Hullness
The word hullness is a terranization created by analogy from the word skyness and means a kind of jaibu which relies upon titancraft to remain aloft rather than heritage skycraft. A hullness relies upon one or more of the following for lift: aeolian vapor, ziffler foils, or a coelodermic volitundum. Hullnesses are more costly than jaibus but also capable of much greater size, more reliability, more comfort for the occupants, and increased general safety from the ravages of nature.
In the past thirty years (ca 2715 to 2745), jaibus using the hulls of salvaged titancraft vessels have greatly improved the size and comfort of living quarters for residents. The name hullness is a play on the word skyness and refers to the resemblance between the great flying islands of Medibgö and elsewhere and the modern flying platforms salvaged from titancraft hulls. A hullness tends towards a vertical layout. Yogona is a fine example of a hullness of greater size and serves as a small emporium of skycraft and skyfaring merchants between the Memnosian Sea and the Pallathantic Sea. In the 2740's, the Aurician Empire and Jhaadi Zhumzur have begun using hullnesses as support bases for their respective skyforces. Aurice first produced the hullness called Eblune in 2742.
Like jaibus, hullnesses rely upon the use of harrouetsas and strindozachers to avert the destructive force of lightning.
