Ley-Cruiser

The ley-cruiser is a Thalassian airship developed by the Fireborne. Inspired by the Horde and Alliance gunships deployed in the War of Northrend, this versatile aircraft integrates elven magic with cutting-edge technology. Although much sleeker in design than its predecessors, the ley-cruiser has a broad range of offensive and defensive capabilities. Unlike other airships, which rely purely on mechanical engineering to remain airborne, the ley-cruiser stays afloat because of a special type of levitation spell. This spell is identical to the same magic that keeps Dalaran in the sky, as well as several structures in Quel'Thalas such as Duskwither Spire. Because the ley-cruiser is so dependent on arcane energy, its navigation system relies heavily on Azeroth's ley lines. Construction of the airship began in 30 L.C. and is expected to be completed in 33 L.C. with an estimated cost of 7,000,000.

Technical DetailsEdit
The ley-cruiser is 287 yards long with a beam of 36 yards. It weighs roughly 1,200 tons. Its frame is constructed out of oak and reinforced with mithril plating. It can hover 300 yards above ground and go up to speeds of 25 knots. The vessel is inscribed with a series of runes that act like arteries to its primary functions, including the main battery. The ship's engine is an arcane core that generates power at a rate of seventy mana cells per second. It can be piloted by 36 crewmen and hold up to 200 passengers.
