Airships
Humans found a unique way to get from places that in some aspects tops even the vaunted tram system that connects their cities: airships.
Immense steel shells flying through the air these vessels are still an uncommon sight. Each is unique making each its own legend and story. Some have travelled greatly while others stick to specific runs like clockwork. The people aboard tend to be as unique as the vessel. It takes a special breed of folk to ride the clouds where normally only dragons tread. Several of the vessels are known to be sea-worthy as well acting like the old Earth submarines that they mimic in shape. Some are reportedly crewed primarily by ceteceans and ply the undersea depths more often then the lofty heights.
The airships differ greatly in functions owing to their varying designs. Some are lumbering cargo ships moving freight back and forth that won't fit on the trams. Others explore the lands answering to the human knack to want to see everything for themselves. Some have gone beyond the ocean to the south and the mountains of the north and never returned. Others are built to fight although it is exceedingly rare to see them active in any sort of combat due to the peaceful nature of life. Their existence is a remindor similiar to those of the Aegis that life was not always as good as it is now and may someday return to that state.
Whatever their purpose the airships are a welcome sight in any human settlement representing the most human technology has to offer and always news from somewhere else and sometimes tales of new places and things.
The basic technology of the airship are four anti-grav pods that adorn each end of the craft keeping it aloft and propelling it. Some craft have additional means of the thrust others rely entirely on this alone. All have a conning tower of some type harkening to their submarine roots. Although they mimic old Earth submarines all the airships dwarf their predecessor's in size.
