In-Game Description[edit | edit source]

On the ancient shores of China's Bohai Sea, a place witnessed the glory and downfall of the Beiyang fleet. It was once called Weihaiwei, a stronghold of the maritime border that resisted many foreign invaders. But its destiny was altered when it was seized by Britain, who coveted its strategic location, and then by Japan, who conquered it with brute force. Now renamed as Ikaiei, the territory serves as a naval base for the Japanese, looming over the whole of Shandong, the birthplace and final resting place of Confucius and Mencius. The harbor still holds a host of iron vessels, but they inspire no pride in anyone, for they are not their guardians, but a symbol of fallen splendor.
