In-Game Description[edit | edit source]
Dairen, together with Ikaiei, is one of the two pillars on the Liaodong Bay, protecting the seas leading to Tianjin and northern China. Located on the southern tip of Liaodong peninsula, the city has immense strategic value, and it changed its name with every new occupation. Under the Qing it was Jinzhou, then, during the Opium War, it took the name Port Arthur from the British officer William Arthur. Following the occupation from the Russian Empire in 1895, the city was then renamed Dal'niy until finally Japan won it during the Russo-Japanese war. Since this rather tumultuous period ended, Dairen had a relative degree of peace but was still very important militarily as it held the headquarters of the Kwantung Army and the South Manchurian Railway Company.
