The Persephone

The black and yellow hull cut a streak across the dawn sky. A fool might think it was fleeing but it was not. It was a triumphant beast of propaganda for the Greek Technocracy. Its hull was painted black to conceal the innumerable scorch marks and gouges carved from battle, tarred to contain the pressurized gas that helped keep it aloft. Its jet turbines sucked in air, keeping the beast aloft as it purged ballast to direct its momentum.

It was a beast on the prowl, hunting another terrible creature, the wounded German wunderwaffen crewed by hundreds of Flammenwanderers. It had continued to fight even after the armistice was signed, waging a guerrilla war across the alps. It was a foundry on legs, ripping apart mountains for raw materials, raiding entire cities and converting them into the automatons. They called it the Alptraum, since the actual designations had been lost in the constant repairs and innovations from the twisted genius that had constructed it and still lived within it.

The Persephone was no stranger to war, it had killed fifteen landkreuzers over the course of the war but it had been batted away by this monster. Now, with a full ammunition payload, a platoon of converted Flammenwanderers and a determined crew.

I decided to build an airship again! Well, it started off as a new landship but I decided that I needed to build something different. I had been listening to the album Hadestown and the song Our Lady of the Underground, so I came up with the idea to make a black and yellow ship modeled after everyone's favorite Queen.

Overall I think it was alright for my first original airship, since the Vindictus was a Disith Reparation class ship, its schematic lost in server politics sadly and has been put on hold indefinitely. I wanted to make a Ziz, Leviathan and Behemoth type setup, and this I guess fills Ziz's roll. The Behemoth will be the Alptraum and the Leviathan shall be probably a crazy Ethiopian megaship or something <_<.

The schematic will come in time, I want to place some easter eggs in it before I upload it.

Additional Notes

I cannot vouch for its appearance with any texture pack besides Glimmar.
