Nagumo Keiko (南雲 圭子)
How to obtain: Starting admiral Command Points: 330 (360) Skill: "Education" (教育) — Increases experience gained by allies, in the same combat zone, by 40%. Growth Rate: +4%

Comments:
 * Her bonuses, coupled with her growth rate, make her a strategic tank
 * "Education" makes her an extremely valuable character, worth deploying regularly
 * Despite her value mostly coming from that skill, she still has a very decent CP cap, making her easy to use in various situations

Biography: 28 Years old. A married woman who is like a big sister. Great at lightening the mood. Was promoted to admiral and is now her husbands superior officer. Surprisingly good at baking. Surprises people by slapping them on the back. Likes housework. Dislikes stiffness

Recommended fleet formations: Fast fleet formation gives immunity to the most common used attack in the game, able to counter and destroy most missile and cannon using enemies while withstanding attacks from lasers and aircraft, ideal in M pollen situations and against the Soviets and the Dokutsu who enjoy using lasers, submarines and cannons. 

Tanaka Raizou (田中 雷蔵)
How to obtain: Starting admiral Command Points: 180 (330) Skill: "Roar" (爆走) — Can move twice during Player Strategy Phase Growth Rate: +6%

Comments:
 * Starts weak, but has the most growth events of any admiral, becoming a powerful cannon-based admiral, but only if you invest a lot of events on him:
 * His 2nd event increases his third slot by 40%, and gives 30 command points
 * Reltih Adolf's second event increases his fourth slot by 40%
 * Coyote Mararu's 3rd event gives him 30 command points
 * Mirja's 2nd event gives him 30 command points
 * Koo Rothsch's 5th event gives him 30 command points
 * The event from building Breast Shrines three times gives him 30 command points
 * His 6% growth rate is also very high, making him a good combo to deploy with Nagumo to maximise his potential early.
 * If you haven't gotten any of his growths, consider deploying him with 2 subs and the jellyfish
 * "Love bonus:" Consider Tanaka as a candidate for an early love bonus, as his Roar skill lets him use it efficiently, it gives him the CP he needs from early on, and if you further do all his events, you can unlock a 2 carrier subs + 2 cannon subs combo that is extremely powerful into the late game

Biography: 20 years old. Wild and rough by nature. Ignores his superiors and regulations which has resulted in admonishments despite his many valorous deeds. Wants to get a girlfriend soon. Likes taking care of small turtles. Dislikes staying in the bath for a long time.

Recommended fleet formations: A universal fleet formation famed for being cheap and low in command points. Required 210 command points however so must have Raizou die once or twice in order to get an extra 30 command points. As Raizou's first 2 bonuses are extremely powerful, it is recommended he stick in this formation even if he ends up with 300 command points. At tier 3, 4 admirals with this formation accompanied by 4 submarine admirals can level the entire Gamerican galaxy without a single point of damage, interchanging the AA for missile depending on the system. Japan's version of Dokutsu's Rommel. The cannon bonus makes the 2 submarines work as if they were 3. Taking advantage of the skill "Roar" allows  him to defend 2 fronts at the same time. Using submarines ensures, with the right surface fleet, that he takes no damage, allowing him to be used every turn, and nullifying the negative HP penalties of the 3rd slot (if you increase his CP enough to field a 3rd submarine). 

Yamamoto Mugen (山本 無限)
How to obtain: Starting admiral Command Points: 510 (540) Skill: "Public Peace Boost" (治安改善) — Increases the public peace of a region by 2 Growth Rate: +1%

Comments:
 * Starting on turn 20, when sent to a star region in an offensive battle (does not actually have to be deployed in a field but has to have a ship equipped), he will have a random chance of a post-battle event where his health worsens. Eventually, he will die (again by random chance) and replaced by Koga Hitomi who retains his levels.
 * Yamamoto has an amazing CP maximum - only Reltih, Itou-kakka and Hanny the Admiral have higher. This makes him a valuable admiral throughout the game, if only because he can easily slot in the Anemone or Prison ship and still have space to use barrier ships or to do damage.

Biography: 72 years old. A navy admiral. Due to his disease he was off active duty for a year, but returned after the battles with the Chun empire weakened the military. Wants a grandchild as cute as his nurse Koga. He occasionally slaps her rear. Likes sake, gambling. Dislikes staying in hospital and resting.

Recommended fleet formations: This formation makes use of all of Yamamoto's bonuses and gives him the highest overall fleet damage, in the beginning part of the game. As time goes on however, laser and aircraft based ships become more powerful and capable of 1 hit kills especially when the 2nd generation of radar ships come out, making this old man obsolete, however he is still able to wipe out an entire medium strengthened star system on his own if the initial strikes fail to annihilate the enemy 

Koga Hitomi (古賀 ひとみ)
How to obtain: Starting on turn 20, deploying Yamamoto Mugen to an offensive battle (does not actually have to be deployed in a field but has to have a ship equipped) will cause a post-battle event to occur, with a random chance, where he is exhausted. After occurring twice, a start of turn event will be queued where he dies and is replaced by Koga Hitomi. Command Points: 510 (540) Skill: Growth Rate: +4%
 * "Public Peace Boost" (治安改善) — Increases the public peace of a region by 2
 * "Berserk" (凶暴士) — Increases all damages by 20% (Activates a phase after taking damage and reverts to Public peace after the battle)

Comments:
 * Her bonuses are inferior to Yamamoto Mugen's, but she has the hidden "Berserk" skill in addition to Public Peace Boost. However, this skill is hard to efficiently use since taking damage means spending resources or turns for healing.
 * Like Yamamoto, Koga is a go to for Anemone or the Prison ship
 * If you are trying to trigger Berserk another strategy is to equip Koga with the Abandoned Colony (get the ship from an event that appears starting turn 24). If you do choose to use the Abandoned Colony on Koga, consider leaving Ugaki Sakura in his 4th form, or not recruiting him at all, as his 5th form is also somewhat dependent on this ship. One advantage of using this on Koga is that she has 4 ship slots, allowing her to add a tange dog or maintenance ship, which can help with the colony's high cost repairs.

Biography: 22 years old. She was Yamamoto's dedicated nurse. He noticed her hidden talents and willed her his gambling set. She is now an admiral. Her current ringtone is Cee-Io. Likes Aromatherapy. Dislikes people getting hurt.

Recommended fleet formations: This formation makes use of all of Hitomi's bonuses and gives her the highest overall fleet damage, in the beginning part of the game. As time goes on however, laser and aircraft based ships become more powerful and capable of 1 hit kills especially when the 2nd generation of radar ships come out, making this fleet obsolete, however, it still has 3 powerful attacks capable of wiping out an entire medium strengthened star system on her own, augmented by her skill of if she gets hit she becomes 20% more deadly 

Shibagami (柴神)
How to obtain: His recruitment event is available after Mikado performs the "Kamikaze" ceremony. Command Points: 960 Skill: Divine Miracle (神の奇跡) — Increases all damages by 30% against disasters Growth Rate: N/A (starts at level 10)

Comments:
 * His first slot is fixed with "Dog Palace," leaving only 330 command points spare.
 * If the Japanification Plan was accepted, Mikado will eventually replace him. He does not gain levels, and therefore has no growth rate
 * In the non-Japanification route, he will disappear temporarily if you complete Mikado's Fugaku recruitment. Note that any ships equipped to him will be duplicated when he leaves, as he leaves them behind and returns after Mikado's departure with a second copy.

Biography: The immortal god that has supported japan throughout the ages. He has selected each mikado somewhat arbitrarily, but has not erred in his judgement. Sometimes acts like a dog. Likes bones. Dislikes onions. 

Mikado (帝)
Mikado is unique, in that there are 2 different ways to recruit her, and her stats are quite different depending on which way is followed.

Japanification Plan (Imperial Palace)
How to obtain: Accept the Japanification Plan, conquer 14 regions. She will eventually replace Shibagami in a start of turn event (can be delayed by other events). Command Points: 960 Skill: God's Miracle (神の奇跡) — Increases all damages by 30% against disasters Growth Rate: +4%

Non-Japanification (Fugaku)
How to obtain: Alternatively, if the Japanification Plan was refused, she temporarily replaces Shibagami following events related to manipulating the Fugaku monster (see Monster Princess Toluca's events). Joins with no experience unlike her predecessor. But you will only get to use her in combat a total of 3 times. If acquired this way she has only 1 'ship' Fugaku, which has 9000 hp and 3000 laser attack, a different skill, and a slightly different biography. Command Points: 960 Skill: ESP - Repair 40% HP without a repair ship (non-Japanization route) Growth Rate: +10%

Comments:
 * She begins with no experience (on the Japanization route), but has potential to be offensively better than Shibagami by levelling. And like the latter, her first slot (fixed with "Imperial Palace") leaves her with only 330 command points.
 * "Love" Clear bonus: By using "Love" on Mikado+Fugaku in the non-Japanization route, you can unlock her 3 other slots. As Fugaku is a 0CP ship, she will have 990CP. Simlarly to Hanny the Admiral, she can take full advantage of Yokozuna's commemorative ship. She can solo clear Nigayomogi in this way. Warning: Any ships you equip on Mikado will disappear with her after her 3rd fight.

Biography: A girl with the divine power to rule Japan. "if we work together we can create peace" is her creed and it helps keep everyone united. Told everyone to get along and it has reduced her sense of isolation. Has been very happy lately. Likes: rice and taiyaki. Dislikes: static electricity.

Recommended fleet formations: This formation gives the mikado a fast fleet that strikes twice at the enemy, the aircraft attack being more powerful than her laser attack,. 

Ugaki Sakura (宇垣 さくら)
How to obtain: Accept the triple alliance. After the Cat Whisperer event (turn 10 as start of turn), an event will become available to recruit him. Command Points: 360 Skill: "Frontline Diplomacy" (前線外交) — Makes a region less likely to be invaded Growth Rate: +2%

Comments: His bonuses will change each time he is destroyed in an offensive battle.
 * His 3rd form gets All Stats +20% at level 10, which can be pretty decent, except that he would be pretty useless until you put quite a bit of EXP on him..
 * His 4th form has strong bonuses for a mixed damage commander, like Yamamoto
 * The awkward 5th form combination of Cannon + HP means that instead of a submarines, you should consider a DD-THNDR + Abandoned Colony + Aircraft Carrier.
 * Because the Abandoned Colony has its own set of disadvantages (not cheap to repair) and there are others who also want it (like Koga), consider freezing him at his 4th form if you don't have it.

Biography: 55 years old. Minister of foreign affairs who is proud of his W-shaped moustache. Is hard-headed and arrogant, but he is totally loyal to mikado and is willing to risk his life for his country. Likes: lovely sakura brand sake. Dislikes: bathrooms without bathtubs. 

Yubari (夕張)
How to obtain: After turn 14, if you are at war with Gamerica, an event to give Dr. Hiraga 3000 res will appear. The option disappears after a certain amount of turns (or if you invade USJ from Hawaii? Unconfirmed). Command points: 0 Skill: AI-Controlled Ship (頭脳操艦) — 80% chance of decreasing all damages by 80% Growth Rate: +10% Comments:
 * Using the "Love" clear bonus on Yubari will give her +60% to her first slot instead of the normal bonuses
 * After maxing her level, she will gain her second slot, which is fixed with a ship providing only "Great Air Defense."
 * If defeated during an invasion after having seen the event where she talks with Tougou twice (occurs when they are sent to the same invasion), she will be removed from your navy; Carol Kiring, Dorothy Neumann, or Reltih Adolf can restore her through events.
 * A great budget commander due to her 0 cost fixed ships, she also has the highest growth rate in the game, and a very strong clear bonus, if you can get it.
 * If you want to avoid her destructions, don't deploy her with Tougou. Note that her revival events will place her in Japan, no matter where she died.

Biography: A pseudo A.I created by Hiraga that acts as the brain of a battleship. Cannot be massed produced as the core uses the rare material purple hirara. Has an innocent child like mind. Likes: sortieing, riddles. Dislikes: the post perovskite phase. 

Taira Eichi (平良 英知)
How to obtain: Automatically joins after accepting the Japanification Plan. Command Points: 450 Skill: Support Squads (支援団体) — Heals 20% per turn. Stacks with other healing effects Growth Rate: +2%

Comments:
 * He will desert after 15 turns (but this can be delayed by other start of turn events), and establish a rebellion in Manilla 2000. Therefore, it is advised to refrain from giving him precious experience points others could have earned
 * Remove all his ships before he rebels, since he leaves with them
 * However, he is pretty good, with powerful bonuses, and a good skill that makes him useful as a decoy, since he heals up for free.

Comments:
 * Joins a few turns after Taira Eichi.
 * She will follow Taira and leave when he rebels, unless you do her first three events. If you don't want to keep her, then consider reducing her battles so she doesn't take EXP. Manilla 2000 must be retaken before she can be cleared.

