Wind's Revenge
The Wind's Revenge is a frigate class airship formerly in service of the Amazonian Navy. After falling in battle, it's wreck was commandeered and salvaged by Captain Barnabus "Barnaby" Harrier. Known by name to most of the factions in East America, it's primary claim to fame is it's speed and agility during aerial combat maneuvers. Whether this is because of modifications after it's salvage or if it's because of audacious captaining. Or if it is just because of blind luck, is yet to be seen.
