    I admit I'm still not sure how much this actually affects the Garlean military's effectiveness. While the Gration is the second ship of the Agrius class, and the only other one we know of apart from the first, the Garlean Empire don't seem too overly concerned with having it stranded in Azys Lla.

    In fact, they've been busily ferrying personnel and materiel back and forth via regular airships, and have even started constructing a castrum on Azys Lla, some distance from the Gration's landing point. (Castrum Solus, which looks like the Garleans just set up around existing Azys Lla architecture.)

    And yet, building a ship that size cannot be cheap, even for the Empire. So why bother building it in the first place, if they're just going to turn it into a non-mobile outpost? Is the Gration (and the Agrius before it) basically a Death Star situation? IE a bunch of regular airships/Star Destroyers can be built more efficiently and effectively for the same cost, but its value lies in being a singular symbol of might.
