== Fifth Swell Sky Island Sectors ==
==Technology==
*Current Fighter Airships could not survive the turbulent fifth swell, new variants became too expensive to mass produce in time for the war.
*Grappler Airships were produced instead, they were normal piloted by machines and were used mainly to scout short distances or to shield airships.
*Machine guns became worthless as the turbulent 5th swell would wisp away the shots before they their targets.
*Most of the Pillar Alliance ships used heavy armor to enter the swell but ejected them after they passed the dangerous sixth swell, thus they didn't plan on returning home, or at least didn't think they would.
*Heavy armored Supply Bases were positioned to reinforce the Pillar Alliance, but were attacked often by the Estellion Empire, so they started converting and making sky fortresses into supply bases, such as Eizenholt.
*First major era that saw the deployment of Mobile Armors and Beam Technology.
*Fighter Airships were introduced back into warfare after Tubel took control of the Imperial Forge Works.
==New Terms==
*Outer Rim - refers to the area past the western edges of the Estellion Empire, it is a large folding field that no ship can past, presumably it extends to sea level and prevents ships from leaving The World.
*Cosmic Storm - a phenomena that occurs when a large object enters the sixth swell.
==Notes==
*Estellion can see downward through the swells and see the movements of the Alliance ships, eventually Alliance need to develop a technology to "cloak" their ships from being seen above.
*The swell is only entered through specific points, each guarded by a fortress in the sixth swell.
*Nimbus is at a lower elevation than the sky islands, it was to ensure that in the event of a mutiny it would be no threat to the empire
