Cannonmaster
The crew role aboard a spore-sea vessel responsible for aiming and firing the ship's cannon. Ships on Tress's world tend to mount only one or two cannons on swivelling platforms, so a single trained gunner usually does the work. STD:Tress:Ch 10
Known facts
- cannons-use-zephyr-sporesCannons on Tress's world are fired not with gunpowder but with zephyr spores from the Sapphire Sea — a wetted spore expels enough compressed air to drive a ceramic ball out of the barrel. The ship's cannonmaster keeps a barrel of live zephyr spores below, lined to keep silver from killing them, and packs them into pouches for use in a fight.STD:Tress:Ch 15
