A sloop is the smallest type of ship available.
The sloop is the mainstay of pillaging pirates everywhere. New officers benefit from the sloop's small, easier-to-manage crew and maneuverability, while old salts can use the small crew requirement to finely tune the ship's might rating.
The ship now known as the sloop was at one point called a small sloop, while a cutter was called a large sloop. Eventually the cutter was given a more distinctive name and the "small" prefix was dropped from the name of its little sister.
