Arura Line: Island Hopper
The Arura Line: Island Hopper is the first in a line of ships from the defunct Sizu Shipwright Company. The flagship of the line, it is a well made and sturdy ship designed for speed, passenger transport, and a small amount of cargo hauling. The Sizu Company designed their ships with an eye towards customizability, and so the Aurora Line was built to be completely modular, with each component of the ship being able to be removed, replaced, and refitted, all without damaging the ships overall superstructure.
Due to the ships smaller stature, speed, and personalization potential, the Island Hopper has become a favorite for traveling mercenaries, bond merchants, and the odd smuggler.
The Island Hopper has a wide triangle sail, and a pair of fins that protrude from its port and starboard sides, allowing for sharp and gradual turns respectively. A series of holes pump air out of the ship's belly in flight, keeping it perfectly level in smooth skies. A large turbine is built into the back end of the ship, which serves as the ships main source of forward momentum.
Power Generation
The Island Hopper is powered by a Generation 8: Windwalker by default, although as the engine is designed to be removable with minimal effort, many captains replace the Windwalker with a more personalized, specialized engine.
Weapons & Armament
By default, the Island Hopper is armed with a pair of cannons on both their port and starboard, as well as a swivel gun on its stern.
