Airship

From The Heretic Knowledge Vault

A non-magical means of getting around. Ellis mentions it (with his usual delicacy and tact) as an alternative to Warp gate travel, but Meji points out some of the drawbacks. Some time ago an airship was hijacked and crashed into the Tower of Artifex (whatever that is), causing security in Tsuirakushiti to be tightened to a point that she finds unacceptable, or at least irritating.

Airships are also mentioned here, in which it is implied that they only serve the larger cities. This is an interesting reversal of the real world, where the high-tech things that go WHSHHH and get you from place to place quickly (i.e., airplanes) serve the larger cities, while small towns in the boonies are reached by more mundane mechanical contrivances like buses.

A distant view of an airship appears here.
