CTT Txatka (meaning magpie in Khadenz) is a 38-gun frigate of the Cadenzan Navy. It is the oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat in the Trellinese Empire, though after taking extensive damage in the Bernadottic Wars much of the hull was rebuilt to a slightly larger configuration.
Design and construction
Txatka was the first ship of the Cadenzan navy's Txatka-class of frigates, ordered with the express purpose to "dismay any foe they might encounter, and evade those who might o'ermatch them", as Cadenza was increasingly outnumbered by other naval powers in the region. The ships were designed by Maranz ti'Galet, a prominent shipbuilder from Canve, who built them with wood imported from Nikolia. The class was designed with a long and narrow hull, intended to allow the mounting of heavier guns than frigates of other navies.
Txatka's keel was laid down at a dockyard in Canve on 3 January 1784 and she was launched two years later, on 15 March 1786.
