Special thanks go to @Tsuchiisan for helping me with a lot of things, he suggested a few names and story to go along with it from his previous work that is now gone, many thanks.
[ Imato Kaigun ]
|[ Airship #1 ]|
Built by the Imato Pirates, the affectionately nicknamed Kaigun is a area defense airship, slow but well armored for it's size, the Imato Kaigun boast one armor-punching powerful gun crewed by only the finest gunner Imato has, it's 75mm terror can only be relieved if you can penetrate the thick front faceplate of the gun and it's rotating engine is capable of propelling it in all directions leave hostile ground troops chasing it around, overall, for the purpose they were built for, Imato Kaigun is a great floating gun platform, even if they're made out of scraps and shoelaces you found in the back of your drawer
[ Isaia Skaya ]
|[ Airship #2 ]|
Built somewhere around the 18th century, Isaia Skaya is a Amaransian-built Airship which despite her large size, she is rated as fifth rate warship, quick and agile for it's size and time, Isaia-class was quite a beloved one for transporting goods or offering a quick trip between islands safely and fast, her ample storage space below deck coupled with a sizable fuel storage can sustain decently long flights with full capacity cargo hold easily and her armor plates protects both the gun crew and cargo safely until she reaches her destination incase pirates happens to attack you.
[ Parisia ]
|[ Airship #3 ]|
Owned by the famed explorer Avonie Livaliea, the Parisia is a medium-sized Explorer Airship, equipped with many facilities to sustain extended expeditions and cargo bays to haul many supplies and equipment, it is also equipped with a few decently-sized artillery and plenty enough protection to boot, the Parisia is no easy picking for the pirates, even if they are well-equipped.
[ Danke! ]
|[ Airship #4 ]|
Built originally as one of the Hiefl-class Cargo Airship, Danke! is one of five airships converted to an Auxiliary Cruiser/Hilfskreuzer for the Walkurian Air Navy, boasting a few hidden daggers, she can bear arms of 6× guns to one direction, more than enough to cripple any unfortunately less armed or armored pirate vessels.
[ Tether ]
|[ Airship #5 ]|
Built as an replacement to the Stickler-class, Tether is one of the many Airships of the T-class Rearm Supply Ship of the Liebherwesserien Joint Aerial Navy, well-equipped with the facilities to transport and move cargo around, Tether like her sisters boasts several small engines used for maneuvering the Airship to position or holding it while she moves the necessary supplies onboard the airship she's rearming, however, being naturally big, the T-class is one of prime vessels for pirates to attack, the only problem for them is.. the T-class boasts a heavy gun, a stout one sure, but even a graze will leave you hanging by the thread.
[ Tirtanauhwel ]
|[ Airship #6 ]|
just one of the many generic Journeyman Airships, Tirtanauhwel is named after an ancient god who's name is lost to time and only few heard, but besides that, there is really nothing impressive about it, besides the comfortable bed I guess..
[ Aufen ]
|[ Airship #7 ]|
The lead Airship of the Aufen-class Light Cruisers of the Walkurian Air Navy, Aufen is fitted with ample armaments for it's class size, the exchange being that it's slower than most if not all standard light cruisers, made to escort Cargo Airships however, it's not really much of a problem for Aufen, though it's speed really leaves less to be desired when chasing down other airships.
[ Luckeroon ]
|[ Airship #8 ]|
Built to patrol the borders of the Nachilvissen Republic, Luckeroon is one of the oldest home-built Airship of the Nachilvissen Airforce, even participating near the end of the Grand Rebellion, Luckeroon is designed to be able to cruise as far as 39.000km without refueling or resupplying, she takes many jobs throughout her lifetime including being a mail airship, a resupplier, and even a mobile hospital at one point, she now rests her wings on the Petra Aerodrome where she is now preserved along with many other Airships like her.
[ Indure ]
|[ Airship #9 ]|
Built around the Grand Rebellion, Indure at the time is the lead flagship and the pride of the Velassaequez Aerial Navy, she is outsetly designed as a Pocket-battleship, armed with few large-caliber short-barrelled 256mm Cannons, she fought valiantly against Lilliaturinn Aerial Navy's Heavy Cruiser "Minerva" and both were heavily damaged, Velassaequez Republic sued for neutrality by pushing the fact that Lilliaturinn attacked first and asked for reparations; Indure as a result was repaired and refloated back again but by the end of the war, her structure was too heavily damaged to keep repairing her and a few design problems delivered her last blow and she was scrapped not long after, her nameplate now sat above the entrance of the home drydock she was built in.
