A dirigible is a type of hot air balloon that is designed to resemble a football with fins in the back and a carriage attached to the balloon instead of the typical basket that hangs down. A mech is a battle platform that uses legs to move around. They usually have two legs in either humanoid style or chicken-walker style. I have played games that had four and six legged varieties. Some mechs have torsos that rotate allowing the pilot to travel in one direction but shoot in any direction. Think AT-AT (Huge four-legged jobs that were brought down by tow cables on planet Hoth) or AT-ST (Scout walker) from starwars.
