Broadhead

Broadheads are a class of aerostat developed during the Last War. They are large and heavily armed and armored, made possible by the development of low pressure buoyancy. Most are primarily or even exclusively equipped with heavy guns, requiring a complement of smaller aerostats to defend them. Towards the end of the last war, many Nhantlongs carried flights of autogyros for defense and close air support.   The development of Broadheads was a significant part of a broader shift away from a decisive battle doctrine and towards using aerial fleets for blockade and air support.