[ Minerva ]
|[ Airship #10 ]|
Built quickly and hidden away from prying eyes, Minerva is the only ship of her class, originally built by pirates, Minerva was seized by the Lilliaturinn Kingdom, she was planned to be scrapped for war materials, but the heated borders was in need of more help at the time, it was then decided to continue building her, armed with mixed-caliber guns of varying sizes, she outsetly is practically a lightly-armored battleship, having 4× Main single 223mm gunturrets and a few other smaller guns, she was heavily damaged while in a scuffle with the Velassaequez Aerial Navy's Heavy Cruiser "Indure", the Lilliaturinn Republic lost contact with Minerva and she was last sighted running into the Special Region "Mist", elaboration with the Velassaequez Republic was met with bitter statement that they were the one who attacked first, since Minerva is lost and Velassaequez sued in being a neutral nation, Lilliaturinn who is already stripped from the ongoing rebellion both Grand and internal decided against waging a war with them and paid reparations so as to hope that Velassaequez stays neutral throughout the Grand Rebellion, Minerva's Wreck was never found..
[ Arcane Lupis ]
|[ Airship #11 ]|
built by an unknown civilization, Arcane Lupis is an unearthed Artefact of a presumably long-gone era, powered by a reactor/furnace of unknown fuel, Lupis was transported to a research facility in Jottentagvn via Airship to be inspected as it is somehow still in relatively pristine condition..
[ Unneiwa ]
|[ Airship #12 ]|
one of the three Light Cruiser classes used by the Russerria Army Air Corps, Unneiwa is the lead ship of it's class that is named after meritorious or honorable servicemens, Unneiwa-class boasts high speed to chase down smaller airships than her, in return however, her armor is subpar than most, her armaments are a balanced mix of anti-air and anti-airship, her range is relatively far for a Russerrian Airship thanks to being outsetly designed initially as an expedition/patrol airship.
[ ?????? ]
|[ Airship #13 ]|
one of the three Light Cruisers classes used by the Russerria Army Air Corps, ?????? is the third ship of it's class that is named after birds and insects of the Russerrian Empire, ?????? boasts excellent armaments to counter airships of the same size, with armor rather aplenty and speed sufficient, it is a well all-rounder of the three classes provided that it's range does not limit its ability.
[ N.1 ]
|[ Airship #14 ]|
one of the three Light Cruisers classes used by the Russerria Army Air Corps, N.1 is the lead Airship of the Neoll-class, unlike her air-sisters, the Neoll-classes borders the line between Light Cruiser and Heavy Cruiser, her armaments are heavyweight triple turrets and her size is almost nearly twice of the Barr-class Destroyers, her speed is no slouch either, granted enough time to accelerate, she could go kindly over //// knots, however, as with almost all Russerrian Empire Airships, her travel range leaves less to be desired for it's size.
(P.S. Neoll is named in honor after the designer and lead engineer of the N.1 project, Neoll Histenheann, who died due to his complicated heart disease two weeks after the N.1 project was finished, he was given a military burial and with no families to inherit his legacy, his assets were donated to an apprentice of his according to his last will.)
[ Sonderisstan ]
|[ Airship #15 ]|
the lead ship and the only one in it's class, Sonderisstan is an Aerial Battleship of the Russerrian Army Air Corps, boasting a grand total of seven 223mm twin gunturrets and many point defense artillery, Sonderisstan is one of the first battleship fielded by Russerria, it boasts a phenomenal cruising range although it's gun caliber leaves less to be desired for it's class size by today's standard, Sonderisstan was retrofitted multiple times to keep up with other more modern Aerial Battleships although it is now relegated to patrol duties, she also served and helped the Russerrian SAR team often times thanks to her powerful Spotlights, she may be old but she still boasts the title "Sawaran Lady" proudly with glee.
