skyships
Aerial sailing craft
Skyships are fictional airborne vessels—ships that sail through the sky rather than water.
The word appears in fantasy and steampunk fiction, video games, and tabletop RPGs, typically describing large craft kept aloft by magic, lighter-than-air gases, or fantastical technology: The skyships docked at the floating harbor.
Unlike airships, which exist in reality, skyships belong entirely to imaginative worlds.
