Rhone Class Dreadnought

An airship class designed by Tubel and manufactured at the Imperial Forge Works. It was to be the mainstay of Mihli Lilty's reformed fleets and featured a surprisingly few amount of armaments in favor of speed. The ship was the first to incorporate a hybrid-lost technology system that allowed it to use Beam Cannons. The Rhone class survived production for six-months, with over seven-hundred units produced, before it was replaced with the superior Finister Class Dreadnought.
:
The Rhone Class is very popular among pirates because of it's cheap production, which initially caused disarray within the military because of the leaked technology. However, after Imperial Year 10000, the entire Estellion Royal Navy's fleet of Rhones were replaced with the Finister Class Dreadnought, leaving only pirates, smugglers, and private owners with the old Rhones.