[ Barr ]
|[ Airship #16 ]|
Designed to patrol the borders of the Russerrian Empire, Barr-class Destroyers are built to cruise further than ships of the same size while still retaining the same speed of typical Destroyers, following Russerrian doctrine of many small communication ships, Barr-class is also equipped with a very powerful transmitter for it's size, in exchange, it's armament is less many than most contemporary Destroyers, it does however do its job well, Barr-class also sometimes serve as a signal tower when necessary like when the Earthquake that hit the Niamat region striked, with the ground communications line down, a search-and-rescue operation was immediately issued using Barr's powerful transmitter and casualties was reduced to a minimum, Barr received Russerria's Silver Moon medal for her participation and quick actions that saved many lives that day and her captain was promoted on the spot, when asked if she wants to command a much more bigger ship, she refused and continued to command Barr till the end of her service life.
[ Rosenthal ]
|[ Airship #17 ]|
Built to fight in the Special Region "Crater", Rosenthal-class is the Visseriestayn's solution to the heated conflict in the Special Region between Walkuria and Visseriestayn, designed radically different from standard airships, Rosenthal-class donned a single long-barrelled large caliber railway gun that spanned almost as long as the airship herself, because of that, her point defense weapons are only a few but her weakness is typically covered by the munitions escort ship.
[ Brunnhildë ]
|[ Airship #18 ]|
Built to combat Visseriestayn airships in the Special Region "Crater", the Brunnhildë is the lead ship of the Walkurei-class Experimental Cruiser, armed with a single large Coil-Chemical Artillery, Brunnhildë can reach ranges upward of 40km effectively in the region, she can fire her artillery with only chemical propellant or in tandem with the Magnetic Accelerator which requires an external powerplant airship to fire repeatedly, on its own power, her battery and supercapacitor can provide her with at most 5 fully-powered shots before needing to recharge the battery, unlike Rosenthal-class of the Visseriestayn's Royal Navy, Walkurei-class has ample point-defense weapon thanks to its more compact artillery and slightly bigger size, later in the war, Walkurei-classes were refitted with better range directors and fire control systems, improving it's hit accuracy, resulting in the Visseriestayn pulling Rosenthals out of service thanks to the losses they had on the Crater Front.
[ Tessel ]
|[ Airship #19 ]|
Built as a stopgap solution to hold the Crater Front, Tessel-class are a relatively small airship, however, Tessel boasts a single experimental EMP Cannon, powered by explosions, Tessel charges her flux compression generator and fires a violently-spinning electromagnetic ball that disables or outright cripple electrical systems while also electrocuting unfortunate crews that happens to be hit by it, however, Tessel can only fire a few shots in succession thanks to its violently volatile system, needing to replace the blast pump every few 7-8 shots or so and Tessel can only carry so many spare pumps onboard.
(P.S. Tessels is also equipped with a Arbalest Reactor, she can propel herself up in an instant and expel the gasses via a duct vent if she reaches the desired altitude, this system is what made it significantly larger as it was needed to ambush and get close enough to the desired target it wants to shoot.)
[ Liezer ]
|[ Airship #20 ]|
An experimental airship developed by the Liebherwesserien States, Liezer is the only ship of her class, converted from a Trieslvon Light Cruiser, Liezer differed in the fact that she now only donned a single experimental Westerlund Energy Cannon as her main battery, powered by a 20.3cm supercapacitor shells, the round itself is reusable and is chargeable with the facilities onboard Liezer, the energy cannon although deals a minuscule damage compared to contemporary same-caliber cannons deals a short but high-temperature beam that upon impact imparts a lot of heat to the area it hits, this may incapacitate personnels or light flammable materials ablaze, the energy cannon also offers an unparalleled accuracy as long as it is calibrated properly, the energy cannon may be the weapon of the future, but for now, it remains a state secret of the Liebherwesserien States.
[ Calliope ]
|[ Airship #21 ]|
Built by the Liebherwesserien States to experiment with rocket-based artillery, Calliope donned several launcher batteries containing 38× 122mm Rockets, she is also equipped with a rudimentary and experimental Trajectory Clock that allowed it to calculate the impact points and the ballistics of the rockets, significantly improving it's accuracy, "unfortunately however, Calliope was lost in an accident.. " in reality, Calliope was sabotaged, her third and last test before going into service resulted in the detonation of one of the rocket artillery causing a chain reaction of ruptures and detonation of the rocket munitions onboard, investigation of the burning wreck revealed tampering but this is information is closely guarded by the states for fear of mass hysteria.
