G.A.I.T.

The Gnomish Arcane Improbable Transport (or G.A.I.T. for short) is an gnomish crafted submersible that was found to allow interplanar and interstellar travel for a vessel which seems hardly seaworthy in the first place. Originally crafted as just a research vessel that would allow a crew of gnomes to explore the worlds seas and their depths in an attempt to address the power source the creator Sucros Rushe created a ship capable of travel beyond imagination.   Since then the ship has been stolen, traded, lost, and presumably escaped on it's own. Seemingly become a legend on its own the G.A.I.T. has changed the outcome of wars and religions with countless empires and sentients coveting it. Famous crews have used the G.A.I.T. to topple kingdoms while other legends have been told of hapless adventurers who have fallen prey to the ships supposed curse. The last known rumor of the G.A.I.T. involved a crew of Halflings who had been using it as a restaurant to the multiverse.

Power Generation

The power source of the G.A.I.T. is the alchemically preserved heart of a Gold Dragon. While the ship itself can run without anything else to travel beyond regular means a spell caster will infuse the heart with their own magic to power or with the furnace built inside the heartthe operators may fuel the ship with magical items.

Propulsion

The dragon heart powers all movement though arcane apparatuses depending on the type of propulsion needed. At its weakest a propeller can be deployed to power the ship through water.

Weapons & Armament

The G.A.I.T. is armed with only a few magical tools that can be operated as weapons though they were intended for use in clearing obstructions. Their weapons include rods of destruction and giant phantom limbs that can mimic the manipulations of one of the crew.

Armor and defense

Most defenses come from the enchanted steel hull that wraps around the ship. While the hull itself is solid enough the G.A.I.T. relies on it's magical defenses.

Sensors

Several small scrying mirrors are used to observe the areas around the ship with one large scrying crystal used by the captain to view both the ship and it's destination.
