An Airship is a lighter-than-air Aerospace Vessel.
- It is a kind of flying Vehicle.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
There are two forms of Airship:
- Dirigibles (with a rigid skeleton) and
- Balloons or Aerostats (which don't have this).
Some worlds may be able to build Balloon-like vessels under TL–3 because they use native or imported floating creatures as Dray Beasts (see Primitive Craft).
Typically, Airships will use Hydrogen or Helium as the lift-producing gasses.
Examples of Airships[edit]
4 Airship items[edit]
| Item | Type | Mode | TL | Mass | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cuttermate Dirigible | Cargo Vehicle | Flight (Dirigible) | 9 | 128 tons | Cr238,400 |
| Fringian Advanced Dirigible | Commercial Vehicle | Flight (Dirigible) | 7 | 2700 Tons | Cr3,700,000 |
| Fringian Balloon | Passenger Vehicle | Flight (Balloon) | 3 | 220 Tons | Cr65,000 |
| Fringian Large Dirigible | Commercial Vehicle | Flight (Dirigible) | 5 | 7500 Tons | Cr5,125,000 |
