Can I play as a fantasy alien airship, magic is a thing right? but magic is well enough understood by them that its actually science.
[/quote]I am not the GM (that would be [@Lauder]) but from hearing this first I don't think it'd fit.
This is a steampunk game which means retro Victorian era aesthetics with themes on industrial revolution and so on.

I might have got you wrong but you want to play as an alien spaceship using Clarke's Third Law. That doesn't seem to mesh with the setting well. It'd fit more in perhaps other games. There's also that runnning a ship rather than a nation is rather close to classic RP rather than the style of NRPs.
These are only my two cents on the matter, though.
