Tidal Flow Carrier Battlegroup

Command the Depths with the Tidal Flow Battlegroup! 🌊⚓

Take command of the Arc Nebula Vanguard’s elite Tidal Flow Carrier Battlegroup, led by the steadfast Admiral Marlin Wavecrest, the Tidal Warden. Centered around the formidable Bowmouth Carrier Tidal Fury, this fleet is a masterclass in adaptability and overwhelming coordination. From its strike craft dominance to its resilient defensive capabilities, the Tidal Flow Battlegroup ensures victory flows like the unyielding tides.

Fleet Composition & Tactical Overview

The Tidal Anchor

At the core of this battlegroup is Admiral Wavecrest’s Bowmouth Carrier, the Tidal Fury. With its unmatched launch capacity, it deploys waves of bombers, fighters, and interceptors, while supporting the fleet with its Hospital Bay and advanced defenses. Backed by a Stingray Battleship and a Pelagic Light Cruiser, this central force combines durability and devastating firepower.

Rolling Currents

Two Mobula Light Carriers act as auxiliary hubs, enhancing the fleet’s strike craft deployment. Paired with a Devilray Heavy Destroyer and Ribbontail Destroyers, these versatile ships reinforce the battlegroup’s defensive lines while delivering precision strikes.

Tidal Surge

The fleet’s escorts—Halavi Frigates and Skate Corvettes—form a swift and reliable perimeter, intercepting threats and shielding the fleet’s capital ships. Together, they ensure the battlegroup flows seamlessly across the battlefield, controlling the tides of battle with precision and unity.
