[edit] The Dream of Sweet Rain, Titan-Class Aerial Citadel:
- Speed: 10/20mph (5/10mph while shielded or in Siege Configuration)
- Maneuverability: -4S (Lore 5, Sail 5)
- Endurance: The Dream requires Repair 6 maintenance every week by a 100-member team. Each missed upkeep disables the following systems in order: auxiliary systems, siege mode, Energy Shield, Essence Cannons, Maneuvering Engines, and finally the AI. The Technical Corps generally meets these needs.
- Crew: 4,525 (-1 maneuverability for each interval by which crew is below 5,000, to a minimum skeleton crew of 2,000)
- Cargo: All of it.
- Armor: 60L/60B.
- Energy Shield: 100L/100B Hardness, Immune to Shaping. An attack that bypasses it collapses it without damaging the Dream, in which case the shield can't be raised again until the crew has performed Repair 5 maintenance.
- Health Levels: Note-no attack can deal more than (Essence) or (Artifact Rating) damage in a single blow unless it's big enough to affect the entire Titan. The Dream heals 1B/week, 1L/month, and 1A/year.
