It has been over 3 years since almost all of the Sirens have been either eliminated or driven away from Earth in 1948, with pockets of Siren resistance and a few strongholds and research facilities still standing in small corners of the world...
Many of the other Siren's facilities were left either abandoned, in ruin, or were reused with a different purpose by several factions, especially the Big Four, known as Eagle Union, Royal Navy (officially known as the United Kingdom), Sakura Empire, and Iron Blood, all who now have the will to set aside their bitter differences caused by their lust for power and embittered disagreements, and develop what little Siren technologies and hypersonic weapon technologies they have left, to use it as their own and turn the tide against their common enemy that threatens to tear the homeland and the planet asunder.
As part of the celebration in their continued victory against the Sirens, and as an establishment to maintain world peace, a ballroom party is being held on the night of July 11th, 1951.
The commander, who was the ballroom's special guest of honor, and who had been leading the Azur Lane alliance since 1941 during the height of tensions and rivalry, and formerly an Eagle Union naval aviator and Air Force fighter pilot, was running late and tried to make up lost time.
But what happened on that fateful night, changed his life forever...
