Human Vessels
Humans are the most diverse species in both worlds, and the Empire reflects only a small portion of them. Other human ship designs vary widely, but a small handful of designs have proven so popular that they’ve become associated with human engineering.

These vessels are heavily modified Mastodons, purchased from the dwarves and refitted with superior equipment. Though this variant is common, another version uses fire damage and includes the Nimble trait instead. Most of them look exactly like Mastodons, creating a great deal of confusion (and lending the dwarven vehicle a dangerous mystique).
Human war machines are characterized by mobility. Every model commonly built by non-Imperial human nations utilizes jump jets, and humans also sport a rare LAM design. This focus doesn’t detract from the efficacy of their war machines however, as many who underestimate human engineering have learned.
