The Neo-Camvonian Airfleet, founded in 2278, is a relative newcomer to the Camvonian armed forces. However, it has already proved its worth, holding back an entire Hyrenese army during the Dwarven Civil War. The Airfleet has received a lot of government funding, as air supremacy has been deemed very important. Currently, the Empire has succeeded in making scale models of all-metal flying machines that don't need air sacs to keep them afloat. While these cannot be scaled up yet, there is hope that they may be in the future. The Airfleet uses several types of airships, listed here: Sky Fortresses: Enormous, nearly immobile flying platform that is very nearly what the name suggests. Usually used for bombing and support roles, their enormous cost means that there are only 4 in active service Battleships: Large zeppelins usually boasting a metal-hulled air sac and heavy guns, there are a force to be reckoned with, both on land and in the air. Dirigibles: Lighter, more mobile airships, designed for ship-on-ship actions. The Airfleet is not subdivided into smaller fleets. Total numbers are: Sky Fortresses: 4 Battleships: 75 Dirigibles:197 The battleship Ilia leaves its hangar for military drills, 2599 A Camvonian dirigible engages pirates off of Imeria, 2445 Plans for the Pateros-class battleships, the first truly modern line of air battleships to enter service, ca. 2280
