Airships ‣ Judgement

“	While earlier ship designs had been purchased and adapted from the Mercantile Guild, the Judgement pays homage only to its own masters. Utilizing advanced Yeshan metalworking and newly designed balloons, it has been crafted from bow to stern to cut an imposing figure across the horizon. Ships must be wary of being caught in its massive frontal barrage. To the woe of lone privateers, the Judgement was intended to fly in tight formation. As such, little thought has been given to its exposed flanks.	”
—Evadne's Reports

The Judgement is a large and heavy ship with average speed and maneuverability, with good armor and high survivability, designed for front-directed engagements. Long, but relatively narrow hull and balloon give ship a small frontal silhouette.
