- Extreme Capacity: Inside the ship there are huge cargo spaces and rooms, which can be designed according to the way of use. These can be cargo holds, accommodations, ball rooms, market places, etc. Not to mention the large surface deck.
- Defences: The ship is permanently protected by high-efficiency shields, both from the enemy and from environmental influences. The shields are always active when you are not waiting in the harbour.
- Difficult Manoeuvrability: The Flying Market is not very fast due to its large size and extremely large weight, and it is also difficult to manoeuvre them.
- Large Target: Netherworld is full of more dangerous places, effects, creatures, and the Flying Market is big enough to be seen from afar, so pirates, robbers, and hostile life forms can easily spot it.
- Lack of Armament: They may have well-protected shields, but they don’t protect them with too many weapons, so they can’t be used as an attacking vehicle. E-Webs are also serving more of a defence than attacking goals.
The Netherworld is notoriously made up of different islands, between which it may not be easy and safe to cross. If someone wants to trade, they have to decide whether to do it on the ground, as a caravan, or looking for another way. It may be possible to shorten the roads on the ground in different ways, but they are also very dangerous with the right connection and escort; not to mention that it can be slow. Therefore, an alternative solution was needed.
Valkyrja is known as a major merchant species in Netherworld and is also affiliated with Greystone Mercantile, who are also major merchants. Thanks to this connection, the idea of creating merchant vehicles that could be used for more than one thing quickly emerged. Valkyrja has a lot of great professionals, so it wasn't hard to create the Flying Markets.
The vehicle can be used in a myriad of ways, but in 95-99% of the cases they are used for trade, product and passenger transportation. On most ships, anyone can also trade between the two destinations in the market on them. All Flying Markets are equipped with powerful shields to keep both passengers and cargo safe. The vehicle is also equipped with a myriad of security systems to help the enemy be spotted and avoided sooner because they are not equipped with too many weapons.
Thanks to these vehicles to the Flying Markets, Greystone Mercantile and the Valkyrja supervise most of the air commerce in the Netherworld.