[ Shuuya ]
|[ Airship #22 ]|
the Flagship of the 3rd Walkurian Expeditionary force, Shuuya is a medium-sized retrofitted cargo airship armed with several short 170mm, she boasts relatively heavy armor and various facilities for the crews and her ample cargo hold can store many supplies or equipments for varying operations, Shuuya is named after the Wissmann Duchy's daughter Hansen Shuuya Wissmann who is a meritorious subject to the Walkuria Republic, serving as an ace pilot of the 91st Air Corps "Nixenloft".
[ Haizou ]
|[ Airship #23 ]|
built by the Yuelian Empire as a Fast Aerial Carrier, Haizou is the second airship of the Yuenyang-class, boasting a decent airwing for it's size, she is equipped with a launch deck to quickly deploy it's airwings and two trapeze systems to recover them, Haizou is also equipped with many small-caliber point defense guns to protect her from small threats if necessary, used to escort the more faster cargo ships of the Yuelian Empire, she is most excellent in screening/reconnaissance duty but is also capable of deploying rocketeers or lancers if needed.
[ Yanyue ]
|[ Airship #24 ]|
the oldest airship currently in service with the Yuelian Airforce, Yanyue is the only ship of her class, armed with two twin 170mm artillery in staggered En Echelon arrangement, she is also armed with smaller 90mm cannons in casemate mounts to protect her from smaller ships, despite being classed as a battleship, she is rather petite and small and at best is only comparable to light cruiser by today's standard, being the symbol and mascot of the Yuelian Airforce however, she will be in service more longer than initially thought she would, already going past her intended service life by 20 years now.
[ Abderiana ]
|[ Airship #25 ]|
built during the Esprazia Civil War, Abderiana is the lead ship of only four Abderiana-class Heavy Cruisers serving the Makarellia Royal Navy, armed with four 181mm twin gunturrets, Abderiana is plagued with several problems in her service life, unreliable engines resulted in more often than not a towing airship is escorting her, gunturret's traverse gear often malfunctioned, and her rather small gas ballast resulted in a terrible climb rate, after the civil war ended, three out of four ships were sent to the scrapyard, with the only airship left being the Lyreia, she was sold to the Mihonia Union and was both retrofitted and renamed by one of the twelve main clans.
[ Harp-oon ]
|[ Airship #26 ]|
Formerly the Abderiana-class Heavy Cruiser "Lyreia", she was retrofitted and renamed by the Archeon Clan, her unreliable engines were replaced, her guns were replaced with Mihonia's 179mm for standardization and made lighter to minimize malfunction, and most importantly, both a slightly larger gas ballast and a better gas mixture was introduced that nearly eliminated the terrible climb rate, she served the Mihonia Joint Aerial Navy for a few decades before being put into reserve and then redeployed as the flagship of the 2nd Mihonia Expeditionary Force as a Grand Explorer, her name is a play of words, from Lyreia(lyre) to a Harp, and the joke is completed with the -oon added at the end of it.
[ Anastasia ]
|[ Airship #27 ]|
built as a replacement for the older Fantheil-class in service with the Makarellia Royal Navy, Anastasia is the fourth airship of the Spazia-class Light Cruisers, she boasts several heavy-caliber gun mounts outclassing similarly-sized airships in terms of firepower and her speed is the star of the show in terms of her ability, however, Anastasia lacked sufficient protection for it's guns, with at best providing the gun mounts with armor enough to repel only up to 114mm shells, Anastasia's service was well but short-lived, the class replaced by the more better and improved Ronna-class after the Doctrine Reformation Action, Spazia-class was then put in the reserves with one airship then sold to the privateer group Spirito Della Signora after being neglected for years on end.
[ Sorella Leontyne ]
|[ Airship #28 ]|
Formerly Makarellia Royal Navy's Spazia-class Heavy Cruiser, Spirito Della Signora rehauled her entire structure and replaced many subsystems, all of her large 181mm cannons was ditched in favor of one larger, more well-protected, and certainly heavier 305mm gunturret salvaged from an unknown naval battleship, she also donned a Harpoon Launcher converted from a 152mm turret for reeling in or tethering airships if needed, her multiple engines are replaced by a terrifyingly silent large contra-rotating ducted fan and she is also equipped with a miniature Arbalest Reactor to if she needs to propel herself upwards rapidly, Sorella Leontine became the Spirito Della Signora's Task Force Flagship, being the third biggest ship in possession of the SDS after Sorella Theresa and Herr Izhasnaya.
