A class of small atmospheric vehicles utilising gravimetric propulsion, developed from the Red Bear LLC gravtank, to provide service or support to Imperial Navy Gravships.

Also used as transportation and liaison vehicles by the Palatini Corps in the Shirekeep Garrison.

A modified Pinnace operated by the Order of the Sentinels is used for the transportation of the Kaiser and other members of the Imperial Household to and from the Imperial Yacht as well as to destinations in and around Shirekeep. The Kaiser's transport, imaginatively nicknamed Mango One by the press, was adapted to incorporate space for 14 passengers alongside a bathroom with a standing shower, and a kitchenette.
