Airships were the combined creation of the Nytek Corperation and the Makou Technology Group, two front businesses of the Tripower Empire. The year was 1253 (Currently 1269 or real life 2002) when airships were introduced to the world. Before then, travel across the Great Realms was rough and long, since most nations stood far apart. But the airship allowed people to move faster and make shorter journeys to foreign lands. The trade businesses soaked this up, and in 3 short years, almost all major trading businesses owned a fleet. The Trade World boomed, and the Tripower became the Number 1 traders in the world, a title that was held by the Vectorian Nation until 1256.
The world of the air soon formed different groups, which was classified by the empires in record books. The massive increase of airship popularity was known as "The Airship Boom".
Traders
Airships and crews who flew cargo around the world to different couriers and trade posts. Their airships are slow and bulky, weighted down by cargo and big to hold more cargo.
Private
Privatly owned airships usually owned by the rich, until the Tripower started to produce the single seater airships. These airships ranged from medium to large, and were the more faster airships in the sky. Varies owners from private businesses, clans and empires.
Authority
The law enforcement of the skies. Most empires started some type of law enforcement agency for their skies during the airship boom. These ships were fast and heavily armed, equiped with air sirens to pull
other ships over for certain law breakage. Their main goal was to keep the pirates away from the traders.
Pirates
Like the earlier "pirates" of the olden day, who sailed the seas attacking trade ships, a semi-different group of pirates appeared. Mostly made up of wizards, thieves and mercenaries, the pirates took to the sky attacking trade ships to steal the cargo, and sell on the black market. They formed guilds, who in turn formed smaller groups, and setup terroritories. Their ships are fast and armed. Their natural enemy, the Authority.
Outlaws
An outlaw, who is a person who follows their own laws and rules also took airships into the skies, mainly to travel between empires. Their ships varied in size, speed and weapons, mainly pre-owned airships purchased cheaper than new. Most purchased whatever they could find. An enemy to both pirates and authority ships.
These are the five groups classified by the empires of the world, of those who fly in the air with airships.
