Icecrown Duel in the Sky — *The Skybreaker* in a gunnery duel with *Orgrim's Hammer*.

The Skybreaker is an Alliance gunship currently patrolling above Icecrown and serving as the mobile base of operations for the Alliance forces in the area.

Background

A marvelous feat of gnomish and dwarven engineering, The Skybreaker is driven by numerous powerful propeller engines, armed with over twenty broadside cannons, defended by large battery guns in the front and rear, and crewed by a full complement of 7th Legion marines ready to fight at a moment's notice. A massive bomb resides in the lowest deck. A steel eagle head on the bow cuts through the sky as the vessel flies above the walls of the Lich King's fortress, providing valuable cover for Alliance forces on the glacier below. Numerous Alliance leaders, from the noble Vindicator Maraad to Thassarian, the first death knight to rejoin the Alliance, use The Skybreaker as a staging point for their forays deep into enemy territory. Under the able command of High Captain Justin Bartlett, The Skybreaker is the first line of attack for the Alliance war effort against the Lich King.

All is not quiet in the skies above Icecrown, however. The arrival of the Horde's new airship, Orgrim's Hammer, has sparked open hostilities. The two gunships often square off, focusing on the renewed hostilities between the factions instead of the threat of the Scourge. Only time will tell if the brave crew of The Skybreaker can stand up to the Horde's newest behemoth in addition to the ravenous Undead of the Lich King's Scourge.

Crew

Notes

Though there isn't a direct flightpath to the ship, it is possible to get a ride from Dalaran to The Skybreaker by speaking with Officer Van Rossum at Krasus' Landing.
