Glorious Dreadnought
auto
Type Warship
Location Albion

Glorious Dreadnoughts are Enduring Dreadnoughts crewed by New Sequencers, the zealous adherents of The Clockwork Sun of Albion, and imbued with a trace of that artificial Judgement's divine light.

Description[ | ]

Glorious Dreadnoughts fire 8 projectiles that do 2 damage per hit. Their turret fire sprays a large amount of projectiles that do 1 damage per hit. They are initially neutral to the player unless fired upon.

The higher The Strength of the Sun, the more frequently these locomotives can be encountered.

Shining, radiant, wrathful. It drifts in the sky like Ezekiel's chariot. Its golden plating is ruptured; the hymns of its crew silenced. Only the light remains: fading, but still burnished and brazen.

Destroy the remains
"Quench its light, captain," says a Subversive Stoker. "Before it draws others."
Smithereens
Your gunners don't need asking twice. There's a flurry of activity in the battery, and then the familiar roar of your guns as they unleash volley after volley into the radiant wreck. A final blinding illumination, like a glimpse of the Apocalypse, and then the heavens are dark once more.

Game note: This will reduce your Terror.


Loot the hold
Under the sun that never sets, the coffers of the imperial treasury fill with the currencies of Heaven.

Game note: Find random treasures.


Lead a search of the crew quarters
The Dreadnought is filled with light. You have to smear the lenses of your sky-suit with soot to block out most of the bleaching radiance.
Failed event Advanced alteration value probably needs examination.


Game note: You will gain unusual cargo, and set back the fortunes of Albion.

Faithful 'til the end
At the heart of the golden engine you discover a chapel. Freestanding panes of stained glass transform the dreadnought's stark light into washes of prismatic colour. Most were broken by the violence, but one remains intact. The corpses of the crew litter the brassy floor, their hands still clasped in prayer. One of your companions cries out suddenly that the dreadnought's light has made her blind. Back on your engine, you remove her goggles to discover that her eyes have turned to glass in their sockets.
Successful event
An unusual consignment
Discounting the damage done in the battle, the dreadnought is orderly and clean. The crew had little in the way of personal effects. Only in the captain's cabin do you find an unexpected lockbox. It contains a consignment of souls. Not common souls, either; they would blaze brightly if everything were not already flooded with brightness. According to a set of orders so terse as to be practically opaque, they were bound for Sky Barnet.
Ransack the boiler-room
They must have fuel. Your need is greater than theirs, now.
Failed event Advanced alteration value probably needs examination.

Advanced alteration value probably needs examination.


Game note: Gain up to 3 Fuel.

A casualty
In the boiler room, pipes rattle and squeal, firing jets of scalding steam at inopportune moments. The damage is extensive, and will soon be fatal. You and a crewman seize cases of fuel and lug them away. At that moment a pipe ruptures, and an explosion fells your assistant and sets the case he was carrying smouldering. You flee with your own prize before the explosion tears the dreadnought apart.
Successful event
A successful mission
An explosion in the belly of the dreadnought locates the boiler room for you. It smoulders at the end of a blistering corridor, thick with smoke. Leaving your crew behind, you plunge through the clouds and make for the furnace. Beside it, still untouched by flame, are steel boxes. You drag as many as you can back to your colleagues.
