The Description Game
C r o w:
A violent, out of place, tactically unsound and dangerous en masse ramming attack.
Having a very knightlike behaviour sometimes, some airship battlegroups from the Baronies form up and charge the enemy lines like they were on the ground on horseback.
While it may function against outflanked enemies, resulting in a devastating advantage for the Baronite fleets, it may also result in a disastrous high amount of losses in case the enemy had a clear line of fire on the charging vessels.
This also led to the heavy armoured prows on many mass produced Baronite vessels like the Crusader.
Lord-Castellan Ursarkar Creed
ShadedExalt:
Infamous for his tactical genius, one of his more memorable, and yet tame exploits was the careful arrangement of over 50 Galleons to look like a Baronies castle, only for the invading raiders to find out that the fat, juicy target in front of them was in fact a trap made of pain and high explosive rockets. Good friends with Governor General Vance "Motherfucking" Stubbs.
The Skywhale's Palace
C r o w:
A flying fortress, having a strong resemblance to a whale.
It's the actual residence of the cultists of Lord Dick Tim, the One that looks for the Skywhales.
It has a ridiculous ammount of firepower, and actually has a headfigure made of whale bones.
Governor General Vance "Motherfucking" Stubbs
ShadedExalt:
Governor General Vance "Motherfucking" Stubbs is an Anglean general that doubles as the Governor/Mayor of a small, but elite town of highly trained soldiers called "Guardsmen". Reknowned for taking towns from other factions, implementing new laws that benefit the populace, and moving on. Once lost 100 huge artillery platform airships. They were, according to his secretary, "misplaced" during transport. Infamous for this event, leading to people to comment that compared to the TACTICAL GENIUS (tactikal jinyas) of Creed, he is tactically inept.
He then usually shoves an artillery Galleon down the throat of whoever said it in front of him.
Got his nickname from rumours of entire town's worth of women throwing themselves at him, but due to his preference for older women, usually chose the mother of the previous mayor.
Overall, a true man's man.
Apollo's Gaze
C r o w:
Apollo was the name of a deity of sunlight of the Old World, and coincidentally it was also the name of the madman that invented the homonymous Lens Array.
The Apollo's Gaze was how people referred to a full barrage of that weapon, which prototype also had a ridiculously long range, effectively demolishing anything within the captain's sight.
For a while after its invention Captain Apollo travelled trough the lands as a mercenary, and he was also a heavy target of Guild bounty hunters, as his weapon was truly devastating and perfectly functional.
Upon retirement, he sold the blueprints of the gun to the a Guild general, that then spread the usage of the weapon throughout the regular army.
Fun fact: when drunk, once, after seeing an Anglean heavy tank being shipped trough the air-harbour, he yelled with a hilarious voice "IT IS THE BANEBLADE!"
His crew joked about that forever after.
