  • The current Castle Wulfenbach is no more a castle than a Boeing 747 is the Taj Mahal. In fact, the Castle Wulfenbach is the [ great-grandpappy] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] of all airships. The Baron himself designed it following the Other War and uses it to cruise around Europa enforcing his despotic will. Captain Patel is the [ master] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] of the operational side of the Castle-as-ship, subordinate only to the Baron and his heir. The airship's crew functions separately from the bureaucratic and scientific staffs of Castle-as-capital, which are managed by Boris Dolokhov. Image:CastleWulfenbach.png "Huge" doesn't remotely begin to do Castle Wulfenbach justice. The Castle's support vessels are "huge"; The Castle itself is so incredibly far [ beyond] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] "huge" that the word does not even provide an approximation of its size. Castle Wulfenbach is quite slow, even slower than a typical airship. The Castle never lands; it floats perpetually and balefully above Europa, depending on its flotilla of support vessels to ferry people and things back and forth to the ground; the support ships are also used to "quickly" deploy troops (Gil's flyer is faster still). Though ponderous, the Castle has [ gun turrets] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] that are as large as some whole airships. Rebels do not want to mess with Castle Wulfenbach. Incidentally, the [ face] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] of Castle Wulfenbach (seen on the [ nose] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] of the airship) is rather more stern, though less mad, than the [ face] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] of Castle Heterodyne.
