Airship Types

There are many types of airship found in Cor Nova, each specifically tailored to the culture, climate, and need of the many different peoples within the Dominion. A few specific types are noted below.

Civilian Vessels

 * Clipper - a small, sleek ship that can travel at a high rate of speed; not suitable for cargo. Popular as a personal craft for rich Cor Novans, or for use in smuggling. The finest of these are constructed in Terra Alta.
 * Courser - mid-size ship that favors speed over cargo; often used for more time-sensitive trade-routes and high-value goods
 * Freighter - mid-size ship for cargo use; they typically have 2-3 envelopes; Philomena and Grace of the Cedars are examples of freighters
 * Caravel - mid-size ship popular in Stella Maris; highly maneuverable and adaptable to high-wind environments
 * Skiff - small ship used over short distances, most commonly in ports
 * Cruiser - typically very large pleasure ship; these are often utilized as transport liners for the upper class to move around the Dominion

Military Vessels

 * Interceptor - A specialized skiff; they are fast, maneuverable, and difficult to hit because of their size. They are often used as scouting vessels.
 * Dreadnought - A three-enveloped attack vessel; the workhorse of the Imperium (formerly Sovereign) Fleet
 * Battleship - A four-enveloped attack vessel; they can usually be found leading a battlegroup of dreadnoughts and are often commanded by an Admiral
 * Ship-of-the-Line - A five-enveloped attack vessel; a fortress in the sky. These massive vessels are designed to withstand any attack, while dealing intense punishment to all comers
