Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Calchas (Pirates)
Card: DJ #042 (Rare)
Points: 9
Masts: 1
Cargo: 2
Moves: S+S
Guns : 2S
Hit %: 67 (S), 0 (L)
Ability: This ship cannot be shot at by ships within S of her.

The Calchas has fair speed, poor cargo, one good cannon, and an ability that can make her almost unhittable. She could make a good gold ship, although the Pirates have many better gold ships for fewer points. It's her ability that makes her cost more than ships like the Venture, with similar stats but only 4 points. That ability can save her life, or even make her unhittable against ships with all S cannons. But a one-masted ship can't survive a ram, so unless you're playing against the Corsairs, don't expect this little Pirate ship to survive much opposition.

The Calchas (named for a seer in Greek mythology) is a decent little ship. In any other faction, she'd be a blessing. But the Pirates have so many small gold ships for very low prices, many of which have two masts for survivability, that I wouldn't recommend using her very often.

Goldship rating: 3.0 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 2.8 / 5
Boarding rating: 2.1 / 5
Value for points: 3.5 / 5
