: 99 (-35)
Killion cuts his way to the captain, who soils himself seeing the notorious prince. He fights hard, but outmatched isn't the proper word for what he is.
