A little aircraft goes a long way…

There’s a great deal to be said for a small powerful airship like this but don’t abandon ship before you mean to innit…

“An example of a craft from Vitention, it can be seen in the Kirkhard Imperial War Museum…”
“Whazzat? No my boy its not a plague bearer, thats just its Unit Markings”

Here is whats known as a Flying Bedstead. These are essentially flying squatters cottages, one up one down with al fresco toiletry facilities and a patio on top, good holiday let for the piracy minded, or retired adventurer…

There’s precious little thats actually evil but the Administratum frowns on all types of wing that “Belongeth not to fowl or flying creature.” This drawing has lives attached to its freedom…

Another piece of intelligence gleaned at great risk from the heretical elements of the Flyers Guild, these early examples of winged thought, as simple and primitive as they are, are still a real threat to wide-bodied craft and the Greater Authority.

Craft like this were found on the Toumon/Toshcant boarder, still packed in crates after a weapons delivery of epic proportions was intercepted by troops from The Authority, this example was described for posterity and then destroyed.

So heretical that knowledge of this is death to an average citizen of Etimret,, this craft brings death to your enemies to a thing that only lasts hours or mere minutes of travel. Out pacing every balloon in the known World. That there is a manufacturer of craft willing, enthusiastically to build this godlessness is still a stain on the control of the Administratum…

They call them Bombers, they come to burn and level great cities like explosive wasps they kill at random. I hope their Heresy keeps them warm in their fitful beds
Here we see the end of a battle between those of the heresy and a mighty Administratum Zeppelin, the later being more than a match for a small patrol of fighter craft, here we see one on the ground and another limping off to avoid further mauling by the Greater Craft..

Craft of this generation are showing up in conflicts all over the southern reaches of Etimret, and while still relatively simple they pose a clear and present risk to the Greater Administratum and air superiority over the War Pond if the supply cannot be stemmed.
“How did that slide get in there? Yes its a good godly craft, no I’m not to be seen bonking the Barmaid from The Itchy Crotch on the quayside….”
Firework Technology while not actively heresy has through out Etimret been neglected as a line of exploration. Mainly because strapping-on to a ton of explosive and hoping for the best is a fool-hardy approach. And as spectacular as rocketry is from the ground, there is only a very small window between when the propellant burns out and when the warhead detonates, for the traumatized pilot to climb out and parachute away. And as such volunteers for this branch of flight training are rare. And unusual….
