A.D.S. Phoenix
Originally commissioned by Penelope Davneiros to be used by the Wardens, the Phoenix is an Elemental Airship used by the Aegis Dawn knighthood as an alternative means for global travel. The Phoenix is the first of it's class; it was designed as a multi-role, exploratory cruiser with equal capacity for fighting, transport, and scientific endeavors. Over it's many years of service, the Phoenix has seen its fair share of discoveries and battles. It has received countless modifications and upgrades. At one point, people had referred to it as one of the most resilient ships in history.
It's first captain was Admiral Juliana Dour (Also previously known as Diamond Roughe). She retired her commission and service to the Wardens of Jade, when the wardens were shutting down their fleets and armies in accordance to ancient law. To help the Wardens still, the Admiral (now Captain) decided to join the Aegis Dawn, a knighthood who indirectly assisted the Wardens.
The Phoenix class of elemental airships had a few unique features. The most noticeable is it's ability to service additional small aircraft. With an internal garage, an elevator landing pad, and an extendable runway that opens out the front of the ship, the Phoenix was the first airship that could provide a mobile base of operations for early aircraft in Jade. Another feature is the Airship's shielding system. Using specially devised arcane crystals that are placed in strategic parts of the ship's hull and fueled by mana crystals, the ship can deploy a bubble-like shield that can stop most projectiles until it is broken. This shield does allow the Phoenix's weapons to fire and for aircraft to leave the vessel, however aircraft can not enter the bubble. The shield also prevents teleporting into and out of the bubble. For scientific purposes, the bridge of the ship is equipped with identification crystals that allow for scanning of objects from a certain distance. Over the years, the Phoenix would be equipped with various equipment as needed by the Aegis Dawn.