[ Sorella Theresa ]
|[ Airship #29 ]|
Home-built by the SDS, Sorella Theresa is a formidable Aerial Battleship, slow but donning several powerful 305mm naval gunturrets, Theresa protected SDS borders and homebase along with Herr Izhasnaya, she is named in honor of one of the founding members of Spirito Della Signora, sister Illanotte Theresa.
[ Herr Izhasnaya ]
|[ Airship #30 ]|
retrofitted from a former Walkurian Battleship "Azael", Herr Izhasnaya is the largest battleship in SDS possession, named in honor of one of the founding members of the Spirito Della Signora, Izhasnaya is armed with several slightly outdated but powerful 283mm twin gunturrets, Herr Izhasnaya also boasts great speed for it's size even with it's thick armor plating covering, being one of the two only battleships of the SDS, he and Sorella Theresa protected SDS Borders for many years now, because of them, SDS managed to keep the Special Region "Haze" for decades in their possession, providing their privateers a home to return back to.
[ Avoseny ]
|[ Airship #31 ]|
Planned to replace the older Sveshnaya Light Cruisers, Avoseny-class turned out not much different in practice and ended up being integrated along with Sveshnayas, she is armed with 8× 161mm single gunmounts and plenty of smaller caliber guns to supplement her rather lack of firepower, in duty, she provides air coverage for the fleet from Rocketeer or Lancer Airgroups but is also relatively adept at countering smaller Destroyer Airships if needed be.
[ Vanguard ]
|[ Airship #32 ]|
Built initially as a Super Battleship, Vanguard was rehauled when she was halfway finished and redesigned as an aviation battleship, retaining only four of the planned eight 356mm gunturrets, she is now equipped with aircraft facilities and is capable of projecting a lot of variety of aircrafts including Reconnaissance, Fighters, Rocketeers, and Lancers, she served as Visseriestayn's 2nd Main Fleet Flagship.
[ Linwei ]
|[ Airship #33 ]|
A small destroyer airship named after the Xueyan Clan Chairman's daughter, Linwei is lightly armed but boasts a phenomenally long cruise range for it's size, made for her daughter in hope that if she ever decided that she doesn't want to continue his legacy, the Linwei can atleast be the Chairman's last gift for her.
[ Youkè ]
|[ Airship #34 ]|
A Yuelian-made Journeyman Airship, Youkè boasts a generous space onboard, maps, books, and many things can be fitted inside her gondola which also provides a very large visibility thanks to the large glass panels that the gondola has, the sleeping quarters however is the downside of this airship, if you're a large person that is, the second story(if you can call it that) is the bedroom/storage space of the Youkè, the ceiling is only 150cm tall(or 4.5ft), other than that, she is also armed with a single 13mm water-cooled Potchie Machinegun mounted on rails that it can be moved to either side of the airship for protection.
[ Hamuko ]
|[ Airship #35 ]|
A relatively small and stout civilian airship, Hamuko is one of Hamsterdaam Industries airships that they offer to the general public, boasting a decent cargo hold/passenger capacity(depending on the type), Hamuko comes in a variety of colors, with the most common color chosen being a shiny metallic silver.
(P.S. Hamsterdaam Industries is a Jottentagvn-based Aviation Company, yes, they also sell hamsters.)
[ Helios ]
|[ Airship #36 ]|
built to chase down Heavy cruisers and Light cruisers, Helios-class are the first Battlecruisers fielded by the Visseriestayn Royal Navy, armed with 4× 283mm twin gunturrets and 6× 283mm casemate gunmounts, Helios large engines propels it with enough speed to chase down even destroyers, however, being a Battlecruiser, Helios-classes naturally donned a rather weak armor for it's size, providing her with protection only up to 170mm shells or 223mm at best, Helios served the Royal Navy for a lengthy few decades before being retired and then scrapped, her sisters sharing the same fate excluding Ikaros which was sold to the Lilliaturinn Aerial Navy and Hyperion which is converted to a Fleet Carrier (so technically, half-sisters?).
