USN Montana

This ship was created in the shard world of Earth, and by means unknown found its way into Myth.

Out of all the factions that could have gotten their hands on this, of course somehow the orc's that comprise the grommish orcish tribes did. Thru means not fully understood, and not even hypothesied about this weapon system was a game changer in the world of Myth. Its cannons are 16 in diametere, using advanced metal alloys that havent been invented on Myth yet. In addition, it appears that it was taken while the vechile was fully armed, fueled, and ready for action. Now for the really bad parts, the weapon would be taken to another world and should be of no use to the natives, theyll have to develop that etchnology before they can use it... once againt this was proven wrong. No oneis sure how they figured it out or what methods were used but the Orc tribes have been able to both drive the ship correctly around, after a slow learning curve, and of course worse yet have figured out how to manipulate and fire the gun systems on board. This is of course equal parts amazing and terrifing in the same breath.

Most of the Airships in Myth do not have have heavy cannons, and armor. Many have some magical systems, or sub-systems.  However there are a few that do and these revolutionary vechiles were blastd out of the sky before they could even get within range of the Montana. The engagement range for that attack was about 41,622 yd / 20 kilomters away.

Due to the warship originiating on the fallen shard world of Earth, it is magic affinite and even slightly impeeds all but he highest level of magic users from casting spells on or near it. By a process not fully enterstood, even tot he orcs the ship has a magic impeadment zone of -9 levels shipside, and every 100 feet past that the magic impeadment area values drops by two, untill ti reaches 0 at roughly 1000 feetaway from the ship. Incoming spells are typicvally unable to strike the ship, let alone even fly through the air due to this magical impeadment zone, due to Myth's creature's high relaince on magic it has made this warship even more of a threat. Stolen into a land where it doesnt belong, and the wolrd itsefl roils at the ships prescence due to the magic impeadment area, the places the ship travels can be seen to have lost some magical affinity, temporaryliy at least. This forces the orcs to keep this monster away from their nations, citiies, and constantly in motions so it doesnt affect there countries.
