In the new Imperial Capital of Norvington



The streets of Norvington were filled with exitment. The Imperial Engineers had finnally finished developing their new invention. They were going to unveil it at the opening of the New Castle. It was said that this operation was going on all over the Empire, and that each of the povinces would have their own special Version to show. Of course, only the rich, the Media, and the government big-wigs would be a the real unveiling, but the rest of the World could see it on their televisions.

In the entrance to the New Castle Entrance Hall

Once all the guest had arrived, a man in an imperial Guads Dress Uniform Appeared. "This way," he said to the crowd. They were lead into a large room, which really didnt look like much at all. In fact, its floors were metal and the chairs were very rough and rigid. But the guests werent paying attention to that, all eyes were on the little man on the podium with a VERY large curtain behind him. Once the crowd was seated, the man spoke. "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed government officials, members of the media, and the great Emperor of the realm himself, welcome to the unveiling of the future!" There was a round of applause and then the man spoke again. " For too long, our people have flown in the skies in Planes, too fast with from which to see anythign for long, too cramped to be comfortable, too weak to do damage unless in great groups, and too high in the sky to get a fealing of flying. The future of aviation, is here, my fellow Lightning Starians. May i present to you, a new Age. The Age of Airships!" and he pulled away the veil.

Outside of the castle, the entire city was full of exitment. When the citizens looked into the skies, they saw a most magnificent sight. It seemed as if the Imperial navy had suddenly sprouted wings and had decided to fly! Ships of all shapes and sizes approached the castle. They came from all corners of the Empire. Some came from the valleys of Thunderbrook, others sported the Crecent Moon and star of the New Territory of Pakistan. As the people outside watched these ships, the people inside the castle saw what was possibly and even more amazing sight. An Airship up close!


At first the crowds didnt know what they were looking at. It seemed just like an ordinary ship. Then, it turned on. The ship started lifting up from the ground, and the Crowd stared in amazement. "A flying ship?" They thought to themselves. "THis, my friends, is an airship. If you just follow me, we are going to go on a tour of the City like o tour ever has before!" said the little man.

After the flight, the crowed walked off the ship simply astonished. Most of them had flown in an airplane before, but they had never been on something like that before. It flew smoothly, it was large and spacious, it seemed just like they were on a cruise ship, just it was flying, and instead of nothing but sea to look at there was a giant metropolis. After they had all departed, the little man made an anouncement. "I see that you all enjoyed your flight?" He half said and half asked. The crowed just nodded, too amazed too speak. "Excelent. There are 40 Such ships, except armed with military Weapons, that will be going to all branches of the military." The Generals and Admirals looked like they would explode with glee. "I would also like to announce that 10 such ships will be going to the New Imperial Air Cruise Line. These will go on trips that, while not as fast as flying, will be at least 3x faster than taking a cruise." The rich people were all calling their stock brokers to invest in the Imperial Air Cruise Line, while other were trying to book a cabin on one of the flights. "And finally, to the international Community, and to those multi billionairecompanies, we will be taking orders for custom built Air Ships, with prices going with as small as $500 million for the small 10 person ones (add 1 million dollars extra for the ones armed with weapons.) to 5 Billion for the 1000 passenger cruise ships. (add $500,000 for armaments.) Of course, these are without all the additions you might wish to add to your custom ones. The standard (and therefor cheaper) editions will be unveiled shortly. Have a good day and i hope to see you fly on our airships soon!"


OOC: The More standard versions will costs less, and my allies get discounts (or just nations im firendly with). These are final Fantasy Airships. Not german Zeplins :)

They use our Special Irionril Metal Plating, a combination of Mithril and Iron. It would be expensive excpt for the fact that our middle island, Thunderbrook, is abundant in these materials.

The Versions we have now both run on Bahamut Class engines, powered by natural gas or, at high altitudes, wind generators inside of the ships.

OOC: I shulda put these on with the ships :eek:. Oh well:)

I like Mithril :P. Any ideas if the old forums are archived somewhere? Cus i made a fantasy ship storefront for my Enclave branded Vertabirds and i have lost it :(. Took a long time to write.

OOC: Im afraid everything Pre-Jolt crawled up and died.

