2022-02-24 18:55:30Airships were generally one of five different types. The first time was the no-drive airship; basically just balloons and baskets (or whatever carriage vessel you prefer), they were held up by lighter-than-air gasses, and had no propulsion system of their own. These kinds were usually stationary or towed around by other vehicles or creatures. Even the Storm Cloud Chariot was classified as a no-drive airship.
The second kind were the fan/propeller drive airships. These used some sort o

551. Bai Hu
As it turned out, there was one more thing Woofers were great at, which they now offered as a service to the Migration.“What is that?” Remian asked, as he finally found Shadowflash next to what looked like… a giant metal dog.“That is a Lagotto Romagnolo Heavy Duty Mk VII.” Just A Dog suddenly popped out from the side and spoke out loud so everyone could hear. “The current top choice for mining mechs by every Woofer mining pack today! Those paws! That digging speed! The sheer stamina and mileage! Not to mention the durability! No other Woofer Digger Mech can compare!”As if hearing him praise it, the tail of the Woofer Digger wagged enthusiastically.“What does the tail do?” Remian had to ask.“Oh that? It’s part of the cooling system.” JAD waved dismissively. “Also a great optical communications signaller.”“Who owns this Digger?” Remian asked.“We do!” JAD said proudly. “It’s joining the Migration along with our newest Woofer recruit! Also, the Star Cruiser Cozy Den and its escorts
550. Refugees at Star System Crimson
The weeks passed.Day by day the operations and population of the Migration moved from Sorrel to Crimson. Star Hearths hauled Space Farms and Arcologies from Star System Sorrel to the orbit of Crimson Swamp. Refineries, factories, and assembly lines filled the orbit of Crimson Sands. George’s space fleet, those old ships without warp drives, were scrapped, their materials recycled and used to build newer, warp-capable vessels, or otherwise just carted off with all the other cargo.At last, on new year’s day, Sky Haven itself was separated into chunks, loaded on Star Hearths and hauled to Star System Crimson in one go. It took every Star Hearth in the Migration to do the job all at once, sixty-three Star Hearths and a few dozen Turtles to pick up miscellaneous pieces and anything left of worth in a sort of mop up. From then on, the Migration would be fully based in Crimson.Remian arrived in Star System Crimson in the last Star Hearth to leave Sorrel. With him were Phoebe and Ermine, a
549. Last Ops on Sorrel II
While most of the Migration’s leadership were poring over the launch of the Star Hearth, one in particular was much too busy to pay attention.It was George.While everyone else in the leadership was off in space and flying away to other star systems, he was back on the ground on Sorrel II, fighting Mitigok, scrambling against time to save as many people as he could from the ruins of the New Dragon Empire.“Third Legion, advance and cover the Fifth’s left flank!” George ordered from atop Raven’s flagship, surrounded by snipers covering the supply depot below. On either side of the Sky Galleon were lines of artillery airships providing fire support and bombarding far away targets. In front of him were five Turtle Shieldships protecting the air fleet, yes, Turtles, not the starship types, but the spaceship types, the old ones built before they were able to build warp drives.When everyone else took to space, George specifically changed his focus from helping people out there, to helping
548. Star Hearth
In the following month, most of Starbright’s assets were dismantled and shipped to Star System Crimson. Their Shipyards and other facilities were placed in orbit around Crimson Sands, taking full advantage of its abundance of iron and other metals. The Nanoline Manufactory and Matter Compressor were finally finished and brought to full functionality there.The first Star Hearth Shipyard was built as the second month came around. It was rather scrappy and clunky comapred to the streamlined Long Haul and Turtle shipyards, but Benny assured Remian that it would do the job.Starbright started building the first Cruiser slowly. The project stalled several times and there were a few stumbles, but by the third month, the general form of the Cruiser was coming along well.By that time, Sky Haven itself was ready for dismantling and shipping. It and a smattering of defense stations, space farms and other mobillized space stations were still drifting their way toward Sorrel VI, but if necessary
547. Planet Heart
“What planet did you offer?”“Crimson II, also known as Crimson Swamp, Crimson Sand’s sister world.” Tim said. “In case you’re wondering, Crimson Sands’ official name is Crimson III, the third planet of the Crimson Star System.”Remian perked up. “Is it inhabitable?”“Too inhabitable. Low gravity, lots of humidity. There are a lot of big, fierce lizards down there.” Tim said. “Big bugs too. Not a place I’d want to build a settlement, but the Star Wolf King likes it as a hunting ground. Or a training ground. They’ve got big edible fruits and plants too, but Alani says the Elven crops have higher yield for less space.”“The Star Wolf King is there?”“Oh yes, he moved over with his main clan two months ago. They’ve been happily digging and hunting ever since. Incidentally, they have their own fleet now, three Star Galleons and
546. Enetari Radicals
While Dinah was having tea with Eriane and Isabella, Tim was working on overdrive.Thousands of Lynxmice scoured Sky Haven. They sped through the ventilation shafts. They lurked among the maintenance tunnels. They spied and bugged and stalked and staked out all manner of Enetari. Once suspicions were confirmed, rogue Enetari began to disappear off the streets.They called themselves the Enetari Renaissance, committed to ‘restoring Enetari superiority across the galaxy’, a greater vision than the ‘already great’ Enetari at home. For the sake of their superiority, they would stop at nothing where their lessers (such as the Sorrelians and basically everybody who wasn’t Enetari) were concerned.Tim had another name for them; Enetari Radicals. He caught them attempting sabotage, planting explosives, stealing cheesecakes, and riling up Woofers with bribes of lamb-flavored kibbles in attempt to turn them against the local adm
