Airships of the Home Fleet

Airships of the Home Fleet

Civilian Ships

Tendith class cityship: Named for the most populated Dornari city on their home plane, the Tendith class is able to comfortably hold close to half a million civilians, and as such make up a large portion of the non-combat areas of the fleet. Living conditions are fairly cramped, and rationing is constant reminder that all resources will be finite until the DEC finds a plane to gather resources from. Small farms dedicated to the production of quick growing foodstuffs are common, and are able to grow thanks to bound elementals providing enough light and heat to keep the plants growing. As large as they are, they are still defended by a network of anti-aircraft guns, as well as a sizable detachment of Home Guardsmen. Even with the defenses available to them, they are by far the most vulnerable craft in the Home Fleet.

Avax class mobile foundry: A massive industrial ship, the Avax class is an all-in-one resource collection, processing and distribution center, contained in thick armored plating and powered by the most powerful Elemental-engines possible. The ship provides housing for the workers that toil within; with pressurized suits provided for mining in deep oceans, or the empty void of the plane they are on, connected by a hose to provide oxygen. For more dangerous environments, hydraulic suits powered by bound elementals are used, granting improved strength and durability to the worker within. Inside the ship, processing areas dedicated to smelting raw ores, harvesting rock and soil and even seeds from plant biomatter are housed and manned by dedicated workers who seek to better the lives of those outside the hull of their vessel. On the bottom of the ship, cargo/hanger bays allow for the docking of smaller craft to take the materials gathered to other ships in the Home Fleet. Like other non-combat ships, the Avax is protected by a network of light guns to deter or eliminate threats.

Yinth class factory ship: Unlike the Avax class, which harvests and refines materials, the Yinth class takes in those materials and turns them into all sorts of goods. Using the latest in assembly line techniques, the workers on board produce goods ranging from cutlery to aircraft frames, and all things in between. Usually one ship will be dedicated to one specific thing to produce, though those that are assigned to create more basic items can usually handle around 3-4 different things. Both the Avax and Yinth class airships produce large amounts of pollution and exhaust, and are usually positioned above their other less industrial orientated neighbors.

Dorn Class Governmental Airship:

Even with the dissolution of the Republic proper, the voices of the people of Dorn are heard from the halls of the Governmental airships. Representatives are selected from each Tendith and are flown to the Dorn classes where matters of state are discussed. Heavily armored and armed with the most countermeasures on any Civilian airship, the Dorn class is a dedicated bastion to the protection of the Dornari government. These ships usually make their place in the center of the fleet, allowing equal access to all cityships.

Military Airships

Aren Class Frigate: A streamlined frigate designed for light engagements, the Aren class is a slim, moderately armed ship. Like all Military ships, weapons are relatively modular, with the Aren having space for 4 light emplacements and 3 medium emplacements. Containing a crew compliment of 40 crewmen and half that in marines, the Aren is a fairly lightly crewed vessel for the Dorn, and thus has lead to many being produced in joint Yinth shipyards.

Feren Class Carrier: Possessing a large central hanger, the Feren class houses most strike aircraft for the Dorn. Whether it be Interceptors, fighter-bombers or whatever else. Possessing mostly anti-fighter weapons in 6 light emplacements, the Feren is by no means a frontline brawler. Housing a crew of 90 crewmen, 40 pilots and 50 marines, the Feren has quite the compliment of bodies, and numerous escape ships are dotted among the hull in case the ship goes down.
