Dwarven Skyships
*Dwarven vessels are rather rare, given their tendency to dwell underground and create wide-spanning empires connected by tunnels. Though teleportation magic is far more common, dwarves still find the need to transport large amounts of goods and defend the same. No one wants to be left incapable of challenging air superiority.
Anvil (Planetary Defense Fighter from Hyperlanes, X-Wing from Star Wars)

Saves: Dexterity, Charisma, Constitution, Wisdom Cost: 150,000 gp

Battle Station A: Piloting, Sensors, Gunnery

Anvils are versatile and reliable craft that have seen service for centuries. Capable of FTL and boasting a potent weapon, most dwarves who need to travel the space lanes choose one of these over a shuttlecraft or larger escort. The most common upgrade is Mobility, but even the relatively slow speed doesn’t diminish dwarven pride in these machines. As defensive vessels, they are incredible fighters.
Mastodon (Bulk Freighter from Hyperlanes, YT-1300 Transport from Star Wars)

Mastodons are popular craft among more than just dwarves, and given dwarven predilections, more of these are sold to other hands than remain among dwarves. Despite being unimpressive, these craft are versatile and responsive to customization.
The following war machines are almost unique to dwarves. Unlike the popular Mastodon craft, dwarven war machines are built with the defense of fixed positions in mind, which places little emphasis
