"There at Pelargir lay the main fleet of Umbar, fifty great ships and smaller vessels beyond count. Many of those that we pursued had reached the havens before us..."
–Gimli, The Return of the King

Setup: Add The Corsair Fleet (Corsair side faceup) and Great Corsair Ship to the staging area. Each player searches the encounter deck for a Ship location and adds it to the staging area. Shuffle the encounter deck.

"But the Haradrim, being now driven to the brink, turned at bay, and they were fierce in despair; and they laughed when the looked on us, for they were a great army still." –Gimli, The Return of the King

Each Ship location in the staging area is immune to player card effects.
