	Ethersuits and Ethernauts
		In late 1885, the Royal Navy was given control of all aerial flyers and etherships in Britain's service, due in part to the Army's bungled handling of these new types of vessels in both the War of the Parhooni Succession and in the Omdurman Campaign.
		The appearance of an RNAS officer and a rating in an ethersuit on an 1888 Royal Navy recruitment poster soon became one of the most inspiring images for those wishing to travel through the ether and variations of this poster have been used ever since.
		Today, Navy officers in the RNAS are known within the service as Oak and Thistle men, and crewmen on British Ether Dreadnoughts will often refer to going outside in a ethersuit as popping round for a pint.
