TRANSCRIPT:
The Great War of 1917 marked the beginning of a half-century-long conflict that spawned desperate and devastating tactics that left the world in ruins. With the ecosystem in a state of decay, dust storms and a cataclysmic climate upheaval ravaged the planet and survival took precedence over conquest.

Disease and famine decimated the population, earning the nickname 'The Red Death.' Civilization is all but a memory and the survivors reverted to a pre-industrial tribal society. Then came the Age of Dust as super-storms swept through the land, but the human population eventually recovered and they rediscover, relearn, and rebuild industrial society.

During this time, a tinker, Gabriel, constructed the first airship since the Great War, almost two centuries past. He became a legendary airship engineer and captain, but his journey would end in Tura where he found the city in ruins with bloodthirsty pirates waiting in ambush. Though Gabriel and the Icarus were never seen again, his legacy gave rise to the Age of Air.

Gabriel's work was reverse-engineered into a new breed of airships that reshaped the political and economic landscape. Now, 87 years after the Flight of The Icarus, the skies are dominated by six major factions, each with their own agenda and fleet of powerful airships.

Have fun!
