Gunship

The gunship is a form of transport in Columbia. Unlike the larger Zeppelins, gunships are small skiffs that fly using unknown technology. They are exceptionally mobile and nimble compared to other flying vehicles in Columbia. Both the Founders and the Vox Populi use gunships regularly. Through the cockpit's hazy glazed window a pilot can be seen, but not interacted with. Since one gunship is seen using an automatic guidance/piloting system, it is unclear if gunship pilots are people, automated or both.

Appearance
Gunships resemble shallow-bottomed barges with a small cabin in the front and an open deck. Many gunships have a pair of cargo hooks which can be used to board them. Some gunships, particularly those used by Columbia's police, have an automated turret built into the deck. Vox Populi gunships are swathed in heavy red cloth drapes.

Gameplay
Except for those sporting rocket tubes (which can be targetted to destory the gunship) gunships cannot be directly damaged by Booker. Most often gunships act as a delivery system for other enemies or as high ground for troops. A great many gunships have cargo hooks or fly under skyrails, allowing Booker to board them.
