The FA-2289 Cloudship is a specialized aerial vessel with several features specifically designed for Agency usage. Developed by the Sault Labs research and development group. The ship is made of a new metal/fabric allow that can be inflated with a hydrogen and helium gas blend to achieve lift. This new metallic polymer is also damage resistant and can withstand impacts from many modern ordinances. Tests show that blasts up to 3 megatons will not cause any damage to the material. This provides an unprecedented level of protection for the gas filled vessel.

=== Appearance ===
The FA-2289 looks much like a traditional helium gas blimp, but has been upgraded with several visual features. The hull of the ship is covered with polished, reactive mirrors that break up its lines and when viewed from below is practically invisible. Above the reactive mirrors, is the main hull body of titanium and mithril alloy. The hull is painted white across the entire ship.

The FA-2289 is enormous, and end to end is about six football fields. When the smoke/cloud machines are running at full capacity, the ship has been said to appear like a storm forming in the distance. Hence its nickname, '''Thunderhead'''.

The hull body is modular with sections connected via covered walkways that can be pressurized when at extreme altitudes. These walkways are also lined with specialized components to attach a variety of additional tools and support systems. Each modular compartment functions on it's own power source and is linked to a specified solar panel for renewable power. All vital life systems are module specific and can be individually jettisoned should the module compromise the rest of the ship.

These module are also oval shaped and painted white. From the exterior and below, these module appear to be clouds adding to the visual stealth capabilities of the ship. FA-2289's overall appearance is of a large cloud in the sky.
