Description
A concise historical record of the airships of the Imperial Bordurian Sky Navy.

From the early age of the wooden sail propelled airship (basically just sea going vessels hitched to a balloon), to the first use of the suspendium drive, to the great modern sky vessels of the industrial age, this extensive collection details the airships used by the Bordurian Empire from the War of the Kingdoms to the Great Imperial War.
Items (23)
Bombardier
Created by Sensational TKO
Bombardier was one of the very first Bordurian suspendium balloons to be constructed for use in bombing raids. Its crew were supplied with several boxes of grenades. Which they dropped on the enemy below. ...
Odyssey
Created by Sensational TKO
The Odyssey is an early tech musket armed balloonship, common among many sky navies at the beginning of the War of Kingdoms. ...
Jubilation
Created by Sensational TKO
Jubilation was launched sometime after the Bombardier. Like the earlier balloonship, it was armed with grenades. But had more of them. ...
Albatross
Created by Sensational TKO
The early tech Albatross was launched not long after the Bombardier. The success of the latter marked a move away from the simple 'stick a balloon on a small sea going warship' design of airship. And for a while these kind of ornate and graceful looking ar...
Ozelot
Created by Sensational TKO
The construction of the sky brig, Ozelot, and her sister ships signalled the end of the earlier circular 'battle balloon' design of air vessel. Armed with four cannons, this small sailing blimp was the forerunner to the larger, more powerful propeller driv...
Gepard
Created by Sensational TKO
An early tech boarding vessel built by Count Von Zeppelin. ...
Typhon
Created by Sensational TKO
Typhon was an early cloud frigate built by Count Von Zeppelin during the War of Kingdoms. It had very good manoeuvrability, enabling it to keep position over an enemy vessel while unleashing its salvo of rockets. It was later superseded by the Zephyr Class...
Siegfried
Created by Sensational TKO
Built at the Erblington-Krapp airshipyards, the sky frigate Siegfried was one of the earliest Bordurian airships to be fitted with the new coal powered suspendium drive. Its design closely followed existing sea going vessels of that time as, naturally, mos...
Komet
Created by Sensational TKO
Komet was launched soon after the cruiser Siegfried. Fast and well armed, this cloud corvette differed little from sea going vessels of the time, having been designed and built by nautical architects with the addition of the newly developed suspendium driv...
Prinz Von Desan
Created by Sensational TKO
Along with its sister ship, the Siegfried, the Prinz Von Desan was one of Borduria's earliest suspendium driven airships. Unlike the other ship, however, it was fitted with two aerial charge bays for blimp defence. ...
Ironclad
Created by Sensational TKO
The Ironclad was a low tech airship built during the early War of the Kingdoms. It was slow and had a low air ceiling. Its armor consisted of sheets of iron bolted on to wooden armor. ...
Vanaheim
Created by Sensational TKO
Equipped with the latest cogwheel brass fittings and armour, the Vanaheim class cloud cruisers signalled the end of all-wooden-air-warships. Launched during the War of Kingdoms, they were still in use right up to the middle of the Great Imperial Wars. ...
Arkmunster
Created by Sensational TKO
Due to the difficulty in mounting large cannons on conventional Zeppelin style suspenium balloon airships, all steel 'heavier than air' type airships became increasingly common during the later half of the War of Kingdoms. Thus, the Arkmunster class battle...
Drachen
Created by Sensational TKO
During the latter half of the War of Kingdoms, several Arkmunster class battleships were refitted with large flame throwers. ...
Narwhal
Created by Sensational TKO
The Imperial Bordurian sky navy had long experimented with close combat assault ships. With little success. Saw blades were heavy (and they look dumb), and mounting them on an airship required careful engineering lest the ship become too front (you can tel...
Blitz
Created by Sensational TKO
Convinced that high altitude bombing was the key to eliminating most threats, Count Von Zeppelin designed a number of bombers during the early part of the Great Imperial Wars. Blitz was his most successful. ...
Zephir
Created by Sensational TKO
The Zephir and her sister ships were designed and built by Count Von Zeppelin at the height of the Great Imperial War. Her high air ceiling, double rockets, and ventral cannon proved very capable in airship to airship combat....
Graf Von Drachenfels
Created by Sensational TKO
Following the success of the Zephir class Zeppelin, Count von Zeppelin designed and built a larger and better armed 'cruiser' class version. The first of which was the Graf Von Drachenfels. It was lightly armored. With its intended role to act as battle su...
Zerstorer
Created by Sensational TKO
A replacement for the older Huszar class sky destroyers, the Zerstorer class just looked better. Being not so boringly grey. ...
Hyboria
Created by Sensational TKO
Built by Krapp Munitions Works, the Hyboria class cloud cruisers eventually took over from the Vanaheim class during the Great Imperial War. ...
Flugzeugunterwerfer Mk I
Created by Sensational TKO
The Flugzeugunterwerfer Mk I is a late tech experimental mobile armored flak platform designed to offer flak protection to static fortifications, and, in certain circumstances, air naval fleets. It fights while grounded. And, when used as support for forti...
DZ-1
Created by Sensational TKO
Although pressurised suspendium had been experimented with in the past, it was rarely used in the Bordurian sky fleet due to its volatility while under fire. However, during the latter end of the Imperial Wars, Count Von Zeppelin, never usually one to be c...
RZ-1
Created by Sensational TKO
Following the success of the armored zeppelin, the DZ-1, Count Von Zeppelin, now out of retirement despite being in his early nineties, went on to develop the RZ-1. It was better armed than its predecessor. ...
