A female and male Aeronaut player
Aeronauts are one of the three playable classes in Remnants of Skystone. Aeronauts use their steam-powered jetpacks to fly around maps, and attack enemies with long-ranged Ether-infused steam blasts from their Blaster Cuffs, which dissipate after hitting an enemy.
History[]
Aeronauts built Nidaria[1] in 5 years, and launched it in 31 AH.[2]
Aeronauts declared war on the Crags living on Grittop Mountain "a year after the Etherite Rush started." They wanted this area for the unusually high amounts of Etherite located there.[3]
In 15 AH, the leader of Aeronauts, Admiral Chivington signed the Ferric Removal Act. It started a campaign against the Ferric tribes that inhabited the lush foothills of the Cedervale Mountains.[4]
Culture[]
Aeronauts believe that the Skystone fell from the sky[5] (whereas Ferrics hold that the Skystone is the Great Ferron's egg and Crags believe that it was the second moon that was pulled from the sky).
Aeronauts "are remnants of the Industrialist society (back when they were still living on the ground), so their specialty is steam-powered contraptions."[6] Prior to using 
Brass and 
Spores, Aeronauts' currency was the Shiner.[7]
Aeronaut NPCs typically wear Steampunk-esque clothing.
In-game information[]
Flight[]

Aeronauts are the only class able to fly and hover in all areas except through steam and Haze.
Players can fly by pressing the Jump button twice, and using the arrow keys to navigate. Pressing and holding the UP button or tapping the DOWN button allows an upwards boost to higher altitudes. DOWN is more useful for controlled hovering while aiming as UP also aims upwards. The flight technique is occasionally difficult to control vertically.
Ranged Shot[]

The Aeronaut is the only class that has a truly ranged attack. While Crags have some range with their flails, Aeronauts can reach much further with projectile attacks.
The Aeronaut's ranged attack damage is reduced discretely while it flies through the air. At the closest range, the shot can deal damage equal to the Aeronaut's attack value, but at the longest range possible, the attack will only deal damage to about 50% of the character's attack statistic. Its range is slightly smaller than the player's viewable space horizontally, and slightly longer vertically.
This damage reduction is not applied in Co-op Trailblazing; all shots are counted as dealing 'one hit' worth of damage.
Aeronauts are the only class that cannot attack downwards, unlike the Ferric and Crag classes.
Nidarian Guard Attacks[]
Nidarian Guard players have extra attacks.
Charged Shot[]
This attack can be charged by holding the Down key and the Attack / Menu Action / Town Action Key. Once the shot is charged, the player will be surrounded by a green aura. The damage dealt is twice the Skill stat, and in normal gameplay will penetrate through multiple enemies (not in co-op). This attack dissipates at the edge of the screen, and will deal two less damage for every enemy it passes through.
Steamthrower[]
The Steamthrower is a short-range attack that rapidly drains the skill bar, but fires continuously and is able to penetrate through all enemies in its range. This is performed by pressing and holding the Attack / Menu Action / Town Action key. While firing, players can move and aim in different directions, and jump.
The Steamthrower always deals damage equal to the Skill stat out to its range limit.
The Steamthrower also seems to activate if an Aeronaut takes damage whilst firing, though this could be a glitch.
