Plot
The plot takes place 12 years before the War of Aquisition, when the Kingdom of Lanier is ruled by a corrupt king and an oppressive aristocracy. Those who dared to raise higher than the place they were born into often got engaged in airship piracy. Edward the Bloody was the most notorious and violent pirate at that time. After the Royal Navy corvette HMA Osprey, who was escorting a merchant vessel in the Ventis gulf, and the merchant ship it was escorting gets shot down, Robert Bellamy, a second class shipwright in the Royal Navy and Doctor Eckener are set to figure out the "mechanical failure" that caused her to sink. Bellamy is interested in presenting the idea of the submersible airship, something Admiral Chase doubt will work. When Bellamy later gets arrested, he decides to sign himself and fellow prisoners up for the crew on a pirate sloop attacking the prisoner transport.
