The Fisher

The Fisher was a vastly different take on the concept of the Aerial Cruiser exemplarized by The Orca. Built by the southernmost cities to counter Fortian expansion after the theocratic regime of Georgia fell to a new, rising power originated from the other side of the ocean, the Fisher was made to intercept the notably quick bombers of this new enemy. However, in spite of it's performance, the southern cities would fall at the hand of politics: not only were they, like the other city-states in the region, often at war with each other, but this often gave the new invaders potential allies.

While a ponderous aircraft, it's nevertheless faster than The Cloud, carries a heavy turreted armament including two 25 mm cannons and, notably, has a rotary machine gun in the nose as a fixed weapon, which enables it to brutally eviscerate it's prey. This aircraft is unusual among Eastern Seaboard giants: while it uses the 300 HP engines typical to them, it is a rare case of a de-centralized arrangement: it has two engines in each boom, coupled for a total of 600 HP engines, and a fifth one in the central fuselage.
