Histofactoid: 1997--Awaiting the Blessings of Erde!

It's 1997 and Air Fleet Primus--after a major refitting and refurbishment by Air Fleet Maintenance--awaits a only a coating of Imperial Lilac, final detailing, and the traditional Blessings of Erde at a Frontenac International Aviation-Port Docking Tower. Air Fleet Primus (originally the Loki Class LZ-195 Pueblo National District) was constructed in 1952 at a cost of 53 million francs by Goodyear/Zeppelin of Moundbuilder National District and was initially conceived and utilized as the alliance air-born fleet operations headquarters during the Manchurian Peninsular Police War. Following the Revolution of '63, the dirigible was renamed F.S. Senator Floyd Barber by the Texists and crudely refitted with external hard-points for use in night raids against the Siamese Indolents; it was one of only seven capital ships (of an original fleet of 35) to survive that tragic conflict. In 1980 with the Re-attainmente it was selected as the Emperor's personal transport. Air Fleet Primus uses non-flammable field-spun energized helium for buoyancy]
