The state's educated inhabitants and their wealth were one of the first obstacles of the long Hesperian wars. Remains of the original Permesian industry are still the most important part of the Hesperian empire. In Permesian province there is a society called Hammercraft . Its members keep and protect the ancient knowledge of this area. With this knowledge Hammercraft engineers can design huge airships that Hammercraft pilots use in air fights.
Hammercraft ships are huge structures made of iron and wood.
The balloon part sonsists of one or more voluminous light gas tanks. Under the tanks there is a cockpit. The propeller, the wings and the rudder are mounted to the cockpit. The armour plates of the ship are so thick and heavy that you could wonder how this piles of iron can fly at all. Well, they can, but their flight is slow and clumsy.