Itou Kakka (伊藤閣下)
How to obtain: Refuse the Japanification Plan. He will join automatically after selecting a wish Command Points: 570 Skill: "Frontline Diplomacy" (前線外交) — Makes a region less likely to be invaded Growth Rate: N/A

Comments:
 * He's a really good admiral... he just feels like a waste to use because he does not gain levels and has no bonuses...
 * But that CP! He can make use of ultra high cost ships like the Yokozuna and the Kaneda without a character clear, or just equip aircraft carriers
 * Otherwise, you can just use him for his skill

The 4 starting generics
How to obtain: Starting admirals (4 of them) Command points: 270 Skill: None Growth rate: +1% Comments:
 * EXP doesn't matter for these guys and their battle potential is fundamentally crippled.
 * Nevertheless, they are actually very useful, particularly at the start of game when you don't have options, but even later on:
 * Peacekeepers - first and foremost, their role is to sit in planets that are getting back to peace
 * Decoys - equip a comms boat and hope they take the damage instead of your main admirals in battle
 * Rebels - they can take care of rebels in a pinch
 * Aeris Warp Gate expeditions - if used with 2 cannon squadrons + AA and laser barrier, they can keep off an Aeris warp gate expedition on their own

Biographies: 
 * 1) Togakushi - 62 years old. Promoted to vice admiral due to seniority. Is quite worldly. Often wonders why he survived despite what happened to the previous minister

Tsunoda
How to obtain: 1st recruit an admiral event Command points: 300 Skill: Regional defence - Receives -30% damage in defensive battles Growth rate: +2% Comments:

Arima Usagiko
How to obtain: 1st recruit an admiral event Command points: 360 (390) Skill: none Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * An admiral with nice bonuses and a good amount of command points however she only has 2 ship slots.
 * Best used with a laser battleship and a missile battleship but because of the low radar caused by this, her only use thus far is in the invasion of Rabaul and the battle against the formers.
 * H-event increases her command points to 390. You must complete it to get the H-events for the next 2 generic Japanese girls

Biography: 20 years old. A single colonel. The army's next Yamashita. Always calm and composed. Was dating a yakuza. After being victim of domestic violence, she now hates men.

Takasu Sunao
How to obtain: 2nd recruit an admiral event Command points: 360 Skill: none Growth rate: +2% Comments: Although at first glance has negative stats, these stats aren't important as long as the right ship is inserted in the correct slot, for example if he was to be a carrier admiral, then the first and second slots could be used for the 135 and 165 command point carriers, then the radar ship could fit in the 3rd slot. If he were to be used as a laser admiral, then the first 2 slots should contain the 180 battleship and the 90 cruiser, while the 3rd and 4th slots should be used for the destroyers. As a generic admiral, that you don't have to spend a lot of time trying to catch, he is the best

Biography: 47 years old. A commodore whose hobby is comming up with puns. Has 7 children. Gets very worried when he hears a rumor about his daughter getting a boyfriend. May have made preperations already.

Biography: 22 years old. A newly wed commander. Her mother is from the Itarin republic. After the war is over she plans on retiring. Likes sea animals.

Yamaguchi
How to obtain: 3rd recruit an admiral event Command points: 330 Skill: none Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * This guy can technically be a decent aircraft admiral, but why you would need another generic when you should be getting much better uniques, I do not know...
 * You can give up radar for additional fighter damage or you can use standard x4 carriers and insert a radar ship into the 3rd slot

Biography: 25 years old. A commodore and a devoted husband. Lives for his wife. Tougou has never met his wife. His wife's speciality is reversed cabbage roles.

Endou Tetsusai
How to obtain: 3rd recruit an admiral event Command points: 300 (330) Skill: Repair - repair 20% HP without repair shop (stacks with repair ships) Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * Repair is a great skill. She can be used as a decoy with a maintenance boat and Kabuki, or as a heavy with a missile battleship.
 * In later game, consider using a zero type missile battleship accompanied by 2 zero type sonar boats for a fast hitting missile admiral, however as aircraft and lasers fire faster than missiles, she will will lose relevance in the later game, and you should have better admirals by then anyway.

Biography: 24 years old. A single commander. Daughter of the nation's largest car company's president but she likes ships more than cars. Eats cabbage casserole for dinner almost every day

Volun Teer (菩蘭 亭亜)
(Mistranslated in the English patch as Satoriran Sana) How to obtain: Must build at least 1 Civil Defence Corps building and then select the event "Establishing a Civil Defence Corps" Command Points: 420 Skill: None Growth Rate: +1%

Volun Teer gets stronger (new ships) as you build more Civil Defence Corps buildings (all her ships are fixed):

Comments:
 * Although weak, she appears in all defensive battles in all territories, making her a high utility admiral to have on the non-Japanification route against rebels or for use against the Aeris warp gates
 * She always heals back to full HP after every battle and can be used multiple times in a turn
 * The SDS Heiwa (210HP; 120radar; 150laser; 90missiles; 90CP) is a ship unique to Volun Teer

Biography: 21 years old. Representative of the Japanese self-defence volunteer organization. She operates the civilian organization that provides paramilitary support without charge during defensive battles. In her free time, her schedule is filled with dates with those unfortunate men who would otherwise not be able to find a girl, but she does not allow any physical contact. 

The Empire of Chun
Theme: utility. Other than Hanitora, Chun doesn't have any stand out admirals, but all of them provide a certain form of utility that can help a lot in early to mid game. Lin Fa and Lan Fa fall off quickly but each come with a ship to add to your collection when you're low on res. Tenten and Kakai likewise aren't great, but they have low repair cost and Kaikai's tankiness is really convenient sometimes. Hanitora, goes without saying, with the best peace stabilization skill in the game.

Hanitora (ハニトラ)
How to obtain: Complete the event "A Meeting in Beijing" after conquering Beijing. Wait for a start of turn event where lewd photos are spread, before conquering The Chun Empire. An event will appear to recruit her once you restore all Chun planets to full peace. Command Points: 150 (180) Skill: Growth Rate: +6%

 * After her 5th (offensive) battle, her third slot increases by 40%, and she gains 30CP
 * After her 10th battle, her fourth slot increases by 40%, and her skill changes to Man Slayer 2
 * Consider leaving Celebrity as her skill, since she has low command points and Celebrity is a very nice skill to have

She is unused to being a commander so she's struggling. Likes pandas. Dislikes polar bears. <br style="clear:both" />

Higuchi Gouyoku (樋口 豪欲)
How to obtain: Automatically joins after conquering Nanjing. Command Points: 240 Skill: "Unrest Increase" (痴安改善) — Public peace of a region does not increase Growth Rate: +1%

Comments:
 * His skill "Unrest Increase" just prevents public peace from being recovered, it doesn't cause it to drop. So there is no downside in leaving him in Japan, or using him defensively in planets at peace.
 * Clearing him deletes him from your admiral list, so don't bother with his events.
 * Actually brings a fairly decent ship with him, making him a welcome addition early in the game.

Biography: Trapped by Chun's Hanitora, which led to his betrayal of Japan in the Battle of Manchuria. Shrewdly put the blame on his subordinates and returned.

 * She's not so great a commander, but she comes as early as turn 2 with a decent ship, the CG-Old Style.

Biography: 21 years old. Commander of Chun's North army. A serious girl that graduated with honors from the military academy.

How to obtain: Her recruitment event is available after conquering Nanjing, and seeing Hiraga Tsunami's first event, the Cat Whisperer. Command Points: 300 (330) Skill: None Growth Rate: +2% Comments: By the time you get the event to recruit her, there are usually better events to do. The CL-Portland she starts with is a first generation version that is much less effective than the better ones from Kathy or Spruance.

Biography: 19 years old. Commander of Chun's South army. Saved by the Japanese after being shot by emperor Shu. Admires Gamerica's anti japanese teachings, as well as their belief in Gamerican superiority. But could Tougou be special? Likes: surfing. Dislikes: Emperor Shu. <br style="clear:both" />

Tenten (項 天天)
How to obtain: Capture in battle at Nanjing using the capture ship. Command Points: 180 Skill: Made in Chun - Malfunction in equipment which disables its consecutive attacks (no effect) Growth rate: 2% Comments:
 * May be somewhat useful at the start but will become extremely weak past early game due to low scaling and weak ship.
 * Doing her H event will upgrade her first slot bonus.

Biography: Former soldier of the Chun Empire who was bound to the emperor. Uses super ultra mega sized melee weapon, but the rhombus she controlled wasn't very useful. Is madly in love with Tougou. <br style="clear:both" />

Kaikai (金 海海)

 * Due to her high HP and low repair cost, she is actually quite a good tank. She even has a decent laser output for early game.
 * Doing her H event will add a sizeable bonus to the skill affecting her first and only ship.

Biography: Former soldier of the Chun empire who fled from the emperor's side. She's very quite because of that, sometimes when she stands in a hallway people will be startled by her. Believes she was entombed in clay with an emperor in her past life. <br style="clear:both" />

Gamerica Republic Admirals
Theme: bigger and better (and fighters). Gamerica's key admirals are all very strong, because they mostly give full customization to the player. On top of that, many of them have fighter focused bonuses, making them very strong, immediately and through the late game. They're pretty blunt in the kind of admirals they are, but they won't grow as much as UHOS and are more tedious to manage than Aeris.

As enemies, the Gamerica theme is also fighters. AA2 is a must as well as high HP.

Eagle Douglas (イーグル・ダグラス)
How to obtain: President Revolt route, surrender and join after conquer Washington Command Points: 480 (510) Skill: Luv+ Attack +10% when deployed in the same battlezone with Carol Kiring Growth rate: +2%

Comments:
 * Eagle Douglas can only be cleared in Japanization route. Otherwise you cannot get his final 2 events and it is a waste of time to do his events. This is required for his +30CP.
 * His slot bonuses are very good, giving to him a surprising equal or better damage output than Reltih or Zhukov despite having fewer command points.
 * Good candidate for the Love clear bonus, since it pushes his CP, which is originally just slightly behind some others, into very good territory, and frees up his 4th slot.
 * His starting ship Battleship Enterprise is not fixed, which is great for both his customisation and to use it on other characters.

Biography: 25 years old. Commander of the Gamerican pacific fleet. Believes in freedom and justice of Gamerica, and is fighting to end its corruption. Became a japanese admiral but is still trying to make gamerica happy. Carries a picture of Carol. Likes: sports. Dislikes: Natto. <br style="clear:both" />

Carol Kiring
How to obtain: Command points: 390 (420) Skill: Large Repair - HP recovery +40% Growth rate: +2%
 * 1) President revolt method: Wait for the start of turn event where Douglas rescues Carol from prison. Note that this can be skipped if you conquer Washington before President Loose revolts. The next event phase you can select a new event to recruit her. This recruitment event will disappear once you conquer Gamerica.
 * 2) CORE method: If you invade USJ before Kanada, wait until the CORE pushes you back to Hawaii. Invade USJ before Carol's torture event occurs (time limited), this generally takes ~2 enemy phases from when CORE takes over. If you conquered USJ in time, an event will appear to recruit Carol.

Comments:
 * Like Reltih, Carol can bring Yubari back from the junkyard when Yubari is destroyed
 * If you want to clear her events, make sure to a) delay conquering Gamerica until you do her first 3 events, b) clear her before Eagle Douglas
 * Unlock Carol's third and fifth events require sending her into combat three times
 * Carol is one of the main heroines required for clear ending 1 (but she is replaced by Scarlett for Ending 2)
 * Carol's skill stacks with repair boats, so just adding a maintenance boat to her means she'll get back to 100% health if you wait a turn. This makes her a very strong commander if you're trying to do quick runs with low res, such as Japanification+Ultimate Idol, it can also be cheap just to simply give her a Kabuki and maintenance boat, making her the perfect self-repairing decoy.

Biography: 18 years old. Daughter of the Kiring corporation, which dominates the military industrial complex. Hates Tougou but reluctantly became an admiral anyway. Enjoys working for the navy. Believes there are other blond twin tailed japanese. Likes arms, weapons. Dislikes goatees, red mufflers. <br style="clear:both" />

Koo Rosche
How to obtain: In either method, after the condition occurs, an event with No data picture called Runaway from the Green Grass Society (若草会から来た逃亡者) will appear that will recruit Koo: Command points: 360 (390) Skills: None Growth rate: +6%
 * 1) President revolt method: An event will occur just before the President Loose revolt where Koo will escape as a refugee from Gamerica. This event can be skipped if you conquer Gamerica before the President Loose events.
 * 2) CORE method: After the event where Hannah is taken captive by CORE

Comments:
 * Koo's events are very worthwhile to do:
 * Recruiting Koo is a precondition to recruiting Hannah in the CORE method
 * One of them gives Tanaka Raizou +30CP
 * Koo's clear gives them +30CP
 * The other events will first take 10k res, then give back 2.5k and later 17.5k, giving you 10k net
 * A heavily EXP dependent admiral, Koo is somewhat awkward to use. Their HP bonuses make them effective at defence early on, but since that gives less EXP than offence, it's hard to take advantage of their 390 CP and +30% all stats bonuses at level 10, which would make them a great offensive admiral.
 * Between their EXP dependence for All Stat bonuses, lack of a skill, and 360 (390) CP cap (on the higher side, but lowest of the 4 Green Grass members), Koo is the least effective of the Green Grass society members.

