Air vehicle

Air vehicles comprise both aircrafts and airships; crafts that are able to fly by gaining support from the air. It counters the force of gravity by using either buoyancy or from jet engines. 
== Other race air vehicles ==
The other races have few air vehicles, the most advanced have reconnaissance gliders or balloons, but the most prominent usage of the aerial medium is by the use of various animals and creatures.
== Dalmer Air Vehicles ==
The dalmer have no real grasp of aeronautics whatsoever, and are entirely reliant on the aerodynamic force preservation (AFP) device to operate their aircraft. The Dalmer have developed several activities that surround aircraft and extensively developed the science of aviation, including designing and building VTOL aircraft and airships capable of low orbit operation.
===Overview===
Aircraft have a number of uses both civilian and military. They are indispensable for maintaining the lower profile the dalmer require for their lifestyle. Since roadworks and railroads are dead giveaways to Dalmer presence, the dalmer much prefer airships as a method of rapid transportation.
Aerial superiority is also a net advantage for the Dalmer, but one they rarely risk using for fear of escalation from the other races or worse the discovery of the aerodynamic force preservation device.
===Aerodynamic force preservation device===
Main Article: Aerodynamic force preservation device
The Aerodynamic force preservation (AFP) device is a machine that allows an air unit to stay above ground while it is activated and is the basis of all dalmer aeronautics.
===Aircraft Safeguard===
Should a ship fail completely, the onboard AFP (Aerodynamic force preservation device) device will keep the vessel in the air (similarly to aerocadaveric creatures) where it can hopefully be salvaged. This only has a success rate of 55%, in other cases the aircraft will crash to the ground.
