Polacre-xebec
Burgundian design based on the Audonian xebec. 467 Polacre-xebecs were eventually built for the Burgundian West Punth Trading Company, most of them were used in the conquest of Alshar, the Punthite Quasi-Wars, the Kandoori-Fana wars, the Great Rebellion of Slavery Bay, and to a lesser extend the Northern Levantine Mediatization War.

18th century
As with the latter quarter of the 17thcentury the line-of-battle remained the dominant tactic in naval engagements of the 18th century. Ever increasing ships of the line were built to increase the numbers of guns in the broadside. The typical practice was to measure a ship in the number of gun decks, but some principalities measured their ships by the total number of guns. Most ocean going princes and dukes used two-deckers, with some afford one or two three-decker flag ships.

Two-decker
A common design usually broken down into various configurations using the neolog "rates". Two-deckers ranged all the way from the small 40-gun Fifth rate up to 80- or even 90-gun ships of the line, with the third-rate of seventy-four guns, or "seventy-four", being the archetype.
1725-1824
Three-decker
An expensive and imposing design usually broken down into various configurations using the neolog "rates". Three-deckers were generally classed as first or second rates. The usage of three deckers ended in 1824 when the last one in service to Burgundie was sunk off the coast of Wintergen in a battle with Kiravian forces.
Late modern history
19th century
Prior to the unification of the southern coastal principalities of the Kingdom of Dericania under the banner of Burgundie in 1875 the navies varied greatly and money was spent mostly on mercantile ventures that could be pressed into service if needed. This lead to large, lightly armed ships being common in the various naval engagements of the early 19th century. Jeune École and the development of the clipper coalesced in the mid 19th century in Burgundie as the country fought in both the Southern Levantine Mediatization Wars and the Kiro-Burgundian Wars. Kicked off when Burgundie invaded Wintergen in 1823 and annexed the island a nautical arms race lept into action. Kiravia focused on building ironclads while Burgundie built faster and sleeker warships with barbettes firing explosive shells. This style of warfare dominated the design of late century warships.
