The Exhibition
Boss of The Crown Peak · Act IV
High above the Academy terraces, before an audience of the Peak's wealthiest noble houses, the Admiralty Exhibition begins. You face the champion frigate of House Highwell under tournament rules: no lethal force; win by disabling three enemy ship systems simultaneously or capturing their flag within three minutes, or the marshals will score the bout on total damage dealt.
How to beat The Exhibition · ●○○
A 3-minute bout with no killing: wreck three of her systems at once (her Helm, Keel and Infirmary break quickest), hold her Flag Pedestal (Still Room icon) with boarders for 10 s, or lead on damage at the bell. Each crew kill halves the purse. Bolts pass her 3 wards.Victory: Royal Commission#
The noble spectators on the Academy terraces rise to applaud. A senior Admiral in gilded dress uniform steps aboard and pins an officer's commission to your coat. "The Crown needs captains of your caliber," he declares—conveniently ignoring that his own Admiralty kept you on the Lowborn rolls as a criminal until today.

Judges' Decision#
The final bell rings with both ships still aloft. After a brief huddle, the marshals award the match to House Highwell on points. An official hands back your entry papers unsigned. "Well flown, Captain. You win no prize purse or commission today, but the air lane ahead is open to you."

If you meet again#
The Admiralty holds its trial every season. House Highwell has refitted the Kestrel, and its new champion has studied how the last one lost.
