The RRS Regent is a six-masted ironclad ocean liner of the Fulton-Wallraf Line in the Raggisarian Republic. Originally laid down in Johanns Lettow’s shipyards, Leonstal, District of Wolfshagen. The vessel was originally titled “HMS Dragestein III”, as it had been commissioned by the then emperor Sigismund II von Dragestein to be a luxury yacht. The cost and scale of the vessel was and remains exceptional for its time, measuring in at 155 meters in length, and having an entirely iron-clad hull. The subsequent challenges that came with the design of such a vessel led to the construction being delayed several times over, with it seeming permanently cancelled as royal funds ran ever lower amidst the Grand War. | [[File:Imageregent.png|thumb|328x328px|Aerial photograph of the Regent off the coast of Kythira, out from a hot-air balloon.]] | ||
