---Narration---

1919 June 21, Around 10:00 a.m. on 21 June 1919, Commander of the Surrendered Remains of the German Naval Power, Reuter sent a flag signal ordering the fleet of 74 Ships of all different class of ship to stand by for the signal to scuttle, these ships under his command are ships destined to be seized and taken control of by Azur Lane as part of the war ending treaty to WWI! Having captured news that his fleet would be subject to this, he leads his ships today out under the cover idea of a training act, when in reality it was to commence the mass scuttling of 74 Iron Blood ships! During this time period in the world, only a total of 15 Azured Style/Living Humanized Ships existed, and Wisdom Cube tec was a relatively new and misunderstood power in the world.

Of the countries with these ships the Iron Blood/German Empire had but only 7, though two had been sunk at the battle of Jutland those ships being Lutzow, and Elbing, making the active total 5, one was SMS Kaiser, the flagship for the better part of the Iron Empires most well known navy piece, the High Sea's Fleet! A style of warship referred to today as a Dreadnought otherwise known at the time as a Battleship as they called them back then. This ship was unlike any Azured ship before creation, and since after for a significant time as this ship was no Her, but instead a he, indeed, this ship was male in origin and as a result would be given a nick name by the German admiralty as the king of the ocean, this feet of a male warship was at the time not yet respected as special, nor known to be so rare of its kind till years beyond this fateful day.

Kaiser had a very intimate naval record. The number of battle's he performed in since his creation was staggering considering the relatively new nature of his self. He started life as simply just a drawling on a piece of paper, as the German admiralty before 1910 was looking desperately for a way to create the perfect Dreadnought, one not to expensive, or to large as to be a burden onto their at the time booming economy. Something that wouldn't put a dent in the admiralty's budget, but still deadly enough to make Britain stammer into fear at the mere sight of the ship in question. The best minds in the ship design industry all sat down and came up with the design of the Kaiser Class of battleship. Before Kaiser was built, the strongest Dreadnought was HMS Dreadnought herself who was constantly in dry dock being refitted, updated, and fitted with the newest innovations to the naval industry.

Kaiser was extremely special. Being one of the first warships to be fitted inside and out, with a new armor compound, lighter, and stronger then Harvey or Nickle based steel. a new composite steel compound called Krupp cemented armor Otherwise known as KCA Generation 1.0 This compound was beyond just tough as steel, it was lighter significantly then normal steel, and arguably 3 times as strong in some cases as any form of steel produced prior to it's creation. Kaiser would later be built, having 350mm of belt armor, 400mm coning tower armor, and 300mm of top, and side armor on the turrets. Mixed with a set of 5 twin barrel 305mm main batteries/Cannons, 14 150mm Casemate cannons along with a set of 12 8.8mm casemates and deck mounted guns designed for both anti ship, and anti Scout plane actions, lastly, Kaiser had 5 500mm underwater torpedo tubes, two on both sides of the ship's belt, and one in the bow; of the vessel. At the time of Kaiser's creation, he was amongst the fastest Dreadnought at sea, clocking at a top speed of 23.4 knots. Kaiser would then be azured with a wisdom cube a month prior to the battle of Jutland, after the Admiralty had seen the potential of Azuring, and of the SMS Kaiser.
