Dragon Empery Territory
Ancient wisdom guides the fleet through modern storms of war.
Set in an alternate timeline of World War II, this faction consists of female moe anthropomorphic characters based on warships from the Republic of China Navy. While the text notes that ships from other participants like the Soviet Union and Imperial Germany were added later, it explicitly lists the Dragon Empery as a core member nation whose personifications are available for players to collect. The alliance itself is described as being split in two due to an alien intervention, with the Dragon Empery remaining part of the main Azur Lane coalition.

Lore & Background
Within the game's setting, the Dragon Empery represents the Republic of China Navy. Players can organize these shipgirls into fleets of six to confront AI-controlled enemies or other players. The text specifies that while the primary nations include the United States, Royal Navy, Imperial Japanese Navy, and Kriegsmarine, ships from the Republic of China Navy are among those available, alongside others like the French Navy and Soviet Navy being added later in the game's history. As of October 2024, more than 600 characters have been introduced to the game, representing ships from nine countries that participated in the war. The Dragon Empery contributes to this total, adding to the diverse roster of shipgirls that players can customize and deploy in various battle situations.
In Their Own Story
The harbor lights flickered against the humid night air as Zheng He stood upon the observation deck. Below, the gentle lapping of waves against her hull mirrored the calm demeanor she always projected. A young trainee approached, clutching a scroll of tactical data. The girl whispered that Siren signals were faint but growing stronger near the coast. The older shipgirl smiled softly, adjusting her cap. Patience is our armor tonight, she told the trainee. We do not rush into darkness; we illuminate it.
Reader's Guide
To engage with the Dragon Empery content, players must first collect characters based on Republic of China Navy warships. These characters function like other shipgirls in the game: they gain experience points from battles, commissions, or dormitory placement and can be leveled up via Limit Break to increase their maximum level limit. In battle preparation, players organize fleets with a front row (destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers) and back row (battleships, aircraft carriers, etc.), though the specific placement of certain sailing frigates varies. Players must navigate grid-like maps, manage fuel and ammo resources, and utilize manual controls or auto mode to defeat enemies. The game features an endgame content called Operation Siren, announced on December 14, 2020, for a late December release, which may involve various faction ships.
