The Guild of Prevanian Airship Manufacturers represents the interests of Prevanian airship producers. Airship manufacturing in Prevania has a long and distinguished heritage and we pride ourselves on our exceptional safety record, in addition to our many size, speed and endurance records. Being a member of the Guild of Prevanian Airship Manufacturers, a company must demonstrate its willingness to abide by our ethos of excellence. This means that we can guarantee that all Guild airships will be built to the highest standards, with the best materials, at the lowest possible cost. As such, we are proud to place before you today our official storefront.
Purchases
Should you be desirous of a purchase, please sent a telegram or letter to the Guild detailing which airship(s) you would like manufactured. Upon receipt of your order, we will confirm that your order is possible. Following the receipt of the funds, we will lay the keel of your airship as soon as possible.
Post-Sale Maintenance Programme
The Guild now offers the Post-Sale Maintenance Programme (PSMP). Should you choose to purchase this, Guild mechanics, engineers and experts will maintain your aerofleet. This will take the risk of managing an aerofleet off your hands, allowing you to concentrate on your core objectives. The PSMP covers a set number of hours: airships can operate beyond these times, but, being older, maintenance costs will increase.
Military airships - 45 000 hours - 250% of the build cost
Civilian airships - 40 000 hours - 100% of the build cost
Civilian airships - 80 000 hours - 250% of the build cost
Civilian airships - 120 000 hours - 400% of the build cost
Please note, the PSMP does not cover damage caused by war or acts of the Gods: these will cost extra to repair. All prices open to negotiation.

Capital Airships
Machai Class Aerobattleship (2011) - US$ 280 000 000
Named after the daemons of battle and combat, the Machai Class Aerobattleship is designed for counter-insurgency operations, being highly manoeuvrable and armoured. It is a cheap yet effective platform to provide aerial fire support and reconnaissance.
Lelantos Class Aerocarrier (2009) - US$ 2 400 000 000
The Lelantos Class Aerocarrier replaces older, outdated large aerocarriers in Prevanian service. The Class makes use of twenty-first century technology to allow it to carry modern aircraft and remain competitive in the face of stern challenges.
Ananke Class Aerobattlecruiser (2007) - US$ 2 800 000 000
The Ananke Class Aerobattlecruiser is designed to combat modern airships, having a large arsenal and very comprehensive ECM suite. It is intended for large fleet actions, where it can enhance the effectiveness of the entire airfleet. It is also designed to be able to act as a flag airship.
Aegaeon Class Aerocruiser (2001) - US$ 1 200 000 000
The Aegaeon Class Aerocruiser, the lead airship of which was commissioned in 2001, is designed for long-range independent operations, with an emphasis on anti-ship capabilities. It is a world-leader in trade defense and disruption, making it ideal for protecting your logistics, whilst denying the enemy his own.
O Class Aerocarrier (1954) - US$ 1 200 000 000
The O Class Aerocarrier was designed for Morrdh by the Guild of Prevanian Airship Manufacturers, though also adopted by the Air Fleet. Operating up to 24 high-performance propeller aeroplanes, this heavy and unwieldy airship was necessarily amongst the fastest military airships in existence.
L Class Aerobattlecruiser (1937) - US$ 172 000 000
By the early 1930s, the D and F Classes were beginning to become obsolete, so a programme was initiated to design replacements for these: namely an aerodreadnought and an aerobattlecruiser. The L Class was the aerobattlecruiser; designed for fighting other airships, it was fast, manoeuvrable and heavily armed. However, it was lightly armoured and had a relatively small fuel capacity, resulting in a short range.
K Class Aerodreadnought (1936) - US$ 130 000 000
By the early 1930s, the D and F Classes were beginning to become obsolete, so a programme was initiated to design replacements for these: namely an aerodreadnought and an aerobattlecruiser. The K Class was designed for major fleet operations, with emphasis on the air-to-ground role. It proved to be very much more successful than the D Class it replaced, having a vastly higher speed and reliability. It was also far more manoeuvrable, having large control surfaces. As a result of this, the weapons payload was reduced, though more powerful weaponry meant that this did not hinder the K Class’ performance.
J Class Aerocruiser (1934) - US$ 60 000 000
Designed to improve the Airfleet’s naval combat and anti-aeroplane abilities, the J Class was a highly successful design, filling a niche between the smaller escort vessels and the larger capital ships. As an aerocruiser, it was optimised for long-range independent operations. It was also the first class of Prevanian airships to incorporate radar and mechanical computers for fire control.
F Class Aerobattlecruiser (1926) (image) - US$ 150 000 000
The first being launched in 1926, the F Class learnt from the mistakes of the D Class to produce a successful, enduring and popular design.
D Class Aerodreadnought (1922) (image) - US$ 120 000 000
Created mainly as a political symbol of Prevanian airship superiority, the D Class was the largest airship of its day.
Escort Airships
Soter Class Aerofrigate (2007) - US$ 360 000 000
The Soter Class Aerofrigate is designed for fleet actions, protecting larger airships from aerial threats. Specifically, it is intended to escort aerocruisers and aerobattlecruisers, with high speed and munitions capacity.
Sarpedon Class Aerofrigate (2006) - US$ 620 000 000
The Sarpedon Class Aerofrigate is designed for fleet actions, protecting larger airships from aerial threats. Specifically, it is intended to escort the Lelantos Class Aerocarrier, with high altitude and high speed.
Scylla Class Aerocorvette (2002) - US$ 280 000 000
Launched in 2002, the Scylla Class Aerocorvette represents the very best in anti-submarine warfare, thoroughly equipped to deal with all sub-surface threats.
I Class Aerofrigate (1931) - US$ 30 000 000
Designed in the late 1920s as a response to the ever increasing threat of aeroplanes, the I Class was an emergency measure designed to strengthen the anti-aircraft defences of the Airfleet. Despite this, the I Class was a long-lived design, with many upgrades allowing it to remain in service for many decades.
G Class Aerodestroyer (1926) (image) - US$ 40 000 000
Designed in the early 1920s, the G Class, less prestigious than the great capital airships, was beset with problems. Budgetary concerns proved the worst, but these were resolved by the mid 1920s, which allowed the launch of G1 in December 1926. Produced in large numbers, the G Class was functional and enduring. However, it always suffered from many faults due to the budgetary restraints.
E Class Blimp (1923) (image) - US$ 25 000 000
Designed for reconnaissance duties, the E Class was a well-liked and enduring design.
Reconnaissance Airships
Orithyia Class Mesolite (2008) - US$ 170 000 000
First launched in 2008, the Orithyia Class represents the very best in radar-equipped mesolites (very high altitude airships). Indeed, so effective has it been that the Prevanian Combined Fleets have placed orders for very many. Its range and resolution is state-of-the-art.
Aeolis Class Mesolite (2004) - US$ 40 000 000
An excellent design, the Aeolis is a small yet capable unmanned mesolite able to provide effective intelligence.
H Class Aerocarrier (1928) (image) - US$ 90 000 000
Very much a prototype class, designed to demonstrate the viability of Aerocarriers, the H1 and H2 proved so successful in the fleet scouting role that the class was extended by another 8.
Support Airships
Polemarchus Class Aeroplane Refueller Airship (2010) - US$ 300 000 000
Designed in 2010 to meet a request from The United Kingdom of Raludcia, the Polemarchus is a medium sized airship designed to meet the needs of aerial refuelling of aeroplanes or airships.
