Linthan Air Destroyer Nitra* , the armoured aerial cruiser shot down by the Queen's Lance during the Battle of Oaken Mill.

Typical of Leviship designs created under the "like for like" principle of the Basram code of chivalry, Nitra was exclusively designed to fight other Leviships, and featured no weapons on her underside. Unlike the Aludran philosophy which emphasised speed and manoeuvrability, harking back to the days of broadside Leviships where aiming one entire side of the ship was the main goal, Nitra was designed primarily as a stable firing platform for heavy guns. She used continuous heaters running her entire length and props run directly off her boilers rather than the gas engines used by Etrusean hybrid Leviships or diesels used by Aludra.

*Eye-tra in Linth, but the Aludran spelling is always used in modern times since Linth is a dead language.
