Air

¯¯¯¯¯¯

In 1910 industrialization is at its height, and the world is a polluted wasteland of industrial plants. Wealthy industrialist J.P. Gorman launches the world's biggest airship, the Titan, to circle the globe continuously, far above the pollution of the factories. Anyone who's anyone wants to be aboard for her maiden voyage. The world's most affluent celebrities purchase staterooms so they can live in the clouds and breathe clean air again, far above the problems in society. Problems like racism and lynchings.

Trouble is, there's a clansman aboard.

After clansmen murder Jarvy's father, he promises his mother on her deathbed he'll leave Imperium and return to the safety of their homeland. There's only one way to get there ─ on the Titan.

But unknown on the day of the launch, an epidemic is sweeping the land and a clansman has brought it aboard ─ a plague spread by the very air. Jarvy's homeland has a cure for this plague, and the government of Imperium is determined to get their hands on it, especially with an upcoming presidential election in the works.

There's just one little catch...
