Swiftest Thought

The MCS Swiftest Thought is an experimental airship purchased by Prince Avimeus from the Royal Malvont Shipyards in late 1443 and used by The Company. Its extreme speed and maneuverability were once far ahead of their time (The Black Hand has since caugt up). With the base cost of 8.1 million Malvont dollars and the current specs taken into consideration, the total value of the Swiftest Thought is approximately 15.8 million Malvonts. Indeed, it is a ship worthy of Prince Avimeus V.
==Design and Features==
The Swiftest Thought is one of the only X-150 type airships flying, the last design made by illithids shortly before their departure from the Prime Material Plane. It is powered by a captive air elemental rotating swiftly around a magnet. It has made the journey from Malvont to the Southern Continent, usually a two month ordeal, in about five days.
For combat, it is equipped with a ram which can be enchanted as a magical weapon. Use of the ram will damage the ship, however. The Thought also carries two 5 pounder cannons for self defense, as well as a 12 lb centerline gun.
The Thought is equipped with a conscious autopilot, "Sugar". It is additionally controlled by four buttons: Start, Cruise, Turbo, Attack.
The Thought's main disadvantage is the massive damage it will cause if destroyed due to the sudden freedom of the air elemental. Also its obscene base price, but that doesn't matter if you're Avi. Berthing the entire Company crew aboard the Thought alone is uncomfortable, though possible.

==In Eon==
After being sent back in time by Talnec Franco, the party realized they were without air transportation because their past selves had the Epitome and the Jade Kracken III. Avi decided he wanted a "battle yacht", and had the ship specially made for him in Malvont. He demanded that a mothballed prototype be outfitted within twelve hours. The Office of the Shipyards had it ready in eleven.
It managed to make the trip from the Malvont Shipyard to Bisau in only 5 days, thanks to the turbo button.
