PmWiki | Waylight / Unity

The Unity is an extremely large airship that was built over the last few centuries. Built originally around an ancient salvaged power plant and foundry complex to allow it to travel by air and thereby kickstart new colonies and settlements, it survived the eventual fall into disrepair of its central core and is now entirely made out of post-Invasion technology, a fact which is in itself celebrated (The Unity Core was dropped during a storm, and has never been recovered).

While Unity has barely enough maneuverability to temporarily change its normally fixed course in the counterclockwise Stream in the middle bands, she can still perform her original function of lifting structures that could not otherwise be moved or allow the move of a large group of people.

Originally built by the Cascadians during early Empire times and added onto by most of the Slipstream's cantons during Imperial Subdivisions peace talks, today the Unity's function is that of a free port and neutral territory for diplomats to meet. A small amount of everything and everyone can be found here, with major lands maintaining bureaus and model workshops to show traders the best they have to offer. The Compact to end the Big War was brokered on the Unity, as have been most major treaties in the last century and a half; rarely, it is even possible to see Tsuxian envoys deigning to communicate with the "demons and mutants".
