The SN Ken-Arai (No.8) is a stone battleship built by God and operated by the Sahren Navy. It is one of the islands north of Slovale and houses a naval fortress.
Construction and Commission
God made the island several million years ago when shaping Kerbin. It is strategically positioned to police traffic flowing in or out of Slovale and fortress construction began not long after the conquest of Slovale by the Chevspendi.
Operational history
Pozhar Revolts
the commies tried to invade it but got blasted to smithereens by smoothbore cannons
Sahren Civil War
it got starved out
Vagani campaign
Republican leadership was interested in the idea of firing siege artillery from the island to united front positions far inland. The project was abandoned shortly after it was proposed, as accuracy could not be garunteed and other forms of artillery already proved worthwhile.
Popular culture
The locals of Slovale often joke about Ken-Arai being the largest ship in existance, as in 2189 comedian and actress Saoirse Thazard calculated the mass of the vessel to equal around 42,240,000 tonnes, claiming "Sahr has the largest navy in the world]].
A popular song called "Sahren ship Wide Island" is the unnoficial anthem of the vessel.
