"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"

The Zealot Torpedo Boat is one of the simplest, least hectic, yet most dangerous and risky ways of dealing with enemy vessels. It is cheap, easy to mass-produce, and very deadly. What is their secret, you may ask?

The answer is simple: There are very few problems in the world that cannot be solved by the liberal application of high explosives.

The Zealot Torpedo Boat takes this philosophy up to eleven Possibly the simplest unit in production anywhere in the world, the Zealot is simply a speedboat with a long stick on the front. Onto the end of this is strapped a large keg of gunpowder, RDX, and whatever other high explosives the Order crew can get their hands on. The crew, selected from the Fanatics for their unshakable faith and willingness to do nearly anything, are expected to close the distance with enemy vessels quickly and ram them, then detonate their deadly payload directly into the sides of the enemy ship. The results speak for themselves.

KABLAM!!

The enemy ship is almost always crippled or even outright destroyed in the ensuing blast. In the confusion that follows, the Zealot will slip away from the stricken vessel to reload its torpedo spar, a time-consuming process that leaves the Zealot quite vulnerable if the enemy swallows their pride and goes a'hunting for the cowards that would dare do such a thing. Zealot crews are quite fatalistic as a result, and veteran crews often take their jobs quite seriously. Those crews who have survived for any significant period of time are known to become much more efficient when it comes to reloading their torpedo spars.
