Description
For the last 5 decades, the Northern Alliance had been struggling to keep up in terms of both techological advances and productions with their southern rival the League of the Blue Emblem. But what it lack in military units, they made it up with their countless bases all over the world, all well hidden and well stock with supplies.As the relationship between the two major powers continue to deteriorate, the Northern Alliance begin to deploy it's ships to the bases in preparation of waging economic warfare.
But most of the Alliance ships were unsuitable for long range deployment, due to their older designs, many will be limited to regions in range of the bases thus limiting their effectiveness in a economic warfare.
Here a Derfflinger-class battle-cruiser of the Northern Alliance arrived at it's new home for the upcoming war, although it will have a hard time trying to maneuver within the base itself.

Very cool; I love this! A wonderful blend of old and new tech. I like the smaller details, like the crew members you've placed in here, but I have to wonder: why the masts?

Masts are still needed for communication cables

intriguing concept.. the design on the bottom hull of the shit caught my attention, specifically the shape. Its floating as if it would always fly, but has the shape of a ship that would be water bound...is this intentional or is it coincidence; i.e. is it amphibious towards water and air?

Yup it will always fly as long as the "ballast" system is intact.
In a way it work pretty much like a submarine but in the skies, with clouds that are like the sea

Looks positively frigid! Cool stuff and interesting back-story. Make that up on the fly or is it something you've had in mind?

Brilliant. The ship's design is flawless, and it's not too extravagant, but retains all the good features of real-world battleships. The environment is great, too. Keep up the good work!
