Federal fixed wing aircraft.
Added 2020-12-11 20:50:40 +0000 UTCUnpredictable weather, altitude limitations, and the fact that airships have been around for hundreds of years make fixed-wing aircraft rarely-seen, specialized tools in The Shell.
One faction that uses them is the Federal government, which prioritizes stability and reliability. This Federal packet runner is designed for one job-- delivering news and Federal commands faster than an airship can. It's robust, paired wings, and push-pull engines give it a surprising amount of maneuveraibility for its size. Small numbers of these are used in warfare, mounted with bombs or gun turrets, but fixed-wing aircraft remain a relative rarity in pitched combat.
You can see this one painted in the archtetypical federal blue-grey, with the federal ring symbol on the body and tail.