Biography: 21 years old. Representative of the Rosche corporation that dominates the financial sector. corporation representatives are traditionally women but he is actually a man. He has secretly been in love with Hannah for many years. He's a trap. Likes horseback riding. Dislikes wasteful spending. <br style="clear:both" />

Hannah Rock
How to obtain: Command Points: 420 (450) Skill: None Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * 1) "Normal" route: Cannot be recruited
 * 2) President revolt route: Wait until the 'one-man system' activates then invade Washington. Select the event with No data picture "タフガールの復活".
 * 3) CORE route: Require recruiting Koo Rosche first. After invading Chicago X, select the event with No data picture "タフガールの復活"
 * One of the harder admirals to get
 * Hannah is a top class carrier commander, despite having no skill. Between her good CP cap and 4 slot bonuses, she an be very powerful with 1 Type 99 heavy carrier and 2 Type 94 carriers. Only Douglas, Reltih and Zhukov can match her in terms of pure fighter damage.
 * However, against Aeris, you are usually likely better off with 2 Type 99 carriers and radar, while against UHOS, you might want 2 Type 99s with SNR or CR ships

Biography: 22 years old. Daughter of the Rock Conglomerate, which dominates global resources. After saving Gamerica from collapsing, Koo talked her into joining the Japanese. Very intelligent and hardworking. Solves rubik's cubes in 12 seconds. Likes: cherry pie served with vanilla ice cream. Dislikes: ignorant people who don't put in effort. <br style="clear:both" />

Dorothy Neumann
How to obtain: Choose the event "The Colony" after conquering Gamerica (can occur whether or not CORE revolted, and even occurs if neither President Loose nor CORE revolted. However, there might be a requirement to do it before turn 60 (?) and/or recruit Carol on the non-CORE route (?) - needs confirmation). Command Points: 390 (420) Skill: None Growth rate: +4% Comments:
 * Starts with +20% bonuses on each type of damage, and has a decent +4% growth rate, making her a great commander.
 * She's worth recruiting just for Tougou's bonus/free heal and Deganawidah and Blackhorse who are recruited through the same event. It's essentially a 4 for 1 deal. Not to mention the conditions are much easier to achieve than the other Green Grass society members.

Biography: Former head of the leading hi-tech neumann corporation. Had abandoned civilization to live in canada, but has returned to being a scientist seeking efficiency by balancing mind and body. likes research and fantasy. Dislikes idle chatter. <br style="clear:both" />

Devil Dwight
How to obtain: Defeat USJ before Kanada (requires triggering the CORE revolt). Command Points: 450 (480) Skill: None Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * Despite being labelled as generation 1, his BB-Montana appears to be the same as the generation 3 BB-Montana (needs confirmation)
 * His first event after recruiting him immediately gives you his +30CP bonus, so it's an efficient option to take.
 * Consider avoiding his 3rd event. Although his 3rd event will 'upgrade' his ship, the BB M-Overflow is arguably worse than the BB-Montana. It does more damage but in mixed laser+missile damage rather than just lasers, and actually has less HP and radar. (He should have listened to Hiraga...)

Biography: 32 years old. Commander of the Gamerican Atlantic Fleet. A customization maniac who loves battleships and women. Of course he's customized everything on his ship, including the steel and paint. Won't ride elevators even if there's room. Likes: remodelling, painting. Hates: boiled food from Tsukada (all tastes the same) <br style="clear:both" />

Deganawidah
How to obtain: Same as Dorothy Neumann. Command Points: 330 (360) Skill: None Growth rate: +4% Comments:
 * Very good bonuses though very average CP. Makes a good submarine commander but flexible enough to use all ship types.
 * Only need 2 events to get her bonus and H-scene, compared to most other characters.

Biography: Priestess of the Spedio, who live in Kanada on a reservation. Has lived alone since her husband and child were killed by a space disaster. Joined as thanks for removing the disasters around Kanada. Doesn't understand the pear shrine. Likes dandelions. Dislikes lies. <br style="clear:both" />

Blackhorse
How to obtain: Same as Dorothy Neumann. Command Points: 330 (360) Skill: None initially. "Soul" (after event) - 5% extra damage for each female in region? (Max 50% with 10 female admirals stationed on the planet) Growth rate: +6% Comments:
 * Can only use 2 ships but can deal very high damage with his skill anyway.
 * Command Points is enough to use 2 carrier airships. If you increase it you can use 2 huge airships.
 * Also only requires 2 events to get both the skill and command points bonus, so little investment is needed. Great "budget" admiral.
 * A good candidate for the clear bonus "Love"

Biography: 33 years old. Leader of the Spedio warriors. Bears the responsibility of guiding and protecting the tribal shaman. Left Kanada along with his younger sister, Deganawidah. Baffled by civilization. Watches children's shows. Likes proud warriors, friends. Dislikes nightmares. <br style="clear:both" />

Frith Halsey
How to obtain: After finishing warp gate event from Hawaii, wait for her to attack from Canada, defeat her. Then talk to her in event phase. You can do this before conquering USJ if you want to trigger the CORE revolt. Command Points: 390 (420) Skill: None Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * Frith is a very strong admiral with solid bonuses for a carrier focused admiral and a decent CP cap.
 * Her starting ship, the CV-Essex is a strong ship, particularly if you go for Gamerica early on.
 * As the game randomly chooses when to send Frith in attack against Hawaii... it can be quite a long wait, totally up to luck. (Reloading a save a couple turns before doesn't appear to have an effect on her RNG)

Biography: 24 years old. The Gamerican admiral known as the Witch of Solomon. Maneuvers based on her divining which boasts a 100% accuracy rate. A confident and talented woman. Her body is engraved with a Spedio pattern, inherited from her grandmother. Likes using fortune telling on horse races. Dislikes imitation minerals. <br style="clear:both" />

Kathy Bradley
How to obtain: Conquer Micronesia, then talk to Kathy twice. Command Points: 240 (270) Skill: Growth rate: +4%
 * 1) Dogfight Expert (乱戦上等): If HP is less than full, attack increases by 10%
 * 2) (After upgrade) Penetration (貫徹): Negates enemy's barrier effect by -300.

Comments:
 * Kathy's one of the best early game admirals. Unfortunately, it takes 2 events to recruit her though...
 * Despite the 2nd and 3rd slots that are always negative and the low command points, she has a powerful bonus on her first slot, and a good 4% growth rate that brings it up to 100%.
 * Once recruited, it doesn't take many events to get her "penetration" skill, which works great against Aeris, and her CP bonus, so she's an efficient admiral to do events for power ups.
 * Against UHOS, she can still pack a punch in her first slot while carrying a CR boat and even an AL2 ship in her last 2 slots

Biography: 22 years old. A rough woman who loves sex and war... but after losing to Tougou in a sex match she's changed. In order to get Tougou to hold her again she is reinventing herself. She worries about losing to her subordinates in strength. Likes: T-bone steak. Dislikes: Henachin bastards.

Recommended fleet formations: Another approach in late game is to ignore her ability and maximise her high attack bonus on her first ship slot with a carrier. The clione fish is a good fit for her last slot as it has a 0CP cost and low HP anyway, but can add an extra little bonus to her fighter damage. <br style="clear:both" />

Kuchiki Isabella
How to obtain: Isabella will appear randomly when Gamerica attacks a player controlled Micronesia from Hawaii (is it possible for her to appear in an invasion of Rabaul from Hawaii?). Destroy her to capture. You must conquer USJ before selecting her event to recruit her. Otherwise, the event that appears for her before capturing USJ doesn't appear to have any effect (I don't believe it prevents her recruitment event, but neither does it enable it). Command Points: 300 (330) Skill: Growth Rate: +6% Comments:
 * 1) Fort - Damage received -50% if damage was taken that battle (remains effective in a subsequent round). (Before Events)
 * 2) Education (教育) - Raises Expierence points by allies in same combat zone by 40%. Must be unlocked through events.
 * Complete 2 events after recruiting Isabella to get her Education skill upgrade (a third event for her +30CP)
 * Her starting skill Fort can be powerful, but it's mostly just well suited to defensive battles.
 * If you're going to use Isabella in an invasion team, you should really invest in her 2 events to get Education, which... is also a dubious bonus, considering you'll already have Nagumo, and Goepe who comes later is preferable to either. But it is a great skill, and the +30CP on the subsequent event is quite welcome, considering her low cap.
 * As a result, Isabella is very much a second rate character, but she is worth recruiting for her BB-Montana and to keep her around for various defensive scenarios.

Biography: Her parents are Japanese-Gamerican immigrants. Suffered discrimination under Gamerica during the war. Now views both japan and Gamerica as home. Is furiously studying Japanese culture. Her current goal is to like dried kusaya. Likes: colorful kimonos. Dislikes: racism. <br style="clear:both" />

David Kahnhawk
How to obtain: Will attack as part of Gamerica's invasion to Hawaii or USJ from Gatesland randomly (this will still happen in the couple turns after triggering the CORE revolt). Capture him by annihilating his fleet then talk to recruit. Command Points: 330 (360) Skills: Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * 1) Lady killer (女殺し) - +10% damage when attacking female commanders
 * 2) (After upgrade) Lady killer 2 (女殺し2) - +10% damage when attacking female commanders, -10% damage when attacked by female commanders
 * David will get both his skill upgrade and his +30CP on the 2nd event after recruiting him. However, you must have Lan Fa to complete this event (she might even require a certain amount of event progression?).
 * His skill is hard to use well, and his bonuses aren't great either, while his growth rate sucks. Although 330CP isn't bad, it's nothing stand out either. Use him as a defensive extra, or if you really want, give him an aircraft carrier and anti-cold ship when fighting UHOS.
 * His redeeming bonus is the JMR-Goth ship which he comes with. It's great to get an AM2 early in your playthrough if you do Gamerica first, particularly if you are low on Tech or planet count.

Biography: 22 years old. A gamerican admiral who loves himself and is loved by women. It was so boring being a POW that he became a japanese admiral. Hasn't had many japanese girls as lovers and wonders why they don;t love him more. Likes his handsome self. Dislikes missions that make him pale <br style="clear:both" />

Johnny A. Nexon
How to obtain: Destroy Johnny when he attacks as part of Gamerican invasion forces 2x (he will attack from Rabaul) Take over Rabaul, then do the event Capture the flat-faced admiral 平面っぽい兵士を捕獲. Next turn you have to do a 2nd event to recruit him. Command Points: 330 (360) Skill: A - random probability to take roughly 10x damage from enemy attacks Growth rate: +4% Comments:
 * His first 3 slots actually have the exact same base stats and growth as Koga. On top of that, he gets a high HP modifier on his 4th slat where Koga gets nothing.
 * But yeah... his skill will troll you if you try to use him.
 * As a meme character though, he's definitely worth using! Try him out!

Biography: At least according to himself, he is forever 24 (and thus forever in his unlucky year...). He appears to be oblivious to the fact that he has the worst possible luck and is always raising death flags, and yet, somehow always miraculous surviving when his ships and colleagues get destroyed. His ex-girlfriend back home has already broken up with him. Likes: baseball cards. Dislikes: "simple". <br style="clear:both" />

Lala Manie (ララー・マニィ)
How to obtain: Lala's recruitment event (it's an ero event called 'Beach babe' that does not have her picture beside it) has 2 conditions - the player has conquered Manilla 2K and destroyed Lala, and Hawaii is not under the player's control. After conquering Hawaii, it can still appear, if you let Gamerica (or another nation?) reconquer Hawaii. Command Points: 270 (300) Skill: Fluke (まぐれ) - Random chance to increase attack by 10% Growth rate: +4% Comments:
 * Lala is a slightly weird admiral. She is almost like a generic, as she doesn't really have her own event line, but she does have some special events, including her recruitment event that appear under specific conditions
 * To get her CP bonus event, send her in invasions 5 times, and bring Manila 2K to peace
 * Her other event of note is that if you've cleared her (got her CP bonus) and sent her in invasions 10 times, if you fall under 10k res, she will give you 10k res
 * Lala is pretty much relegated to defence after the early game. Her skill is unreliable, her slot bonuses are useless and her CP cap is not so great either. Consider not recruiting her in games where you're trying to go quickly.

