A jet ski is a mode of aquatic transportation used by the Fire Nation's domestic forces.

History Edit

When General Mung suspected the Jang Hui villagers of sabotage following the destruction of the Fire Nation army factory, he and his forces arrived at the village on jet skis to destroy it in retaliation. While disguised as the Painted Lady, Katara fought the soldiers and destroyed several of their jet skis during the battle, leaving only a few for the terrified assailants to escape on.^[1]

Jet skis were also used to patrol the access way to the Fire Nation Capital. When the invasion fleet was halted at the Great Gates of Azulon during the Day of Black Sun, soldiers on jet skis arrived to intercept and investigate the Water Tribe boats.^[2]

Design Edit

This steam-powered water skimmer is perfect for short-range water travel and warfare. Seating two soldiers, it travels at fast speeds and can reach a location via water quite rapidly.^[3] The device runs on steam power, as made evident by the boiler and fire box in the back. It has three blades on each side, hidden inside covered slots,^[4] and is a fearsome display of the Fire Nation's advanced war arsenal. The jet ski is adapted for quick strikes or sabotage against enemy vessels.

Trivia Edit

• Jet skis are similar to real-world coast guard vessels and patrol boats.
