A14: Shoebill

The A14: Shoebill is the modern cargo vessel of choice of the merchant fleet of The Pact, and even many of the free traders of the United Federation of Independent Colonies. Its high capacity for cargo, economical design, and powerful armaments make it one of the safest and fastest ways of moving cargo from on island to the next. 
The A14: Shoebill, as well as all A series ships, are the patented products of the Skyhome Free Aerowright Company.

Power Generation

The Shoebill is powered by a Generation 8: Windwalker, the most stable Elemental Engine of the last generation. Capable of traveling 2050 KM between charges, the engine substantially increases the range of the Shoebill, and reduces it recharge costs.

Propulsion

The Shoebill comes equip with both a set of Wind Drifter Wings and a set of Cloud Silk Sails. Both are made from Great Silk Worm silk, although the Wind Drifter Wings are enhanced with Magitech Circuits  circuits that allow them to channel energy directly from the Elemental Engine.

Weapons & Armament

The Skies are a dangerous place, and even a humble cargo ship needs some matter of protection. Armed with a pair of Buster B Iron Slugger heavy cannons, the Shoebill is more than capable of protecting itself in light to moderate skirmishes. For extended battles, the Shoebill relies on its impressive bulk to absorb damage while consistently pelting the enemy with lead. 
The Shoebill suffers in extended skirmishes with multiple vehicles and is not designed for warfare.
