The Slantnose is the first available vehicle for World Map exploration. It is acquired early on in disk 2.
The Slantnose was originally intended to be General Kakanas' command ship, but is hijacked by [[Kaim_Argonar|Kaim}} and crew as they make their escape from Numara.
The engine of the Slantnose was salvaged from a giant fish that had swallowed it. At one point it was the engine of Seth's pirating ship.
