A war brig is a type of ship that is often used for pillaging, blockading and non-sinking flotillas. While restricted by its medium cannons, a war brig does not require as large a crew to effectively sail like its big sister, the war frigate.

Brigs were seen as fast and maneuverable and were used as both naval war ships and merchant ships in real life. While their use stretches back before the 1600s the most famous period of the brig was during the 1800s when they were involved in famous naval battles.
