The Spotted Custard was commissioned by Lord Akeldama and gifted to his adopted daughter, Rue. It is the peak of engineering technology for its time: lighter, better, faster, and more deadly than even the ships in Her Majesty's float force. It is capable of operating both on helium and hot air. Most of the boilers and steam engine controls were designed by Quesnel Lefoux. There is a nice-looking mess and galley which include the latest in refrigeration boxes and every possible pot and pan to crumpet rings.

  • The Spotted Custard was commissioned by Lord Akeldama and gifted to his adopted daughter, Rue. It is the peak of engineering technology for its time: lighter, better, faster, and more deadly than even the ships in Her Majesty's float force. It is capable of operating both on helium and hot air. Most of the boilers and steam engine controls were designed by Quesnel Lefoux. The exterior of the ship is large, with a gondola the size of Lord Akeldama's house, and is made of a light, flexible wood from China (most likely bamboo). Its balloon is red with black spots. The gondola's trim, railings, and other details are painted black. The navigation centre on the poop deck is designed to look like an old-fashioned ship's helm, but it's just an aesthetic. A large parasol was installed over the navigator's station that matches the paint of the balloon. The balloon could be inflated an deflated by either helium, hot air, or both depending on resources. A paddle propeller below aft does most of the steering and propulsion with a single mainsail off the stern for use in high-floating in the aether currents. The ship includes crew quarters, officer's quarters, lavish captain's chambers, a mess, a galley with refrigeration boxes and every kind of pot and pan, a stateroom, a smoking room, a sickbay/laboratory, and guest berths. The hold is at the fore of the ship, and a massive engineering chamber (with coal bunkers, boilers, and tea kettle shaped steam engines) is at the aft. There is a nice-looking mess and galley which include the latest in refrigeration boxes and every possible pot and pan to crumpet rings.
