Air Yacht

They may seem pretty standard at first, you know, since they're just an airship at first glance. But trust me, get a bit closer and you'll see a difference from that dull exterior of a usual cruise ship and when you manage to go inside, well. You'll see why they are so in demand by the most wealthy of customers. A shipyard man talking about the yachts

Prestiege

The yachts are considered some of the finest vehicles one can afford, blending luxurious glamour of almost palace-like interiors with the travelling effectiveness of an airship. There are very few companies that specialize in the building of such ships, as it requires a modified shipyard, which is not easy to attain. Besides, there is a slim clientele due to the extreme prices these can go for. Those depend on the type of yacht, its size and interior decoration. Usually, the ones in possession of the biggest yachts are the most wealthy aristocrats, national-wide enterprise owners or the most important governmental officials. The smallest ones can be afforded, for example by aristocrats owning a big regional business.

Imperial air yachts

One of the companies that builds these yachts, the Verfandische Imperial Shipyard Company (VISC), is most notably known for its specific variation known as an "imperial" type. These are built specifically for monarchs of imperial rank titles and incorporate design elements of warships to make them far more secure and defendable, boasting a larger and more diverse armament range, as well as armourment.

Power Generation

The way the ship is powered depends on the manufacturer. If it is of Consortial origins then it's most probably powered by a catalyst generator. While if it was built by a any other manufacturer outside of the Central Continent, an electric power generator is usually used.

Weapons & Armament

Even though the yachts are civilian grade ships, they do have a very small defence system that usually consists of 2-5 anti-aircraft guns depending on the size of the ship.

Communication Tools & Systems

Basic equipment encompasses a radio array and communication transistor that consists of an input, usually a microphone of some sort, and output, most commonly speakers.

Hangars & docked vessels

The bigger yachts have small docking hangars for hot-air balloons that usually serve as a leisure activity during the ship's stop time.

It could be said about them that when it comes to flying with style, there is no better way to do it. A crewman of an air yacht
