The Prydwen

The Prydwen is a modified and heavily armored Brotherhood of Steel airship that flies throughout the skies of the Commonwealth and Boston.

Background
The Prydwen, was constructed at Adams Air Force Base over a period of eight years, taking four to collect the materials necessary to build the airship, and another four to actually construct it. The airship is stated by Lancer Captain Kells to way in at 40,000 tonnes. Its nuclear core was evidently taken from Rivet City, as its previous core was not sufficient to power all of its systems efficiently.

The airship is filled with hydrogen, as stated during the quest Airship Down. 4 pylons attatched the to ship's flight deck carry a single jet engine each, being reponsible for controlling the Prydwen's altitude and help to keep the ship aloft. There are 4 docking hooks for Brotherhood modified VB-02 Vertibird gunships attatched to the airship's hull, Vertibirds being accessible via the flight deck.

Prydwen's crew includes:
 * Elder Maxson

Appearances
The Prydwen appears only in Fallout 4. It will show up right after the main quest Reunions is finished, flying in over the western mountain range of the map and making its way across the Commonwealth, until it finally anchors above the Boston airport. After this, the Sole Survivor can visit it during the Brotherhood of Steel quest Shadow of Steel offered by Paladin Danse.

Behind the scenes
Prydwen (Middle Welsh- "handsome") is the name of King Arthur's ship in the native Welsh literature concerning the legendary character. Arthur and his men board it to sail to the Otherworldly fortress of Annwfn in the somewhat cryptic poem Preiddeu Annwfn, as well as when they sail to and from Ireland in the prose text Culhwch ac Olwen, in an attempt to gain a magical cauldron. It is not explicitly named in any other native Arthurian tale or poem, and in the Anglo-Norman literature that drew from it Arthur does not appear to have a comparable vessel.
