The Pegasus

The Pegasus is a 5-floor wooden skyship owned by the town of Ivanstead. It is a large livestock transport airship used primarily to deliver the famous Ivansteadian horses.

The Pegasus is pear-shaped, pointed towards the front of the ship. It has 5 floors and power is provided from 5 engines - four for lift and one for thrust. There are walking areas around each of the decks except for the bottom floor.

The upper-most floor of the Pegasus is a open flat wooden deck with a small ammuntion storage shed and six cannons. The cannons are there in case of dragon attack.

Fourth Floor
The officers' quarters, the doctor's office and pharmacy, cabins, bridge and officers' dinning area are situated on this floor.

Bridge
Large room in the fore of the ship with large windows allowing a clear view ahead. The bridge is fitted with five seats, the largest of which is in the middle of the rooms next to speaking tubes which allow the man on the bridge to communicate with the engine room.

Centre Floor - Stables
All the horses kept here as it is the most stable part of the ship and least likely to spook the horses. There is stabling for forty horses here. There is an elevator which comes up to the outer deck on this floor.

Second Floor - Bunks and Storage
A storage area occupies the aft-ward half of this floor, the other half consists of the lesser officers' dormitory and the airmen's bunks.

There are four smaller (5m diameter) engines that provide lift to the ship and one large engine (10m x 3m oval) that provides thrust for the ship.
