Background
The Three Ghosts are nicknames given to three identical frigates commissioned by James Maddox as fighting ships to be dispersed throughout the Caribbean. Each ship is based on a ship previously under Maddox's command. The Adversary II is in honor of the Conquistador-class frigate sunk by the most notorious pirate of the Burning Sea. The original Element was a Locust-class corvette captured by Spaniards, its whereabouts unknown. The new Rattlesnake II is built in honor of the snow commanded by one of Maddox's most promising junior lieutenants, which was lost with all hands somewhere near Somerset.

"These frigates, in due course, will be a terror of the high seas. They only exist to destroy their enemies, and when they have fulfilled their destinies they will disappear, once again, into a history left stained in blood." - James Maddox
