Description: The Tembler is the light fighter of the Papogod. While it is decidedly less impressive than the Ecantona and the Ashearer, the design legacy of those heavier ships is clear with the Tembler, which is probably the most impressive pirate light fighter in history.

Origin's Official Guide to Privateer 2: The Darkeing

Temblers regenerate shields particularly fast. They wheel about, stop and then start quickly, making it hard to train your guns on them for very long. And as soon as you stop hitting them, they move away and regenerate their shields.