Re: Skyship design

The Sakura class will be retired in roughly ten years. You will have to modify the weapons loadout and the engine systems because some of them requiere highly specialized Weyrean technology. All in all, the Sakura will be outclassed when we introduce the Akira, Destiny, and Melchior designs.

The only thing we ask is that you do not sell these designs or the Sakura skyships that you create for twenty years.

Axis Nova would suggest removing the "none can oppose" from the last package. A single one of our Lucifer Class air dreadnoughts could crush every one of these lesser airships put together...

Well then, if that's what you think, we may be forced to field Terracostes in the swarms. Which WOULD take any of your airships down in a blink of the eye.

You can't sell the original designs that we give you, and you can't sell models based on those designs. If you fiddle with the designs, you can sell whatever you produce.

Basically, just don't sell direct copies of the Sakuras and don't sell the original designs.

That thing is not, by any possible stretching of the definition, modern tech. Diamond armor? Tesla guns? Rapid-fire railguns? 'Prism' cannons?

BTW, please explain exactly how the propulsion system works. You can't really use jet engines to make something hover....

Hmm... Sounds nice, but I'd prefer not to spend a lot of money.

Can I buy the Starter Package for the friend's price? I'll give you free Ipecac poison and antidotes!

1000 doses of both for friend price?

... Why I have Ipecac poison?

... Just for fun?

Well. Diamond is simply a matter of carving. Second of all, one or two of the weapons ARE future tech. The tesla weapons and the Particle Wave Cannon. The lasers are QUITE real, my friend. The prism cannons are said lasers concentrated through a crystal prism. See?

I'm afraid not. How would such a concentration process work?

And btw, carving enough diamond to cover an entire ship... You do know that diamond, while hard, is also fragile, correct? It, like most other crystals, tends to shatter.

Now that I know this thing flies, I revise my estimate-- my Lucifer Class could DEFINITELY take one. Especially since they only cost 10 billion (about twice that of a real life aircraft carrier) while yours costs 500 billion. 'S not cost effective.

By the way... Can you develop Blackjacks, Falcons and all the other FF airships? Because there's a LOT more.

Heh. I SELL them for 500 billion. They aren't worth a fraction of the price. It's called marketing. You send the laser into the crystal and you bounce it through the crystal, the outside is silvered like a mirror except on the tip. The crystal replaces a mirror set.
If would prefer, it will be sent through a series of lenses to make you feel more important, ok? Also, I said the JETS make it fly. You forget about the electromagnets, and also the fact that, in a way, harriers both hover and fly. So no. You STILL couldn't take me. And your ships are underpriced.

Um, when am i going to get them? Its been 5 hours :)

A courier arrives into the local version of an airport, bearing with him a suitcase made of diamond and lead, with a dozen individual locks. The interior of the suitcase contains the design schematic hard copies and a crystal bearing the same design schematics. If the bearer of the suitcase were to wish it, he could have the interior dissolve via a complex chemical reaction. The suitcase is handcuffed to the bearer's arm, via a lock that is fused together so that no pick or key will ever open it again. He has been informed of whom to meet, and whom to give the suitcase to.

Whatever. My Lucifer Class costs about twice what a r/l aircraft carrier costs, so it's price is reasonable. Your ship is ignore'd =P

Axis Nova

Ignored because if costs too much? Wow. Amazing.

No, for other reasons than just that. The tech you have on it is not modern.

Period.

On top of that, there's the issue of fuel consumption...

In a shady Back Alley in Norvington, Capital of The Lightning Star

The Weyrian Man was standing right ouside of the most deserted place in town, train station. No one used trains anymore, the Airship made traveling SO much more convenient. Around 1:30 in the morning, local time, a man wearing a black cloak stepped out of the shadows. "Do you have the package?" he asked quietly. The Weyrian man nodded. "Excelent. Ill take it." he said calmy. "And heres a gift for your leader. The government will be most pleased." he said as he tossed the man a 100,000,000 Norvington Check, worth about 3 billion dollars.

The courier nodded. His hand flashed briefly, catching the money and placing in into an inside pocket of his greatcoat. In another motion, the courier's hand grasped the handcuffs and melted them in a flash of azure light. A third motion disabled the dissolution reaction.

"Make sure it gets to whomever's supposed to open it," the courier said softly.