Biography: 20 years old. A bright and free-living girl from manilla 2000. Worked with the Gamerican colonial army, but she didn't really care about Gamerica so she joined the Japanese. Suffocates if she hides more than 30% of her cleavage. Likes sea cucumbers. Dislikes cold places. <br style="clear:both" />

Gigamacro
How to obtain: After getting each of Micronesia and Rabaul, colourless events will become available in which Microlita appears. After doing these 2 events, complete the event Girl n space again before taking Hawaii (it will be blocked if you take Hawaii first). There are 2 events that can be done either before or after taking Hawaii, but final one to recruit Gigamacro requires Hawaii to be conquered. Command Points: 0 Skill: God's Miracle 神の奇跡: + 30% attack vs. natural disasters Growth rate: N/A (Starts at level 10) Comments:
 * Gigamacro isn't actually related to Gamerica. He's the King of the Pacific. But he's recruited through Gamerican planets.
 * Gigamacro is a storyline more than an admiral. Microlita/Gigamacro's final event is a fully voiced ending with it's unique CGs, so it's worth seeing (though not translated in the fan patch).
 * As an admiral, he has some marginal uses in early game, or later as a defensive admiral. But he's irrelevant by late game.
 * He's a terrible reward, however, for the number of events you invest to get him. Kaikai who you can get in a single event, along with other prisoners fulfils much the same niche (high HP, low repair cost)

Biography: Until around 20 years ago, he was a hearty king who ruled most of Oceania. Thanks to the power he received from his wife, who was the previous goddess of Oceania, he can turn into a titan. He admires Minister Ugaki's beard. Likes: The sea and people of Oceania. Dislikes: Plastic garbage. <br style="clear:both" />

Spruance (スプルアンス)
How to obtain: Capture during battle at Micronesia (Capture ship) Command Points: 270 Skill: None Growth: +2% Comments: Starts with a good ship that you can get early on, easy to capture in Micronesia early in the game... and I guess he's not bad... but you're better off not using him as a commander...

Biography: 26 years old. A former gamerican soldier. Has a serious personality. Prone to making mistakes even in his late 20s. Is a bit impatient. Has come to respect the forces led by Tougou. He's also become obsessed with going to noodle shops. <br style="clear:both" />
 * Raymond A. Spruance commanded Task Force 16 during the Battle of Midway, however he had previously been a cruiser commander and was concerned about his experience with aircraft carriers. Hence, his last two slots penalize him for using carriers.

Nitro
How to obtain: Capture him during the invasion of USJ. Command Points: 360 Skill: Melee Superiority - Gain 10% attack when damaged Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * Like the other Gamerican generics, starts with a great ship
 * Actually has pretty good bonuses in his first two slots if you're low on admirals. Consider putting barrier ships in the negative ones or going submarines for his cannon bonuses.

Biography: 24 years old. A former Gamerican soldier. Given the nickname "Nitro" due to his explosive nature. Was impressed with the beauty of Mt. Fuji when he came to Japan, but he didn't realize it was a dormant volcano. <br style="clear:both" />

Super Gamerica
How to obtain: Capture him during the invasion of Chicago. (Not available on CORE revolt?) Command Points: 300 Skill : None Growth rate: +2% Comments: Great starting ship, lacking two slots... His bonuses at least make him usable in defence.

Biography: 31 years old. A former Gamerican soldier. A passionate young man of Espanish descent. To overcome deep-seated discrimination in his college days he became a star basketball player. Still has a lot of fans. This is is his real name. <br style="clear:both" />

Le May
How to obtain: Capture her during the invasion of Chicago (not available on CORE revolt?).<br Command Points: 330 (360) Skill: None Growth rate: +2%

Comments: Great starting ship, decent CP cap.

Biography: 24 years old. A former Gamerican soldier who is single. Since leaving Gamerica, she has been pondering the meaning of "Justice" every day. She's very perplexed by the fact that all the Japanese that are her age look so young. <br style="clear:both" />

Doolittle
How to obtain: Invade Hawaii (Capture ship) Command Points: 240 (270) Skill: None Growth rate: +2%

Comments: Her starting ship the Casablanca is 1 of only 2 you can get in the game. These might not look like much, but they are the lowest CP fighter ships in the game (other than fish) so are really valuable as an option for fighter damage for low CP. (The other one is obtained as a Washington star field bonus, and has slightly better stats, as it's a different generation.)

Biography: 26 years old. A former Gamerican soldier who is divorced. Left the military a year after getting married, then rejoined a year after getting divorced. Her former husband is in prison and she won't say what happened between them. <br style="clear:both" />

Soviet Human Unification Organization Admirals
Theme: learning/growth. UHOS has the smallest roster of inner admirals, and many of them seem lacklustre when recruited. If trained up, however, many of them can become the top admirals in the game: Goepe with EDU is something of a keystone around which you'll find the initially lacklustre, but brimming with potential Katherine and Mirja with their skill combo and high growth rates, Unagi with her damage reduction and high CP that finally shine when her negative slots even out at higher levels, and Lydia's starting mediocrity that turns into a strong submarine build. Lolikov and Ryuuko have their own thing going on with their high bonuses but 1 slot awkwardness. Fortunately, Quattro and Zhukov are exceptions to the theme, both providing a much needed immediate boost in strength when you receive them.

As enemies, however, they seem to have a theme of mixed damage and counter-tactics. Between their consistent cold weather conditions, high HP+missile or cannon combos, submarines and the very eclectic mix of clones in the final phase, it's hard to properly prepare for them, but SNR, CR, PROV and high cannon damage are probably a good start.

Katherine
How to obtain: After you take over UHOS, announce 'Not guilty' during her trial. Command Points: 150 (180) Skill: Friends (ともだち): All her attack damage is doubled when in the same star field as Mirja Growth rate: +8%

Comments:
 * Katherine has the highest growth rate in the game after Yubari. Pairing her with Goepe (or Nagumo/Isabella) to take advantage of Edu is a must if you're going to use her.
 * One of the best candidates for the "Love" clear bonus. With her clear CP bonus, this will give her 270 command points, allowing her to equip either:
 * Offensively with an x4 aircraft carrier + 2 clione fish or a clione+flying fish or
 * Defensively with up to two defensive barrier ships and 30 points still remaining.
 * In this set up, you should consider equipping Mirja with submarines
 * Note that Love will not unlock her flagship, so she cannot be used as a submarine commander.
 * Particularly if you're aiming for True Endings 1 or 2, giving Katherine Love and using her in battles to level her is strongly suggested, as this will improve your fixed commanders for the final boss battle. (If you're not going for Endings 1 or 2, it might be better to give Mirja love...?)

Biography: The UHOS supreme committee chairwoman. Had power over people thanks to the red stone she wore and believed she was humanity's queen. Deeply regrets what the stone forced her to do, although she is just as obstinate as before. Likes: Pirozhki, Mirja. Dislikes: Lolicons. <br style="clear:both" />

Mirja
How to obtain: She will join you along with Katerine. Command Points: 150 (180) Skill: Besties なかよし - All her attack damage is doubled when in the same star field as Katherine Growth Rate : +6% Comments:
 * Essentially the same as Katherine but without the fixed ship. Technically, this makes her better, but as you need to use them as a pair for their skills to work, and Mirja can't be used for Endings 1 or 2 bosses, it's generally better to put the clear bonus "Love" on Katherine, and pair Mirja with submarines.
 * A start of turn event after seeing Mirja's 1st event will give Tanaka +30CP

Biography: Katherine's childhood friend and best friend. Isn't very fussy on the surface but is very sharp. Overall she is ultra super my pace. Recently she has been enjoying the candy shop in the navy headquarters. Unlike Katherine, she likes playing with kneading candy (mizuame). Likes: Katherine. Dislikes: Canned herring. <br style="clear:both" />

Mir Goepe
How to obtain: She will join you along with Katherine Command points: 420 (450) Skill: Education (教育) — Increases experience gained by allies, in the same star field by +40% Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * Goepe is a solid commander and essentially functions like an improved Nagumo. She has the same skill as Nagumo, which is great, since she's meant to be used as a set with Katherine and Mirja who really need the EXP, and she has much better CP, and arguably better slot bonuses.
 * Arguably, as her slot bonuses aren't very high, but they do afford a lot of flexibility in how you equip her.
 * Note that Goepe's 2nd event after you recruit her includes a battle, so try to give her 150 damage + AL1 or 300HP for that.

Biography: 22 years old. Chief of the soviet secret police. Brainwashed by the red stone into becoming a ruthless soldier, but originally she was a gentle school teacher. With the red stone's curse broken she's trying to make up with Katherine and Mirja. Likes studying. Dislikes: stiffness. <br style="clear:both" />

Lolikov Banra
How to obtain: After you take over Russian territory and proved Katerin's innocence, talk to him during event phase. Command Points: 510 (540) Skill: None Growth rate: +2%

Comments:
 * Quite a unique character, he is tied with Zhukov and Yamamoto/Koga for 4th place CP, but he only has 1 ship slot for use
 * Clear bonus "Love" is a great option on Lolikov, as it gives him an immediate 600CP and opens up his 3 remaining slots, making him one of your best admirals
 * Otherwise, consider equipping the super battleship Kii (or Kaneda once he's cleared) or the Yokozuna, as he is one of the very few admirals who can make use of these ultra high cost ships

Biography: Loves lolis, and thus served katherine as a mad doctor. Modified his body to look young. He's really 65 years old. His lolicon principle is to look but not touch. He's an M. Wants to see the sights at the public pool but is weak to the sun. Likes being abused by lolis. Dislikes big breasts. <br style="clear:both" />

Unagi Banra
How to obtain: Will attack Laguri, at random, from Chernob (if you're unlucky, she can take a while to appear, and going back 2 turns to try different RNG doesn't appear to make a difference). Defeat her, then talk to her in the event phase. Command Points: 420 (450) Skill: Charged Barrier (帯電障壁): 50% laser damage reduction Growth rate: +6%

Notes
 * Charged barrier allows her to be highly effective against lasers, thus being a good choice against disasters and monsters. The -50% gets applied before flat reductions, like AL2, which makes it one of the best skills in the game.
 * Her 3 negative slots might discourage use, but she's extremely effective even at low levels, because of her +10% starting slot and her amazing +6% growth rate, anti-laser defence skill and 420 CP.
 * At level 10, she is one of the best admirals in the game, with 420 CP, +70% lasers, +10% all stats on her 3 other slots and -50% laser damage
 * It only takes 3 events to get her clear and +30 CP for 450 CP

Biography: Was created and strengthened by Lolikov. Can act as a fleet commander. She is mistreated by lolikov due to her large breasts. Likes cleaning. Dislikes charcoal (feels a sense of danger) <br style="clear:both" />

Ryuuko Banra
How to obtain: Take over Moscow, don't take over the Russian Plains (wait one turn) - you should see Big Sorge and Ryuuko fighting Colonel Akashi as a start of turn event, then you can talkk to her after the incident. Command Points: 150 (180) Skill: Revolt Suppression - Double damage when fighting rebels Growth Rate: +6% Comments:
 * The 1 slot makes it very hard to use her effectively. Add onto that, her skill isn't very useful. Because of the low CP, it doesn't really make sense to use the clear bonus "Love" on her either...
 * But, she has an amazing slot bonus of +90% attack, growing to +150% attack at level 10... It just feels like such a waste to use her to suppress revels...
 * Your options are either to:
 * Use her as her skill intends, letting her easily take down rebels. The best option for this is an AL1 BB class ship after you've done her events for the 180 CP, or a fighter ship
 * Equip her with the fighter sub (doesn't require her CP bonus and gives her a form of defence) to make use of her offensively (it can be decent if you're short on good characters.... but you're really better off using option 1 most of the time)

Biography: Was created and strengthened by lolikov. Acts as a spy. Thinks it will be easy to infiltrate japan based on her looks but she makes a lot of mistakes. Likes toys, games. Dislikes difficult books. <br style="clear:both" />

Juzan Zhukov
How to obtain: Capture him during Moscow invasion. Command Points: 510 (540) Skill: None Growth rate: +2%

Comments:
 * Only loses in CP cap to Reltih, Itou Kakka and Hanny the Admiral.
 * Between his great first slot bonus and great CP, he's a very flexible and competent admiral.
 * His starting ship is also great, packing lots of damage on top of AA1.

Biography: 40 years old. Soviet army marshal who made a name for himself under the old kingdom. Tougou convinced him to fight for his country. Although the country had changed, its heart had not. Presses flowers in his late wife's red book. Likes: borscht made by his deceased wife. Dislikes: sour cream. <br style="clear:both" />

Lydia Rokossovsky
How to obtain: Capture her during Siberia invasion then talk to her. Command Points: 270 (300) Skill: Public Peace Boost 治安改善: Increases the public peace in a region by two units each turn Growth rate: +4% Comments:
 * Despite the poor starting stats, and very average CP, she is still a very nice admiral.
 * With 3 slots of cannon damage and no fixed slot, she makes a decent submarine commander after some levels. After H-ing her you can equip all 4 of her slots with subs.
 * You can also recruit her fairly early into the game, which gives her time to grow into those cannon bonuses
 * On top of that, she comes with the Peace skill, which is always useful whether or not she's in your invasion party.
 * Although not a great ship, her starting ship has higher radar and lower cannon power than the DD-THNDR-63 of the same generation. It can be useful in niche situations where you need radar on cannons.

Biography: 18 years old. A bright and lively soviet admiral. After her red book was taken she ceased to blindly follow its principles and joined the japanese. When she went to Aomori to play she met an old apple farmer who she is still talking to. Likes apples. Dislikes People that smell like alcohol <br style="clear:both" />

Quattro Ako
How to obtain: Hit the very right (Battlefield 3) imprisonment ship during the invasion of Laguri. Then talk to him during event phase Command Point: 390 Skill: Vanguard 機先 - +10% damage if not damaged yet Growth rate: +2%

Comments:
 * It's afro! You might remember his predecessor Yume's Manservant in Daiakuji, he is a staple of the Dai games. And, as always, he's really great! He's also pretty easy go get.
 * Although he only has 1 slot, it has a great bonus and he has 180 CP to spend on it. An aircraft carrier is usually the way to go, though sometimes it makes more sense to put a BB class ship (either laser or missile). You might, alternatively, take advantage of the low repair cost of his fixed ship by equipping him with a fish, such as the red whale for HP or the boss for mixed damage.

