Prologue, 1942
It was a calm, sunny morning of the coast of the Eastern Soviet Union coast. At Proshka Naval Yards, a Soviet Battleship is under construction. The Kronshtadt Battleship , this one named ТеньРазрушения, or Shadow of Destruction. The ship was armed with 12 inch guns capable of leveling a city in minutes. This was the first and last of its kind, to be armed with such prototype weaponry. A prototype, one that would decide the weapon’s fate. Its task was simple; travel over 1,000 miles to Southern Japan, and sink the Design A-150 Japanese prototype Battleship. Both are currently under construction, the Shadow of Destruction being nearer to completion.
The Captain, Admiral Mykell Pershaw, will not be receiving any intentional support from the Soviets or Americans, although he may link up with American ships to form a joint operation. He will operate with maximum crew possible. All were trained with these guns, and are ready to give their lives for their motherland. The fate of this project rests on the Admiral’s shoulder. Whether or not he will survive is yet to be known.
