Kingdom of Lanier

The Kingdom of Lanier is a major power in the Airship Pirates world, as a merge between the Kingdom of Ardania, Kingdom of Iridium and the Kingdom of Lanier. Lanier is governed by a military dictatorship with the Lord Protector as the head of government, appointed by the Queen in roleplay. The Kingdom of Lanier controls 19 airspaces, mainly in the eastern section of the Airship Pirates world. Lanier had existed purely as the Royal Navy for the majority of its history, the military branch of the Kingdom of Lanier which held supreme control over the state and government. The Kingdom transformed into a democracy led by an elected civilian government following the conclusion of the Great War (also known as the Third War of Alliances) however fell back into an authoritarian dictatorship with the introduction of the Charter of 783AED, the current de-facto constitution of the Kingdom.

What is the Royal Navy?

The Royal Navy (other wise known as the Lanier Fleet) is the agency in charge of the Kingdom of Lanier's airship navy. They are led by a group of admirals(often referred to as the admirality) and have full loyalty to the Queen. It is mostly due to the Royal Navy( and their allies) that the old alliance won the war of acquisition against the Argentum Imperium and the Devorian-Loravian Republic.

The White Missile

At first, the Royal Navy kept all other rival nations in line due to there infamous white missile. The white missile was first tested on the town of Averdeen in modern day Republic of Averdeen. According to captain Bellamy, the Royal Navy thought that the town was deserted "but they weren't too careful". The missile obliterated the town and everybody in it. In 732 AED, the king of Lanier was finally able to make a deal with the Imperium Argentum. The Imperium would give some of their lands that the king wanted in exchange for a white missile. This was all done in high secrecy as if the barony( a very influential group of barons) learned about this, they would most likely start a revolution. The white missile was put on the H.M.S. Majestic pearl and was put under guard of two Razorclaws( an elite unit of soldiers loyal to the Lanier throne). The airship was sent to Verace but it was intercepted by Ballamy's Shadow of the Deep( the pirate flagship). The captain of the Majestic Pearl is on the verge of surrendering to Bellamy when a Razorclaw kills him and his crew. They then blow a hole in the right side of the vessel and come out with two monofighters(fighters with only one A.A.A. gun). The moonlighters blow a hole in the left side of the Shadow of the Deep and light it on fire. Bellamy leaves the bridge to extinguish the fire and leaves his first mate, Morton, in charge of the ship. Morton sends out one pirate monofighter( the other pirate monofighter is jammed) and tells the pilot to destroy the Razorclaws.
