Description summary:
Description varies based on Smuggled Airs.
Smuggled Airs | Description |
---|---|
1-25 | Many […] dirigibles are home-made or stolen, and riddled with aftermarket modifications. Buttons do not do as […] labelled. Parts do not match. Safety measures are flagrantly ignored. Repairing […] is as much an act of understanding their crews as […] the engineering. |