[ Hyperion ]
|[ Airship #37 ]|
Built by the Visseriestayn Royal Navy to experiment with a larger aircraft-based armament airships, Hyperion is a Fleet Carrier converted from the unfinished hull of one of the Helios-class Battlecruisers, boasting a large hangar space enough to store 52 aircrafts along with their munitions and fuel, Hyperion can keep up or even outrun her own task group thanks to her large engines that she inherited from the Helios-classes, Hyperion commands and serves as the flagship of the 2nd Aerial Carrier Task Group, patrolling the eastern borders of Visseriestayn Kingdom.
[ Iveria ]
|[ Airship #38 ]|
Built by the Walkurian Air Navy hoping to act as a stopgap against the Visseriestayn Royal Navy's "Hyperion", Iveria and her sister Iridia is an Aerial Carrier converted from Ausonia-class Aerial Liner, classified practically as an Escort Carrier at best, Iveria is a small and slow Aerial Carrier, boasting only 20× aircraft with limited munitions and fuel store, both of them served relatively peaceful lives before being retired, lended, and then sold to the Narvayon Aerial Navy and their name kept the same.
[ Reina ]
|[ Airship #39 ]|
An Aerial Troopship of the Schrann-class that is operated by the Walkurian Air Navy, Reina is the 24th ship of the class, ferrying Axis troops to the frontline, Reina was later modified to accommodate dropping of a dozen or so armored/mechanical infantry loaded into drop pods, however with better and newer Troopships launched into service, she and her sisters were eventually dismantled for resources, only 3 ships of the Schrann-class survived today, with only one of them being in relatively pristine flight condition.
[ Andreikov ]
|[ Airship #40 ]|
A bomber airship of the Sovkremnyia Union Highfleet, Andreikov is a medium-sized armored airship with two large external bomb bays, following the outdated but still equally terrifying practice of doctrine, Andreikov-class along with other similarly-tasked lighter or heavier bomber airships are deployed when aerial superiority is achieved, the doctrine however started showing its age much sooner than expected, being easily overwhelmed and taken down by Lancer or Rocketeer Aircrafts deployed directly from aerial carriers or nearby airfield, the bomber airships ended up as an almost sour footnote in the Sovkremnyia Highfleet, needing the more and more scarce light cruisers for their anti-air escorts later in the war.
[ Luxetas ]
|[ Airship #41 ]|
An old 17th century aerial steamship of the Amaransian State, now a part of the Liebherwesserien States, classed as a sixth-rate, Luxetas lacked somewhat in the armament department but also revolutionized aerial warfare by introducing elevated turntables to it's design, paving the way to modern Aerial ship-to-ship combat of the 18th and early 19th century, a working 1:1 scale replica of her sits in the Nascensia Museum of History.
[ Howland ]
|[ Airship #42 ]|
The lead ship of only 14 minedroppers, Howland-class served as a strategic weapon, often dropping aerial mines and their operation crews to hard-to-reach places for ground troops, they can carry and deploy up to 6 mine sites before needing to return back to rearm, she is also armed with several light twin gunturrets to protect herself if needed, the Howland-class served well as both an active and passive deterrent against the Visseriestayn Monarchy from crossing the Liebherwesserien Borders, no ships of the Howland-class survived the war sadly.
[ Breslau ]
|[ Airship #43 ]|
Breslau is an Aerial Anti-air cruiser converted from the older Dreihoff-class Light cruiser and operated by the Walkurian Air Navy, she is armed with many centerline and wing small armored quick-firing AA turrets, 4 ships were converted to protect civilian airships from the scourge of the rogue Aerial Carrier Hissaria, it served rather well as a deterrent but was eventually phased out after the Hissaria Incident as the structure was deteriorating and the lack of sufficient ship-to-ship armament eventually pinned it down as the 3rd ship of the class, Eberhard, was shot down by a pirate group, that incident sent the final blow resulting in the last three cruisers being scrapped for materials.
Turns out you're a girl as well, glad to see another girls in this site

FedEx Delivery Airships When?
Wondering when aircraft carriers were going to be introduced
