Fond Departures: Skyliner Class, Civilian Transport Ironclad.
The massive, refitted military ironclad was built for war, a titan of the sky capable of transporting a small army and deploying it directly onto its target while withstanding horrendous amounts of flak. Today, it has been redesigned as a cruise ship, painted stark white and capped at the nose with a huge domed window. Fond Departures is the largest still-operational skyliner of its kind. Though it now only ferries celebrities and politicians from Grand Nostridan up to the Cirrus-on-High Casino.
The Luxury cruiser occasionally makes appearances at Nostridinian celebrations, its titanic bulk used as a symbol of national power and progress. Such propaganda is highly effective, especially when the skyliner is displayed beside more modest airships. However Fond Departures continues to belong to the billionaire Enchanté Cirrus, and it’s likely that none of the people it’s meant to inspire will ever even step foot aboard.
