The Oktober was a tanker ship featured in Crimson Skies. It was a USSR cargo ship that was traveling to Boeing Field[1] when it was intercepted by the Fortune Hunters. Prior to their interception of the Oktober, the Fortune Hunters had shot up Boeing Field, destroyed their fuel tanks and stolen a prototype Hughes Bloodhawk.[2] However, their Zeppelin Pandora had not been refuelled for several months and was in desperate need of more fuel to keep flying.[3]

The Oktober was bound for Boeing Field to replenish their fuel supplies when it was spotted by the Pandora and Fortune Hunters as a target to get free fuel. Destroying the lighthouse power generator around some dangerous rocks and lighting a decoy beacon, the Oktober was run around, becoming a stationary target which the Pandora could position over and loot for fuel. Some of the crew attempted to get away with some valuables, but were stopped by Nathan Zachary.[3]

Support for the Oktober came in the form of the nearby CCCP zeppelin Vostok who launched its squadrons of Hughes P21-J Devastators to chase away the pirates. Unfortunately, the Fortune Hunters proved to be too skilled and shot down the Devastators, with the Pandora finishing its loading of fuel. The Fortune Hunters destroyed some of the Vostok's engines before setting alight the Oktober, resulting in the Pandora being faster than the Vostok and the Russian zeppelin staying back to rescue the crew of the Oktober from the fire.[3]
