Airship (Lost Tribe of the Sith)

Airships were built by the Lost Tribe of Sith in order to cross the large ocean between Keshtah Minor and Alanciar on the planet Kesh. At first the Tribe tried building boats, but the vosso wood from Keshtah was too dense, and would simply sink in water. Edell Vrai observed that some of the noxious gases coming out of the Sessal Spire volcano would be able to lift something made of a lighter material. A balloon was filled with methane and hydrogen to lift the airship up, while a gondola was constructed from latticed hejarbo shoots. An uvak on either side of the airship would be used to steer it.

Three of these airships, the Candra, Dann Itra, and Lillia, were used in an attempt to explore the continent of Alanciar, but all three were shot down in there first engagement with the Alanciari Shore Guard.

The Tribe had also prepared a whole fleet of airships, the Ebon Fleet, which they later used in the Invasion of Alanciar. Grand Lord Varner Hilts' personal airship, the Good Omen was among this fleet.