Biography: Prince of the Rojia dynasty that was destroyed by the UHOS. Punishing himself for not saving the royal family and is now wearing a mask and using a false name. Moves 3x as fast as a normal person. Hates how red was used to spread ideals. Likes: red things. Dislikes: white horses. <br style="clear:both" />

Snow
How to obtain: Capture her during Russian Plain invasion then talk to her. Command Points: 390 (420) Skill: General Winter - Double laser damage in cold weather. Not affected by Cold. (The effect of this skill disappears when stacked with anti-freeze ship) Growth rate: +2%

Comments:
 * What a frustrating admiral... At first glance, she seems so good. Her skill would be awesome when fighting UHOS, she has all 4 slots, and her CP is towards the high end... but exp is worthless on her, even at level 10, she has an HP penalty, and you only get her after defeating almost all of UHOS, making her skill useless for anything left on the map
 * Furthermore, Snow has a 'bad end' event. If you deploy her to North Africa, she will melt and die.
 * At least you get a decent ship from her
 * Just leave her in the northern planets for use against rebels, warp gates, etc. (Maybe you can get some use out of her skill on Endings 1 and 2 in Chernob? Likely better to use other admirals for that though...)
 * All that being said, if you conquer UHOS before Gamerica or Aeris, she might still be a decent mid-game admiral if only because her high CP makes her decently customizable.

Biography: A witch who has spent her long life sleeping in a snowy Russian plains. When Russia is in danger she fights for its sake. Super sensitive to heat. Likes: shikoku mikan. Dislikes: fireplaces. <br style="clear:both" />

Mallon Kondratenko
How to obtain: Capture him while invading the Russian Plains. He should be with the monster on the right (the monster will not be there if you killed it while invading Moscow). It appears he's not capturable when invading Moscow, even though he's present in the battle. Command Points: 330 (360) Skill: None Growth rate: +2%

Comments:
 * For one of the more prominent storyline characters in UHOS... this drunkard is disappointing. He has a 2% growth rate, it takes 4 events to get his +30CP, he has an all stats minus in his 4th slot that only gets to 0 at level 10 and he specializes in missiles.
 * That being said, he's not terrible - although 330CP isn't high, it's still fairly decent, and his last slot is evidently supposed to be used with a barrier ship so he can defend and launch a missile payload. Not my first choice though... Alps will outclass him in 90% of scenarios as a missile admiral, and is easier to recruit.
 * Even his starting ship is disappointing..., but it is a unique, so if you're collecting those UHOS design ships, he still gives you something.

Biography: 28 years old. A UHOS admiral. Was one of Katherine's prisoners but managed to escape. Realized the nations problems and joined the Japanese. Is a drunkard, but is also talented. Is worried about buying Japanese moe sake. Likes: alcohol. Dislikes: shooting stars. <br style="clear:both" />

Pirozhki
How to obtain: Capturable generic commander in the invasion of Chernob (requires prison ship). Command Points: 330 (360) Skill: none Growth Rate: +2%

Comments:
 * Actually a pretty decent admiral, just use her 4th slot with a barrier, radar, sonar or weather ship, as needed. The other slots should just follow the bonuses. Consider a laser battleship on her to make use of her bonuses. (Still, she's a generic, use her defensively)
 * The Gorky is a pretty neat ship... the design at any rate... it's identical to the 2nd generation CL class laser ships...
 * Pirozhki is also easy to get, as you recruit her in an invasion instead of having to wait for, say Kazakhstan or Borsht, and you can get her before the white hole event pauses the UHOS invasion.

Biography: 18 years old. A former soviet soldier who is single. Truthfully she was a big fan of japanese movies, so every day as a japanese admiral is fun for her. In movies she loves heroic fatheres. She's eagerly waiting for Tougou to become one. <br style="clear:both" />

Borscht
How to obtain: Capturable with the prison ship when she invades Moscow from Russian Plains.

Command Points: 150 (180)

Growth Rate: +2%

Skill: None Comments:
 * You get Borscht for her unique ship. She gives you 1 of only 2 UHOS aircraft carriers accessible to the player (the other is an upgraded version from Katheringrad's star field bonus). It's identical in stats to the Glorious (the Aeris carrier you get from Parapara) which means it's very strong for a 2nd generation fighter, but as a 2nd gen, it's not very relevant if you capture her late in the game.
 * As an admiral... that aircraft bonus is pretty nice, and grows to 100% but with only 2 slots and 150/180CP, she can't do very much with it and will always be very fragile. Give her 1 carrier submarine, and maybe a diving fish if you have the extra CP. Otherwise, a X4 Carrier and a barrier/sonar/radar ship as needed.

Biography: A former Soviet soldier who is single. She is considered to be cold, but its just a misconception brought about by her not being outspoken. Likes kimchi hotpots, but doesn't speak up about it. Her favorite thing is sorbet. <br style="clear:both" />

Aeris Empire Admirals
Theme: Straightforward, elegant loyalty. The Aeris admirals' mostly have a pre-determined play style. They come with fixed ships that give them some unique trait that you really can't play around. Just go with the flow, equip them as they are meant to be, and they should be a strong force. With the exception of Eliza, all the royal family and knights come with a special fixed ship that gives them a unique play style. Goron, Mau Mau and Parapuna all fit this theme as well. The ships are unique, many of them come with a special unique perk and they're great to use as budget admirals.

As enemies, Aeris also have the traits of being focused on lasers and barriers. Aircraft are devastating against them, as well as AL2 ships.

Sarah Britain
How to obtain:

Suez Method:
 * 1) Capture Eliza by taking over Suez within 3 turns after taking over Arabia.
 * 2) Occupy every territories Aeris owns except London.
 * 3) Initiate Eliza's event called 「静かな拒絶」 (it may be okay to trigger this before step 2 too)
 * 4) Initiate important event called 「先代王エリザの申し出」 (won't appear if 「静かな拒絶」 hasn't been triggered)
 * 5) Capture London. Eliza will persuade Sarah to surrender (you have to beat her senseless before that though)
 * 6) Do an event called 「悩める元女王」and she will join you.

Warp Gate Method: Warp hell beware
 * 1) After taking over Aribia, wait for 3 turns, or just attack Madagascar. If you attack Madagascar, then Suez, you'll enter First Method.
 * 2) Attack any territory adjacent to Paris.
 * 3) Eliza will tell Sarah about the hidden warp gates. They will then randomly attack two of your territories ANYWHERE on the map (much like rebel events) until Aeris falls.
 * 4) There should be an event where Sarah's Queen Elizabeth ship collides with Togo's Nagato warship at a warp gate.
 * 5) After 1 turn, Sarah and Eliza will join you.

Command Points: 480 (510) Skill: None Growth rate: +2%

Comments:
 * Her main ship cannot be removed even with Love, but it is already one of the best ships you can get, so this isn't really a disadvantage. AL2 is often useful, while the ship itself beats the 6th generation Sakigake, and only falls short of the Goku by 60 damage.
 * That being said, her lack of decent bonuses on her other slots and the 210CP of her fixed ship hurt her a bit... Consider taking advantage of her fixed ship's low repair cost and barriers to use her as a tank deployed with submarine admirals. Another laser ship and barrier/radar is usually the way to go. Alternatively, she can equip a couple carriers.
 * If you recruited her with the Warp Gate method, it only takes 1 event to get her +30CP, which is a nice perk

Biography: 19 years old. The 38th Queen of the Aeris empire. She'd been caught up with the duties and ideals of being a queen but hadn't realized what it truly meant to protect the people until she joined the japanese. Tougou helps relieve her stress. Likes bisque dolls. Dislikes black coffee

Eliza Britain
How to obtain: Command Points: 480 (510) Skill: None Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * 1) Suez method: The same as Sarah Britain's Suez method. Do her event A mother who acts when a mother should やる時にはやる母様t Eliza. Note that although you capture Eliza in Suez, you can't recruit her until after conquering London.
 * 2) Warp Gate method: Same as Sarah Britain's.
 * Unlike Koga, who she resembles greatly Eliza has a carrier slot bonus, which is very nice. The lack of a skill, slightly lower CP and HP negative make her no better though. Eliza is outclassed by the UHOS or Gamerican aces, but she's still a very strong admiral and one of Aeris's best.
 * And she comes with a... comms boat, never mind....

Biography: Predecessor of the current Aeris queen and mother of Sarah and Mary. Appears younger than she really is and is very shrewd. Hedonistic. After grieving her husband's passing she's been enjoying free love. Had free time so she became an admiral. Likes romantic love. Dislikes snakes

Mary Britain
How to obtain: After you conquer Arabia wait before conquering South Africa, until a start of turn event occurs where she is stationed there (takes two events). Then attack South Africa and destroy her. Command Points: 390 (420) Skill: English Royalty - Deals 10% damage against Aeris troops Growth rate: +4%

Comments:
 * Her first four events, prerequisites for the last two events, are only available before Aeris falls.
 * If Sarah dies when Aeris falls (capture Eliza, then attack London without doing Eliza's events), she will leave after a few turns.
 * Her fixed ship makes her a rather niche admiral. It gives her high HP, decent radar and anti-fighter potential, making her a tank decent against no-CORE Gamerica in particular. One effective way to use her is to give her a PROV ship in addition to more barrier or other defensive ships (this is quite effective as a duo with Eliza who can do good damage).
 * Mary's great perk is coming with all her slots filled with Aeris ships!
 * The CV Glorious is the only fighter ship you can get from Aeris to my knowledge
 * The CL-DEF Edgar is the 3rd generation version of one of the CL-DEF Dark, which you get from Pluepet. Along with the CW Hurricane, these are the only non-BB class AL1 ships available.

Biography: Sara's bright and spirited younger sister. Has the opposite personality of her sister. Promised to take naps while in the Japanese forces, but being full of curiosity she has no time to sleep. The thing she is most interested in now is Tougou. Likes: tennis, baking. Dislikes: cruel nobles.

Victory Nelson
How to obtain: Can only be recruited if you accepted Japanization plan. Captured if you take over Arabia. Then talk to him twice in event phase to recruit. Command Points: 450 (480) Skill: Vanguard 機先 - Increases attack by 10% if no damage was taken that round Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * A very solid admiral with his CP, skill and slot bonuses. He's pretty flexible because he has all attack bonuses and the radar bonus lends itself well to barrier or sonar ships.
 * The only thing that's disappointing is that as an enemy, Victory is iconic for using barrier ships... and yet he's the only one of the main Aeris admirals whose fixed ship doesn't have a defensive skill...

Biography: An Aeris empire knight and admiral. Saw the ideals of japan and decided to join them to rectify the deep-rooted corruption in Aeris. Is usually cool, but can also be dashing. The first movie he saw was Hori Pottah. Likes: collecting antiques. Dislikes: rum.

John Lawrence
How to obtain: You must first recruit Sarah. If you use the Suez method, select his event. If you used the Warp Gate method, he will automatically join as a start of turn event. Command Points: 420 (450) Skill: White Hand - Attack damage increases by +1% per 100HP of the targeted opponent, rounded down, to a maximum of +30% Growth rate: +2%

Comments:
 * It only takes 2 events to get his +30CP
 * Like the other Aeris admirals, he comes with a fixed ship, which is a double edged sword... on the one hand, its cost effective and useful to have sonar, on the other, it makes him less customizable.
 * His skill sounds complicated, but it's really quite simple to use. Send him into battles and he'll do more damage. In certain cases, his skill can really make a difference, so he's actually a good option for your main invasion team, particularly when facing UHOS.
 * Consider arming him with a laser battleship (a pink hippo or guppy works well in mid-game as well) and a radar or barrier ship. A low CP cost ship can take up his final slot.

Biography: An Aeris empire knight and admiral. Is serious and stiff, but is also a gentleman. Because he swore absolute loyalty to the queen, he won't allow himself to love Sarah. Tells the Japanese military women "I am going to become a monk." Likes: garden mazes. Dislikes: raw fish, raw meat.

Claude Montgomery
How to obtain: Capture Eliza in Suez. After that he will be stationed in North Africa. Occupy North Africa to capture him. Talk to him twice during the event phase. Command Point: 450 (480) Skill: None Growth rate: +2% Comments:
 * Because you must capture Eliza in Suez, Montgomery cannot be recruited on the true routes (Endings 1 or 2). You should probably be focusing on Gamerica or UHOS for those endings anyway, so he would be somewhat redundant anyway.
 * AM1 is... disappointing... at least it has laser damage and his second slot has an attack bonus...
 * Montgomery doesn't really have enough left over CP to be a late game admiral, so just keep him for defence, or use him as a decoy ship paired with Eliza.

