Airships

The final nail in the coffin for the South was the Union’s invention of the airship. The airforce was created, and each airship served with honor and dignity. Each captain heads the ship, along with a first mate. There could be up to eight hundred men and women on an airship’s crew.

The Arabella is headed by Captain Abigail Henley, a Union pilot soldier. The Arabella was a new ship known for its speed and modern living quarters. More of a prototype for a line of airships which would work in a private sector post-war, the fantastic piece of technology (which trademarked the first perpetual engine), the Arabella was given to Captain Henley mostly for her connections in parentage. In 1886, the Arabella began its first journey from New Orleans to Boston, transporting goods and wounded soldiers. The Arabella (not so much the captain) was placed in dime novels and grand posters for its magnificence. Soon the legend of the Arabella stretched to tell the tales of a grand captain named Burberry who travelled to Europe and back, fighting pirates and sea monsters and pirate sea monsters. However, the true goings-ons were much more impressive.

After the Second Civil War, the Arabella disappeared from port, along with Captain Henley and a handful of other retired crew members.  Her loyalties are unknown.
