Skonour

Description
Creation

The Skonour is one of the first prototype airships built by Aaron Steele, founder of the Æreons.

Alignment

The Skonour is a grey-flag medium frigate that has mixed combat tactics. It often does not engage combat unless it is told to open fire by its captain, or when they have a mission to fulfil.

Arsenal

The ship has a experimental cannon on it, which is able to shoot semi-automatic as well as multiple rounds. These rounds vary from basic blastshells to the later put on addon compressed air rounds. The latter is often referred as the "experimental ice air rounds" as the cannon has a compartiment that compresses the air quickly before blasting it off. These bullets are a bit more random, varying from mid-air flak explosions to stable rounds that scatter and shred much like a shotgun.

Besides the experimental cannon, the ship also has a mortar on the side, allowing the ship to actively support wars as heavy artillery when combined with the cannon.

Tools and design

The Skonour has a heavy engine, allowing it to reach speeds up to 120 km/h due to its aerodynamic build and wing support, as well as hoverblades built into the bottom. The ship can reach altitudes up to 5 km high due to the balloons built into the bottom.

Energy

The ship's main energy source is steam and wind, recycling the wind power the ship has to use, gaining more energy during storms and turbulence than during regular flights, lengthening the ability of being in the air.

Flytime

On an average filled battery, the ship can stay afloat for a week. With storms and turbulence, the ship is able to fly over a month. But the captain often takes the ship down at least once a week in order for a regular checkup and prefers to move during the day as the vision is clear. If they are on a mission, their travel times can be a tad random, but this should not be problematic to other ships, as the Skonour is not a hostile ship, but one of the most neutral to other airships.

Crew
With a total crew of around 25 recruits, the most important crew of the Skonour consists of:


 * Aaron Steele, the Captain of the ship
 * Apple Crunch, master coxswain as well as engineer of the ship.
 * Yrog Vultog, the secondary coxswain, yet spends his time guarding prisoners and training the crew
 * Bouncer, interrogation expert
 * Short Fuse, arsenal expert as well as gunner.
 * Star Observer, location handler and astronomer
 * Stall: the lonely, the ship's cook
 * Carol and Hyper: ship guests.

Trivia

 * The Skonour has more weaponry on the left side than the right side.