Biography: 43 years old. An Aeris empire knight and admiral. A veteran knight who has been serving Eliza. He is also one of Eliza's boyfriends. Spends 90 minutes a day taking care of his beard and thinks that doing so is normal. Likes: taking care of his beard. Dislikes: punk rock.

Parupuna Gekleurde (パルプナ・カラード)
How to obtain: Capture Eliza in Suez. After conquering South Africa talk twice with the ex-South Africa's governor. Command Points: 0 Skill: Monster Princess 怪獣姫 - Regenerate 40% HP per turn (stacks with repair buildings or ships) Growth rate: +6% Comments:
 * Her 4 fixed monster ships are great fun to use, if not exactly great admiral material.
 * As it takes 6 events to get her first slot +20% upgrade... it's not advisable.
 * Clear Bonus Love will remove 3 of the 4 space monsters, but they will disappear, so it's rather pointless.
 * If you don't capture Eliza in Suez, Eliza will ask Montgomery to deploy Parupuna and you it might be possible to fight her, but only if you Eazauna has not yet been defeated (needs confirmation). If we are defeated or retreat without combat she die from the psychic strain of control a space monster too big for her power.

Biography: A South African girl with the ability to control monsters. Was being mistreated until Tougou protected her but she is still confused by her new situation. She is pure and homely. Immediately fell in love with Japanese baths. Likes: anywhere the sun rises. Dislikes: war.

Clione Al Iman
How to obtain: Immediately upon conquering Arabia, you'll be prompted to pay her debts for her to Pluepet if you have more than 10,000 res. Select yes, then do her recruitment event. Command Points: 420 (450) Skill: None Growth Rate: +2% Comments:
 * Clearing her events get you 15,000 res, a small return on paying her debt. It takes 5 events to do it though and the events can't be done immediately after one another... (with 3 H scenes, she's also one of the girls with the most content)
 * Clione is pretty good. She comes with high CP and no fixed ship. Don't worry too much about the negative slots 3 and 4, just use those for skills like anti-sandstorm or anti-cold, or sonar or barriers, etc.
 * Still, it's hard not to compare Clione to Rasshara whoo you can get even earlier. Rasshara fulfils much the same niche (high CP) and doesn't have the negative slots, so is more customizable. Still, Clione is strong, and can use aircraft carriers in late game.

Biography: President of the East India company. Struggling to return the money she owes Tougou for saving her from being sold. Is currently planning to make and sell Mikado-chan merchandise to the European star systems. Likes: effectively bathing her skin. Dislikes: Japanese salary comics.

Goron Eundora
How to obtain: You must conquer Arabia with less than 10,000 res, and you must not destroy him in the invasion. He is mutually exclusive with Clione. Because of the res requirement, you must also ignore the starfield bonus during that gives 10k res during the invasion. Command Points: 90 Skill: G (If his HP is exactly 56, he will do 560% damage) Growth rate: +6% Comments:
 * As you progress his events, he will transform into a girl. He should also get his upgraded fixed ship with 300 laser after a few start of turn events (unconfirmed)
 * Due to the skill self-repair, he's great to use as a decoy, though you're really just saving 100 res each time...
 * Clearing his events allows you to either get his/her HCG or get a +20% bonus to his first slot.
 * Good luck triggering his skill... maybe it's possible with a certain combination of skills if you unlock his other slots using the clear bonus "Love"? Might be hard considering his first slot bonus keeps changing, but if possible, would be quite impressive...

Biography: Although he looks middle aged, he's actually only 20 years old. He was the NEET King of Arabia. After graduating from his virginity, he lost the ability to use magic, but he accepted a position as an admiral in Japan, when Tougou extended it, thinking he was interesting. He shops in Akihabara at least 3 times per week. His greatest concern is the decreasing space in his room. Likes: Banana, Anime. Dislikes: Eroge censorship laws. <br style="clear:both" />
 * Goron Eudora is based on a mix of references, one of them to Endou Gorou the protagonist of another AliceSoft game whose design is very similar, another to Genesis Climber MOSPEADA, an 80s anime, which is the source of his line about 'inbits' and his transformations, as well as Black jack, which he refers to in his female form.

Saffron Veda
How to obtain: Can be recruited after capturing Indocurry Command Points: 360 (390) Skill: (After upgrade) Miracle - no effect Growth Rate: +4% Comments:
 * It takes 5 events to get her +30CP, so this isn't too worth it... You might be interested in getting her 6th event for story purposes, as it is quite major, giving a 2nd HCG, a skill and a CG update... but it requires a Boob Shrine to be built, and the skill doesn't actually do anything, which means there's no reason to do this in a gameplay oriented playthrough...
 * An all-rounder, Saffron isn't really a stand out late game admiral, but she is pretty decent and highly customisable. She's good from the time you get her, which makes her a welcome recruit if you get her early, and she is a fast hitter with her radar/fighter/laser set up, worth leveling with 4% growth, and her 360CP also allows for a good submarine build. She's one of the better Aeris admirals.

Biography: A girl from Indocurry that received a scholarship education from Clione in human resources. She's already been given an excellent position. Alway's calm, except when it comes to improving a certain physical characteristic. Likes antique calculators. Dislikes Poor XXXX

Agni Pushan
How to obtain: After capturing Indocurry, do his first event. Then after you've done Clione's 5th event, talk to Agni again to recruit Command Points: 300 (330) Skill: Growth Rate: +6% Comments:
 * 1) Lady Killer 女殺し - +10% damage when attacking female commanders
 * 2) (After upgrade) Ass Attack おしり攻: Gain +20% attack when targeting women
 * What an event hungry character...
 * He takes 7 events to recruit, and isn't even recruitable if you go for Goron. At least doing Clione's events gets you some cash...
 * If you do his first event after recruitment before Saffron's 6th event, he will leave, so don't do that. Instead, complete Saffron's 6th event (miracle skill obtained) to unlock his character clear. You will then have to do 3 events for his +30CP and a 4th for his skill upgrade
 * After all that trouble... he's essentially an inferior version of Saffron... Theoretically, with his great growth rate and 3 skill slots, he could become a very powerful character, and add onto that his unique Ass Attack, and he can do really high damage... but even if you raise him well, he ends up being awkward since he only has 3 slots, the radar doesn't matter as much with his slow missiles/cannon slots. It's probably better just to use him as a submarine commander, but even like this, his CP isn't enough to really take advantage of aircraft subs in late game. If only he was attainable earlier in the game, he would have been a decent option, as it is, he has an awkward potential that takes too much effort to unlock.
 * He does come with a unique ship though, which are always fun to collect... it's just a 1st generation CL class though...

Biography: A boy from Indocurry who received a scholarship from Clione's human resources company. Having received a terrible shock from being left behind by Clione, he also ended up joining the Japanese navy. His puppy eyes can bring out motherly caring in any woman who lays eyes on him. Likes: cardamom chai. Dislikes: swimming.

Rasshara
Recruitment: Can only be recruited if you accepted Japanization plan. Conquer Tiger of Malay within 3 turns after you take over Manila 2000 AFTER Japanization plan is accepted (capturing Tiger of Malay before the Japanization event happens will make you to miss her for good). Also can no longer be recruited after conquering Madagascar.

Command Points: 390 (420)

Growth rate: +4%

Skill: Revolt suppression: Doubles damage against rebels.

Notes:
 * Will give you a unique ship, CW-Chandler (240HP; 30radar; 240laser; 165CP) once M.Tiger is brought to Peace.
 * The DD-Old style she starts with is actually cheaper than DD-50s, so can help keep your repair costs down
 * Will leave if you let Tiger of Malay's public peace drop below 3 bars twice (each time will have an event).
 * Rasshara is a pretty good admiral, particularly for one you can get so early. Her 390 CP allows for good boat combinations, even substituting with anemone, her first two slots start with positive bonuses and grow by up to +40% and she even gives you 2 ships without having to do her events. It's easy to be put off by her fairly useless skill, but compared to Koo or Hannah who don't even have a skill, she's fairly similar.

Biography: 20 years old. Leader of the Malay Tiger Liberation League. Rejected Aeris rule for the future of her country and joined forces with Japan. Still maintains the pipes she made as a rebel. Inexperienced at love and peaceful living. Likes playing musical instruments (stringed). Dislikes drunkards (they vomit without warning!)

Mau Mau
Recruitment: Do not attack her fleet during the Kenya Battle. You will lose the bonus 30,000 resources.

Command Points: 60 (90)

Skill: "Dogfight Expert" Attack is increased by 10% when HP is below 100%.

Stat Growth: 4% Notes: Biography: Brave queen of the dark people of the kenyan star system. Having fulfilled her desire to overthrow Aeris, she became friends with the japanese and joined them. Her favourite japanese items are paper lanterns, drums and washboards. Likes hammocks. Dislikes rats.

Femu Beko
Command Points: 360 (390)

Recruitment: Select her recruitment event after occupying Vietnam.

Skill: "Local Downpour" - All attacks in the entire battlezone is reduced by 50%. (Includes Allies and Enemies)

Stat Growth: 4% Notes: Biography: A vietnamese girl who is an extremely potent rain woman. Even inside a battleship it will occasionally rain around her. Feels responsible when those around her catch colds. Is refreshed by wearing a floral swimsuit. Likes french bread. Dislikes soggy french bread.
 * Her skill may be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the situation. Carefully consider the situation when fielding her in battle.
 * She can be used in numerous cheap tactics to make hard battles much easier. For example, when invading UHOS the combination of Freezing (-50%) and Downpour (-50%) means opposing forces without "CR" do no damage (-100%). This includes monsters and disasters.
 * An admiral that focuses more on defense and attrition rather than brute force. It may be useful to use her against low hp but hard hitting enemies.
 * Better suited for defense than offense when you're outnumbered and outgunned, or when you have harder hitting weapons (enough to beat them even when reduced by 50%!) but slower than the enemy.
 * Her events only become available after she has participated in one battle.

Shikoku Governor
Recruitment: When taking over Shikoku, annihilate his(?) fleet. Then talk to him in event phase.

Command Points: 270(300)

Skill: "怪獣博士" Monster Doctor: +50% attack when facing Great Monsters

Command Points: 390 (420)

How to obtain: Capture in Suez with capture ship

Skill: None

Growth Rate: +2%

Comments: A generic Aeris admiral with very high command points and a good aircraft stat, recommended to use 2 large carriers accompanied with a radar ship.

Biography: 21 years old. A former Aeris soldier who is single. 3rd daughter of a noble family. Her fiance broke off their arranged marriage. She's obstinate. Tougou was the first to call her cute.

Curry McCurry (aka Curry Cary)
How to obtain: Capture in Indo Curry with capture ship, after entering Ultimate Idol route using the Gamerican method, after Nelson disappears from Indo Curry (usually around when Dokutsu conquers Isejima) and before the map resets. Command Points: 270 (300 -needs confirmation that his CP can be raised) Skill: Frontline Diplomacy - makes it less likely for adjacent planets to launch an attack on you Growth Rate: +2%

Comments:
 * For one of the hardest, most obscure admirals to get in the game... he's really lacklustre.
 * His starting ship is unique, and pretty neat considering the mixed damage, but ultimately loses out compared to similar CL class ships from Gamerica or UHOS.
 * He is best used for his Frontline Diplomacy skill once the Ultimate Idol route map resets, if you don't want to be distracted by battles on a certain front.

Biography: 118 years old. Claims to have remained young by using the alchemy of curry, but this has not been verified scientifically. He is feeling troubled, since he can't find a curry bath in the officer's dorm.

Dekutsch Third Reich Admirals
Theme: Individual geniuses. There's really no consistency among Dokutsu admirals like other nations, but rather each one of them stand out alone in their own niche: Reltih with her Gamerica-like big ship customisability, Doenitz with her quick attack submarine uniqueness, Manstein with his cannon defence and Rommel with his high speed. None of them are alike, and all of them are pretty fun to use in their own niche. Even the less iconic admirals seem to follow this theme.

Reltih Adolf
How to obtain: Accept the triple alliance. Do not save Dokutsu. Finish Ermi Doenitz's two events before Dokutsu falls, then allow Doenitz to return to Berlin. After rescuing Reltih, do Reltih's 2 events involving Tanaka Raizou. Then do Doenitz's event, which unlocks Reltih's recruitment event. Command Points: 540 (570) Skill: None Growth Rate: +2%

Comments:
 * She has the third highest Command Points after Hanny the Admiral and Itou-kakka (technically Shibagami and some others have higher, but they can't use it because of fixed ships).
 * She may be outfitted to suit various situations—such as weather conditions and tough enemy formations. Her only real downside is having no inherent skills, as even her slot bonuses are very good for a high CP commander.
 * With her high CP and her all stat bonus, she is a great candidate for the Habatoto prize ship, if you go for it.
 * Clear bonus Love is usually used on characters that would otherwise be near first rate, but not quite there without it. There are reasons, however, to use it on Reltih. She has 4 slot bonuses, so can take full advantage of the growth rate boost, and although her CP cap doesn't necessarily need an extra boost, it can make her even more customizable, bringing her in line with Itou Kakka. The main reason you might do this is to take advantage of the Yokozuna ship. With 660CP, she can equip the Yokozuna and still have 120CP remaining. It's also effective with the costly Habatoto, leaving her with 375CP for her remaining 3 slots.

