Cacafuego was a little more speculative, since her only claim to fame in the books was “got captured by the Sophie”. She’s based off the historical xebec-frigate El Gamo (which lost a similar battle against the HMS Speedy), and the closest approximation to that I could think of was a galley. Her guns might be better, though how her historical counterpart was taken was that Speedy pulled in so close and was so small Gamo’s cannoneers couldn’t depress their cannons low enough to do more than shoot up her sails.

Acheron was essentially Constitution under a French flag, so I used PotRV’s Constitution as a base as Acheron displayed similar durability against cannon fire at long range. I debated between that ability and the Ignore First Hit ability, but decided to go this route for a more tough, dangerous ship.
