Sunstrider-class Gunship

The Sunstrider-class Gunship is a gunship of the Golden Horde produced for, and operated by the Royal Thalassian Air Service. The class of gunship serves as a flying aircraft carrier for use in Parallel Azeroth. Only one is confirmed to exist: the High King Dath'remar Suntrider.

The gunship was designed during the war against the Iron Horde, but was never able to meet completion. After the war however, the design saw revision into what is now. Grand Magistrix Belatha Dawnsinger named the gunship after the Sunstrider dynasty.

Role
The Sunstrider-class were visioned as flagships for the skies, as mobile bases in theatres of war, and providing support to conventional aircraft. The aircraft on the gunship are intended for air superiority, preventing opposing aircraft from seizing the skies. The carrier is also capable of carrying gyrocopters for ground-support, logistics, and search and rescue operations.

Design
As a flying aircraft carrier, the Sunstrider-class is a radical redesign from older gunships.