Biography: The third reich of Dokutsu's Fuhrer and idol having recovered from the loss of her country, she has joined the Japanese military and is helping them to try create a perfect world. Her commemorative coins have set world records. Likes putting honey in hot drinks. Dislikes embarrassing costumes

Recommended fleet formations: The most powerful carrier fleet in Daiteikoku, the radar ship giving it a decent radar range while the 3 carriers give it an enormous firepower. At 570 command points, she can exchange the x4 carrier for an x9 carrier... if you need 1632 fighter damage for some reason... <br style="clear:both" />

Ermi Doenitz
How to obtain: Sign the tri-pact with Italin and Dokutsu. 2 turns later she will join. Command Points: 360 (390) Skill: None Growth rate: +4%

Comments:
 * Her removable U-boats are weaker than even the initial Japanese submarines, but also obtained earlier. Consider replacing them when the first Japanese subs are researched and you can spare the resources for replacements.
 * Consider equipping them to Tanaka Raizou until you get better subs
 * Her locked ship is unique (in all routes except Ultimate Idol, see VTVN) in that it is a submarine ship with laser (only certain fish units have this) and missile attacks (only some Dokutsu ships have this)
 * After an event the bonus will be upgraded to "All stats +60%." This gives her a significant boost, if not enough to make her as good as other commanders with at least 300 Command Points and better bonus/abilities
 * Although her mid game is weak, with 390CP after clearing Adolf, she can equip 2 type 400 carrier submarines. Along with her improved first slot ship and a jellyfish, she has a pretty good late game with 600 aircraft, 150 lasers, 240 missiles which give her 3 pre-cannon attacks per battle phase

Biography: An admiral that was sent to provide technical assistance after becoming allies with the third reich of Dokutsu. Confused by Japanese culture, but will do her best for Adolf's sake. The Japanese really like girls wearing glasses. Likes: studying, hull maintenance. Dislikes: wasabi <br style="clear:both" />

Eisen Manstein
Command points: 450 (480)

Recruitment: Some turns after Soviet's counterattack against Dekutsch, will attack as a Soviet's admiral (if you're in war with Soviet, of course) after you've taken Chernobyl. Destroy his fleet to capture. Next talk to him in events phase to recruit him. Reltih Adolf must be recruited as an admiral before you do this, also might need to do her first event after recruitment (where she participates in the Japanese Imperial Conference).

Skill: 鉄の城 "Iron Fortress": 30% reduction to damage taken from tekkou

Biography: 38 years old. An old school Dokutsu soldier known as the gray steel bear. After being defeated by the UHOS he was brainwashed to side with them but recovered after reuniting with adolf. Considering applying for secretary of akiba tech. Likes Touring castles. Dislikes lazy people.
 * Growth rate 2%
 * Has a very rare skill that offers defence even against cannons!
 * His flagship is very ugly

El Rommel
Command points: 420 (450)

Recruitment: Avaiable on all routes except Ultimate Idol. Wait until after Dekutsch has fallen (no regions left). Attack North Africa and eliminate the fleet to the extreme left to rescue Rommel, then talk to him to recruit.

Skill: None

Stats at level 0:

Biography: 24 years old. The young field marshall nicknamed the desert fox. was rescued from an Aeris POW camp and joined the japanese military. His Callco colored hair isn't a fashion statement, its a sign of nordic viking blood. Likes board games. Dislikes Honne (true intentions)
 * After clearing all 4 of events, you are able to research a special Rommel battleship. It is one of the two battleships that only costs 135 command points to equip, but otherwise it isn't very good. Also has as much radar as a destroyer.

Recommended fleet formations: This fleet formation requires the rommel battleship which assumes that you have gotten the extra 30 command points too. The laser battleship gives the fleet the bulk of its laser power while the rommel battleships give the fleet its speed, resulting in a high speed, high powered fleet.

Trieste Stettin
Command points: 360

Recruitment: Some time after the Dokutsu route, an event shows manstein disagreeing with Nontsich Himmler and getting executed. She will join you if you select her event in the next event phase. if you field her in battle once, there will have an event which give her skill which +10% against Dokutsu army.

Growth Rate: +2%

Comments: Too bad, I liked Manstein too, not only is she average in command points, she has no ability. The only thing she is better at than Manstein is she doesn't have a fixed ship. Still if you compare her with those generics, she is a bit better.

Biography: 22 years old. Stiff, cold and fastiduous. She is the tactician known as the iron woman. Unable to forgive the death of her beloved manstein, she is determined to fight against Dokutsu. The first japanese snack she received was grilled katayaki. Likes baumkuchen (tree cake). Dislikes rodents.

VTVN
Command points: 390 (420)

Recruitment: He can be captured in two different places after entering the Ultimate Idol route: a) when he attacks Chicago X from Washington or b) when he attacks USJ from Chicago X. Then complete his first event.

Growth Rate: +2%

Comments:
 * No skill...
 * Essentially acts as an inferior Yamamoto/Koga with similar bonuses and less CP
 * The U-Boat Type XXI that he comes with is similar to Doenitz fixed ship, and can be unequipped, giving you access to laser/missile subs.

Biography: 44 years old. An artist and inventor. He is Adolf's tutor, but until Adolf truly blossomed, he himself was known as Dokutsu's greatest genius. Seeing as his charge has strayed from her path, VTVN joined the Japanese navy to set her straight. Currently composing the symphony "Daiteikoku".

Kettenkrad
Command points: 330 (360)

Recruitment: Capture him in Ultimate Idol route with the prison ship when attacking Madarascal.

Growth Rate: +2% Skill: Roar

Comments: Despite being a generic capture, he has the skill Roar, making him a very useful commander.

Biography: 19 years old. Ex-Dokutsu military. Single. An unexpectedly clumsy man from Dokutsu, he has their traditional frank character. Thanks to Adolf's economic reforms, he was able to graduate from school, so he has always felt grateful towards her.

Wirbelwind
Command points: 360 (390)

Recruitment: In the Ultimate Idol route, use the prison ship to capture her in Kateringrad.

Growth Rate: +2% Skill: Self-made Air Defense

Comments: Her 'Self-made Air Defense' skill gives her -50% damage from Aircraft, similarly to Unagi's laser defence. Although this would generally be a game breaking skill, it's not necessarily of much use vs Dokutsu. Still, she can be a very strong commander if used correctly because of this skill. ... if only she was available in normal games...

Give her AA2 and pair her with submersible admirals against aircraft heavy enemy formations. As a plus, since levelling her is irrelevant (just give her non-aircraft attacks), you can keep her in reserve for specific battles.

Biography: 26 years old. Ex-Dokutsu military. Single. As the female officer who had the highest performance in shooting, she was admired and feared at her military college. Loves beer... but is plastered after 2 pints.

The Republic of Itarin
Theme: If there's a theme to Itarin, it's incompetence... Yuri is just an exception with her pretty decent build. Gotta love the carnival ships though.

Muccillini Venice
Command Points: 330 (360)

How to obtain: Conquer Italy and free her with an event

Skill: Peace

Growth Rate: +4%

Comments:

Biography: 20 years old. Leader and idol of the Itarin republic. Was chased from her position and confined to a small village, but was living there happily. Joined japan after a scout found her. Specializes in risotto and character bento. Likes cooking, rice cakes. Dislikes thunder

Yuri Julius
How to obtain: Command Points: 420 (450) Skill: Forestall - +10% damage when undamaged Growth Rate: +4%
 * 1) Normally: Capture during invasion of Roma
 * 2) Dokutsu Route: Defeat Julius when she invades from Rome.

Comments:
 * Yuri comes with all 4 slots filled, giving you a bunch of unique ships. Additionally, her Italin ships have slightly higher Radar than other ships of the same generation, though they are unfortunately 2nd generation which makes them not so useful at this point.
 * She is somewhat similar to Quattro, with a high radar+vanguard+all stats combo, but has much more CP, but an admittedly weaker fixed ship

Biography: An Italin admiral that is a descendant of the holy roman empire that preceded it. Had a headache due to muccillini's ridiculous regime. Relieved now that she has joined japan. Wants to contact her relatives. Out of touch with romance. Likes Appreciating paintings. Dislikes taking naps. <br style="clear:both" />

Boobin Pao
How to obtain: Capture with a capture ship in Roma on Ultimate Idol route after recruiting Yulius Command points: 300 Skill: Revolt Suppression - Double damage when fighting rebels Growth Rate: +2%

Comments:
 * Like the other 2 generics from the black bikini squad... you get these for the challenge of recruiting them, to proudly say you recruited the black bikini squad, and because you can collect their unique fixed ships... otherwise, you get them too late for them to mean anything...
 * Maybe add them as custom admirals to a new game for fun?
 * Note that all the Black Bikini Squad members look the same.

Biography: 18 years old. Used to be an admiral in the Italin navy's Black Bikini Squad. Although she isn't the best at commanding ships, none are better when it comes to being a stripper. Every month, she had earnings in the double digits.

Pussylin Tomato

Biography: 18 years old. Used to be an admiral in the Italin navy's Black Bikini Squad. Although she isn't the best at commanding ships, none are better when it comes to sending out e-promotions. After joining the Japanese navy, she sought out Tougou to get permission to start going to school. She now has the reputation of looking even hotter in a school uniform.

Biography: 18 years old. Used to be an admiral in the Italin navy's Black Bikini Squad. Although she isn't the best at commanding ships, none are better when it comes to reciting Pi. That being said, she doesn't know what to do with the knowledge of so many digits of Pi... She's a big fan of Japanese food with a bit of added tomato sauce.

The Kingdom Of Espana
Theme: men vs women. Pick your side.

Felipe espana
Command Points: 420

How to obtain: Agree to assist felipe in the conversation choice then invade spain

Skill: Woman-Killer

Growth Rate: +2%

Comments:

Biography: 27 years old. Lord of the kingdom of espana. Beat rosa in a lover's quarrel and is now enjoying life as a chauvanistic husband. Doesn't care if she has a relationship with Tougou as he'll be raising the japanese woman's voices 3x. Likes bullfighting, beautiful women. Dislikes reflecting on things.

Rosa Espana
Command Points: 390 (420)

How to obtain: Agree to assist Rosa in the conversation choice then invade spain.

Skill: Man-Killer

Growth Rate: +2%

Comments:

Biography: 26 years old. Wife of Espana's ruler. After winning their lover's quarrel she made him reflect on it, and now they are trying to change their relationship. Her and Keiko are popular as big sisters. Her cooking school is popular.

Aztec Empire
Theme: great barriers. Don't use lasers against them... And look at those AL3 ships on Nozomi. The only other recruitable has nothing to do with barriers though, and is a building related bonus character, so should just be thought of separately.

Nozomi Takeda
How to obtain: Occupy Aztec and do her events in the event phase until her h-scene. After a few turns, her recruitment event will appear. The events will expire after a while, so you should do them quickly after conquering Amazon if you want her. Command Points: 0 Skill: Goddess - Recovers 40% of maximum HP every turn instead of 10%. Growth rate: 4% Notes:
 * Dual super barriers makes her practically immune to any laser attacks save for a few space disasters. Field her against laser heavy armies.
 * Possess high stat modifiers but subpar ships. Easy to maintain though and can be fairly powerful in the right circumstances.
 * Using the "Love" clear bonus on her will unlock her 2nd slot (but not the 1st), allowing you to equip other admirals with the 0 CP Great barrier ship.

Biography: A Japanese girl that was being worshipped by the aztecs. Became an admiral after the hannys lost interest now that she isn't a virgin. Wanted to quickly start wearing japanese uniforms but rumor is there's a conspiracy to prevent that. Likes tofu miso soup. Dislikes aztec divination.

Hanny The Admiral
How to obtain: Build 5 Eroge companies and select his recruitment event. Command points: 960 Skill: None Growth rate: +6% Comments:
 * Hanny The Admiral has 960 command points, which puts him far above the second highest, Itou Kakka, with 570, and the 3rd place Reltih with 540 (570 when cleared) (Technically, Shibagami/Mikado also have 960... but their fixed ship is a ridiculous cost and can't be removed with the Love bonus, so they don't really count...)
 * Between his CP and no fixed ship, Hanny is... still good despite those slot minuses... if only it didn't take all 5 Eroge companies to recruit him...
 * Considering the difficulty recruiting him, the fact you only get him late game, and then have to level him to reduce those slot penalties, he's... well, still useful for the secret bosses, like Ghost Hanny (Amazon) and Gawatsgar Vu (Shikkoku), but little else. Provided you aren't going for the hidden bosses... he's not worth it.
 * That being said, it is tons of fun to use a Kaneda+Battleship+Large carrier+Cannon ship... Or the Sumo ship + 2 battleships and a radar ship... the flexibility he has is dreamy.

Biography: A hanny that volunteered after being inspired by the army that supports humble eroge companies. By a freak coincidence he was selected to live in the women's dorm. Looking forward to it.

