# Ship Version

After the start of the War of the Empires, many rumors were spokes, many legends were created and many inexplicable things happened to both sides of the war. One legend, in specific, talks about a giant large vessel identified as Anomaly by the Eagle, Revolution, Red and Monarch empires. Her existence is strange, her origin unknown... She has the power and appearance of a battleship, with no man guiding the ship. She fought for the four nations for some time, having a simple appearance of the hull painted with dark gray color while the light gray was used on the superstructure, but no one could deny the even stranger feature of the ship... She was becoming dust little by little and every hit she takes only makes the process faster. With no hope of keeping the ship for any longer, the three empires send her to face a whole fleet alone. She was never seen again since then... 

Many believe there's a link between this legend and another about a battleship named Death, one with holes all over the ship, sometimes going all the way through and her name written on the freeboard, though it's hard to see with human eyes. Not much is known about her, however, as it appears only in the dark nights when the moon is in a half or complete, accompanied by a thick green fog that with the moonlight creates what seems to be an aura around the ships. The radio would get interference and a statement would be repeated over it: "Davy Jones's locker is waiting for you". Look at the ship for long is a mistake, as the legends also say you will go insane if you do.  The ship named Flying Dutchmen is always around Death. Very few believe in this legend, but this group is only increasing as the number of ships that disappeared is rising.

The armaments of Death are unknown, but if the two legends are indeed linked and Death is Anomaly, the armaments should be three triple mounts of 40 cm guns, 10 twin mounts of 15 cm guns, 20 twin mounts of 10.5 cm guns, 10 quadruple amounts of 40 mm AA guns, 10 single mounts of 10 twin mounts of 20 mm AA guns and, lastly, 12.7 mm AA guns while the armor should be 307 mm thick on the belt, 495 mm thick on the turrets, 38 mm thick on the main deck and 152 mm thick on the secondary deck. Some people who believe in the link of the legends, say all of the weapons and the armor that were used once in favor of the four empires during this war were now used against them, as the ship seeks revenge for being sent alone to stand against the enemies, but also revenge for being sunk by the enemy ships.

# Human Version

In history, there's a peculiar thing about her, different from the ship version. Although she was Anomaly once and fought for the four empires, her way of seeking for revenge is different. She has no definitive form, she's just a shadow feminine figure in the fog, who shapes differently, according to the observant. She would become the very thing you love the most, luring you closer to be destroyed by her true lover, Flying Dutchmen. You won't be fooled, however, if you look in the corner of her eyes, which will cause you to see her on the original form and feelings of terror, fatigue and despair caused by a song that comes from nowhere and the tik tak of the clock that grows louder. If you try to attack her, however, she won't be damaged, she cannot be damaged, but luckily for the attacker, she will never attack, Flying Dutchmen will do that for her instead.

Anomaly's appearance was of a shipgirl, around 1.6 m tall, with a long hair that goes down halfway to her back with the original color of dark gray and it was accompanied by a pair of light gray eyes, wearing often a white admiral uniform together with a pair of white gloves and a black boots. She was fading away, like dust and that can be noticed in her hands that already disappeared but are probably always following her in the form of dust. Not much about her personality is known, however, as she barely spoke with other people and was only around others to be fed, as the absence of hands doesn't help her to eat... There's a sentence used by her before completing disappearing: "Time will catch me first".
