{OOC: Because nations export more than just military hardware. I'm just sort of pulling prices out of my head; it's hard to find the going market price for a dirigble or an autogyro, after all.}

IsidonGyro, the Isidon Valley's premier airship manufacturer, has recently been given approval by the Office of Inquisition and the Counsel of Regent-Priests, to offer a number of its fine vehicles for international sale. Attached are descriptions of the four most popular civilian craft; other craft, including peace-modified military craft, may be availiable via special order (pending approval of the Inquisitor General and/or the Minister of War, telegram for more information)

Personal aircraft:

RM-7C "Robin" Gyrocopter: This is a specially modified version of the RM-7 ScoutGyro, which saw heavy use during the rioting and street combat of the Great Upheaval some years ago. The ScoutGyro is a highly versatile craft, able to manuver easily around, under, and over obsticles in its flight path. The civilian version features a fully enclosed cockpit (rather than the partially enclosed military version), full leather interior, spotlight, and optional front mounted 32mm camera.

Baseline price is $50,000

IG-9R "Sparrow" Gyroracer: With its graceful lines and lightweight design, the Sparrow is among the finest in prop-powered racing aeroplanes. Its four bladed prop and "pusher" engine provide a top airspeed of 230mph, and the optional custom-fitted pilots chair ensures a comfortable ride at any speed. The true racing enthusiast should be sure to inquire about the optional nitrous injection system, which allows the Gyroracer to nearly double its speed in short bursts*.

Baseline price is $100,000

(*IsidonGyro is not responsible for accidents or explosions resuling from abuse of the nitrous injection system)


Passenger Craft: For those who prefer to leave the flying to others, IsidonGyro offers a number of passenger craft options.

HI-56C "Chariot" Heavy Gyrocopter: One of the finest in small passenger helicopters, the Chariot is modified from the Isidonian Aerial Navy's standard gunship. The Chariot's passenger compartment can comfortably seat a party of six to eight, depending on options, and is the smallest aircraft offered by IsidonGyro for civilian use, with the range for trans-oceanic flight. Options include a variety of couches and chairs for passengers, in your choice of materials (leather, velvet, and satin are the most popular), as well as your choice of craps, roulette, or card tables*, as well as optional wet bar.

The Chariot requires a crew of two to operate.

Baseline price is $250,000

(* Gaming tables are modular, and can be changed out in a matter of mintues by ground crews)

ZG-2 "Monarch" Passenger Liner: Once soley availiable to the Isidonian nobility, the Monarch trans-oceanic passenger zeppelin can now be yours! Held aloft by its large, hydrogen gas bags* and moved by massive prop engines, the Monarch is sure to make a powerful statement whenever it is employed. The gondola features a comfortable compartment and quarters for four crew members, as well as numerous passenger compartments. Sleeping compartments and dining space for twenty passengers come standard with every Monarch zeppelin, and additional space is availiable for a number of optional compartments. The most popular option packages include the casino or other game room, gentleman's club, and motion picture theater.

Baseline price is $900,000, though your chosen compartment option will add an additional $400,000 to the cost, on average. Compartment options are not modular.
