Premise
Even among the stars, a ship always needs more crew, and the great ship Far Flier needs more crew than most. You are unfortunate enough to have been enslaved into the Far Flier's crew, cruelly treated by the free crew and officers aboard the great spell jammer and subject to various harsh punishments.
It's increasingly clear that the only way you're going to get out of this alive is to escape but escape is not a particularly easy thing to do under these circumstances.
The Far Flier
It is unknown where the Far Flier hails from, but it's definitely a distant port. She is a massive vessel, far larger even than an elvish ironclad or a Mnemnosyian Carrier. The great ship is an arrowhead over a mile long, propelled through the deep skies by a vast collection of enchanted sails mounted on enormous masts and rigs in front of the ship, extending far larger than the vessel its self. Work on the masts is one of the worst jobs on the ship, with the constant danger of falling overboard, and is a regular place for disobedient slave crews.
The Far Flier has a mission though. It's not something they tell slaves about but the great vessel is definitely going somewhere with some purpose. In the massive cargo bays are vast amounts of specialist magical equipment, much of it seeming designed to work in various planet based environments such as the deep ocean.
