Ground-effect craft should fit well into Steampunk Star Wars. Assuming you don’t have to be going 240 miles per hour to have them work…

While working as a student at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing [no longer in existence], I’d have weekly chats with my supervisor, a physicist. Once we got talking about really big bombs, and [this is probably bunk] that the reason the Soviets eased back on really big hydrogen bombs, was because they thought during some of their tests they had cracked the earth’s crust. Neato!
