Why airships?
MisterArnold:
How I see it is that skywhales eat loads of coal and then proceed to dip their belly in lava.
This causes the coal inside to warm up and lift the ballon that is their stomach.
Do skywhales even have bellies?
Parkourwalrus:
Maybe skywhales are whales that were exposed to the sort of gas that made dreadnoughts fly, and, over time, evolved to hold it. With that in mind, I say the wreck on scrap is a dead skywhale with some propellers next to it.
Mill Wilkinson:
Dreadnoughts flew? I thought they were just stranded big warships and the dunes are the bottom of the sea.
Parkourwalrus:
Not the big destroyer. You know on duel at dawn, that huge wrecked airship, which is also on scrap, that's the potential skywhale with propellers next to it.
Mr Pleebus:
Come on people, this is all getting over-complicated. Now, for skywhales to have evolved naturally there would have to have been sky-beasties for millions of years, and most people seem to be saying that they have come about after the great war... So, I think it's far more likely that the Republic got bored someday and attached a balloon and engines to a whale for a laugh, it's easier than building a whole ship, plus in desperate times you have a reliable food source. (Plus who's going to shoot it? It's a freaking whale, everyone will be to busy gaping)