Northern Colonies
Theme: The vikings are essentially chaotic. They all have mixed but low damage, they feel rough but also somewhat domineering. Aelfhild definitely takes on those aspects in her slot bonuses and skill.

Ælfhild
How to obtain: A few turns after she's introduced, she'll randomly attack one of your territories (the algorithm chooses a territory that is not bordering an enemy planet - so if you don't have many planets, she'll often appear in Chun). Annihilate her entire force (if there's even one survivor, she won't be captured and attack again later) to capture her. If you fail to capture her on the first turn she appears, you can do so on the following turn (she'll disappear after 2 attacks). After capturing her, talk to her twice to recruit. Command points: 330 (360) Skill: Massive Rampage 大あばれ - Peace level of the planet she's stationed at will not recover whatsoever (same effect as Higuchi) Growth rate: 4% Comments:
 * Note that if you do not defeat her when she attacks 2-3 times, you will, instead, unlock an event to research the Pink Hippopotamus ship. The Pink Hippo is similar to a BB-50, but is equippable for 150CP instead of 180CP
 * Fairly powerful admiral with 3 types of bonuses. Because her fixed ship takes 180CP, however, you only have 150 CP left, which makes them hard to use effectively.
 * Because of her skill, she's unfortunately best relegated to defence. That being said, the fixed ship makes her cheap to repair, so she's convenient to have in a defensive team.

Biography: Pirate who was previously the nordic union's princess. Was hard at work as a pirate when she was captured by the Japanese military, and the vile pervert Tougou made her a sex slave (her side of the story). Her legend will continue to grow in the future.

Soap Kingdom
Theme: mirror. We don't even fight Soap, just monsters occupying their kingdom, while there is only one recruitable. Mel, it is safe to say, embodies a unique chameleon mechanic though, which also seems to be a motif in related events.

Mel To Laden
Command Points: 450

Recruitment: Conquer Turkey once they become hostile (after taking over Suez). Autojoins after that (no need to talk).

Skill: COPY: Copies and obtains the skills of the general stationed in the same star (?)

Stats at level 0:

Biography: Leader of the soap empire. With the destruction of the forbidden box, the monster attacks in the turkey system stopped, giving her the chance to come to japan. She's searching space to find out who she is. Her favourite jelly is soda jelly. Likes soda jelly and starry skies. Dislikes Ulro (steamed cake)
 * Growth rate + 6%
 * Her country is actually not hostile, the territory is marked as hostile as Turkey is overrun with monsters and the "Forbidden Box" that spawns space monsters. War against Turkey begins when she requests you to destroy the monsters and the box.
 * She seems quite weak at several occasions, but upon achieving higher levels, and considering the skill she copies, she can be the deadliest weapon of all. Her stats will be a small increase at high levels, and if she copies Tongou's "Supreme Art of War", or Katherine or Mirja's friends ability, the boost would be very high. However, the copy is luck-based, so it is highly unreliable.
 * One way of controlling her COPY ability is to station her with an admiral until she copies the skill and then isolating her in a single star. Her skill will be locked in and won't revert back to COPY until you station her with someone else. (On my test, the skill lasted for 10+ turns without changing back)
 * With high command points, she is one of the few admirals who can put in 3 aircraft carriers and get away with it. although at the start, her damage will be hindered by her stats but at level 10, she can turn out to be one of the most powerful carrier commanders.

Yuan
Theme: Only one recruitable here too, but both Coyote and Yuan as a whole have the theme of cannon damage. Tanaka would fit right at home here.

Coyote Mararu
Command points: 300 (330)

Recruitment: Joins after you defeat the Yuan. After that, talk to her once to recruit.

Skill: 爆走 "Roaring Engines" Allows for 2 movements between star regions instead of 1.

Stats Growth: 4%


 * Very similar to Tanaka Raizou, she is also a Tekkou focused character with Roaring Engines.
 * Unfortunately, due to her first locked slot, she is unable to be used as a submarine commander.
 * One of her events increases Raizou's command points.
 * Due to her high growth rate, having all 4 of her ships be Tekkou is generally overkill. You may wish to use the 2nd slot (which is Radar bonus) for something else, like a Barrier ship.
 * Biography: A girl from the nation of nomads that suddenly disappeared. While she's been trying to learn the whereabouts of her missing khan she suspects she won't find him. whichever team she is on will win the next athletic meet, so she is being lobbied. Likes khoomii (overtone singing). Dislikes wolves.

Kingdom of O'France
Theme: underdogs. As enemies, O'France is just a joke... but Charlotte and her skill give her great potential against those stronger than her, which is pretty neat.

Charlotte Partheney
How to obtain: You must a) be on Japanification plan, b) saved Dokutsu (conditions for Ultimate Idol) c) seen the event where Charlotte is brought away by O'France soldiers, d) conquer Madarascal before the map updates for Ultimate Idol. Note that this will not be possible if Dokutsu conquers Paris (thus also conquering Madarascal), so you must save Dokutsu before Aeris retakes Paris. Command Points: 150 (240) Skill: (After events) Birume　- +1% Damage for every 10 HP under the target enemy (maximum +100%). Stats Growth: +6%

Comments:
 * After her 2nd event, put her in battle and she gains 30 Command Points and the Birume Skill (Birume, the name of her skill, is Birume Miya, the buxom cat woman who appears in Madarascal)
 * Doing her 4th and 5th events also raise her Command Points by 30 each, bringing her to a still sub-par 240.
 * A strong candidate for the "Love" clear bonus, as you can bring her up to 330CP, and maximise her skill's potential, and also unlock her 4th slot.
 * Birume can be a very good skill, essentially functioning like Katherine's 'Friends', another Love clear bonus candidate who cannot be recruited on Ultimate Idol route. You can take greater advantage of the +100% damage by having 330CP, making her a potentially great admiral.
 * Note Charlotte, like Katherine, is only useful if you focus on levelling her. Make sure to deploy her as much as possible with an admiral with EDU (as you can't get both Charlotte and Goepe, this means Nagumo or cleared Isabelle)
 * As she is only available in Ultimate Idol, her shining moment of glory is against the space monster Zalamander, using 4 subs. She can do double damage, dealing over 4000 damage in one hit. Otherwise, or without Love, you might want to consider farming some Cliones from Laguri to arm her with low HP fighter damage for low CP cost.

Biography: 21 years old. A representative of the previous king of O'France. Although she has grown up in obliviousness to the duties of aristocrats of her heritage, she has begun to develop an appreciation of her responsibilities after being saved by Birume during the revolt. Now that she has become an admiral in the Japanese navy, she puts all her efforts towards learning her new role.

Pluepet Mercenaries
Theme: Single damage sale. You get what you pay for: lasers or missiles.

Visuberu
Command Points: 270 (300)

Recruitment: Talk to Pluepet during event phase. After a few turns, his shop opens in the event phase. Choose his event and pick the first option to recruit her (2nd option is Alps), paying 100 resources. She can also be recruited after buying Pluepet's 10,000 resource ship for 10 resources.

Skill: None

Stats Growth: 2%

Biography: A mercenary hired through the purupet trading company. Just wants to save up money by doing various things, but she's frequently idle. Due to her losses, she has to give up her downtown apartment (family type) in japan. Likes money making ideas. Dislikes bread crusts.
 * WILL LEAVE AFTER FIELDING HER 10 TIMES IN BATTLE. TO PREVENT THIS, MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETE ALL HER EVENTS BEFORE SHE LEAVES.
 * Starts out with extremely powerful laser slots making her ideal with high-attack laser ships (such as the laser battleships).
 * Completing her events raises command points by 30

Alps
Command points: 270 (300)

Recruitment: Talk to Pluepet during event phase. After a few turns, his shop opens in the event phase. Choose his event and pick the second option to recruit her (1st option is Visber), paying 100 resources. She can also be recruited after buying Pluepet's 10,000 resource ship for 10 resources..

Skill: None.

Stats Growth: 2%

Biography: A mercenary hired through the purupet trading company. Working hard to raise money for her sick mother and younger brothers. she's been to 8 post offices across the universe and the people at the windows always tell her to marry their sons. Likes analog mail service. Dislikes trading company employment regulations.
 * WILL LEAVE AFTER FIELDING HER 10 TIMES IN BATTLE. TO PREVENT THIS, MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETE ALL HER EVENTS BEFORE SHE LEAVES.
 * If her events are completed successfully, she will still leave after the assorted amount of battle participations, but return after a few turns.
 * You need to let her get destroyed 3-4 times during offensive battles (each time a scene will occur during which she loses more and more clothing) in order to get her final event, which makes it harder to clear her. Also, if she is destroyed too many times, she will leave prematurely.
 * The Missile version of Visuberu, but her bonus spread is honestly worse, even if to offset the fact that missiles are stronger in general. Maybe she is useful if you need some extra power trying to take down Rabaul, but you should probably get Visuberu instead.

Shira Shimeru (史羅 〆)
(Appears to be mistranslated as Fumira in the translation patch.)

Recruitment: Get True Ending 1, then choose 大帝国広報担当 in the event phrase

Command points: 300

Skill: 岩砕木 (this is her bodyguard) - Decreases damage from cannons by 30%

Notes Biography: Same age as mikado. Has been serving as a low ranking maid for 2 years, but when outside the palace, she is actually a high society heir with her own bodyguard. She was picked to be a spokeswoman for Daiteikoku because of her skills personally gathering intel and because she worries about mikado. She loves Mikado a bit too much.
 * Growth rate +4%
 * They are the maids that serve the Empress.
 * Kind of useless. 300 command points is lower than Custom Admirals, all Radar bonus is redundant and her special ability isn't great without anything else to back her up. (TsuchiNoKao's note: Don't underestimate radar bonuses. She starts right away with +10% bonuses, and can get up to +50%. Radar is one of the most important bonuses to economize on shipbuilding, particularly early in the game when few ships have high radar. Works great with fish ships.)
 * Her dress will be changed to a maid uniform on the Japanization route (purely aesthetic change) after a start of turn event

Astro Panda
Command Points: 300

Recruitment: Get True Ending 2, then pick 意外と目は怖い at event phrase.

Skill: 前線外交 "Frontline Diplomacy" - Same as Ugaki Sakura.

Trivia: Along with the other Astro clear bonus commanders, they first appeared as characters in Daiakuji with the exact same picture.
 * Growth rate +2%
 * Very good on Japanization routes because you can only get 1 Frontline Diplomacy character there. Even on non-Japanization, it is still a powerful ability
 * Slot bonuses are a little hard to use due to his low command points. He probably doesn't have enough power to break through most planet defense forces but putting 1 battleship/2 cruisers and 2 barrier ships and he can do good at defense with his skill.

Astro Cat
Command Points: 480

Recruitment: Get Ending 3 (The Best Gift), then pick 空中三千回転 at event phrase.

Skill: None


 * Growth rate +1%
 * Extremely high Command Points (only certain characters like Adolf are higher) which means it has a use even compared to Custom Admirals. However, bonus and growth rate are so low they might as well be non-existent. This also means you don't have to worry about levelling him up though, and can just use him when you need him.

Astro Monkey
Command Points: 180

Recruitment: Get Ending 4 (Date with Everyone), then pick クリア特典進化の時 at event phrase.

Skill: None


 * Growth rate +10%
 * Very high growth rate but low command points means it is hard to raise it to that point. Without fishes, the best you can do is a Pocket Battleship or Aircraft in a slot, and a Cannon ship in another slot. 0 cost fish ships are nice on this guy but everyone else wants them too so it's hard to justify giving fishes to him.

Astro Corgi
Command Points: 360

Recruitment: Get Ending 5 (Together with Mikado), then pick もふもふ要員その２ (An emperor's privilege) at event phrase.

Skill: None

Biography: A proud short legged space corgi. Found by shibagami. Somehow they managed to bond.
 * Growth rate +8%
 * The negative bonus aren't as bad as they look, you can just think of them as empty slots as long as you arrange your ships properly. Once you reach level 4 they become bonuses. An okay character, probably better than a lot of early game characters such as Rinfa and Ranfa.

Hapsburg Lady
How to obtain: Get Ending 8 (Ultimate Idol), then pick the event Friend or foe 敵かな味方かな during the event phrase. Command Points: 360 Skill: CapableP 敏腕P - Increases all allies damage in the current battle zone by 10% (stacks with Tougo/Scarlett's skill) Growth rate: +2%

Comments:
 * It's Goebbels with a wig, but she doesn't have any events, which is a shame...
 * Her skill is great, (the same as Tougou at the start) and stacks with his. Her CP cap is also decent, and her slot bonus is great.
 * But... having only 1 slot is a major pain, because it makes her really fragile. Try:
 * A battleship, especially barrier ships or the first super battleship, Yamato (at exactly 360 command points)
 * A submarine, which will allow her to stay safe from attacks.
 * A fish ship that is cheap to repair (Boss or Aoxotl are both decent picks, because of their high damage and Aoxotl's AM1)
 * She's one of the best candidates for the Love clear game bonus:
 * With 4 unlocked slots, a CP cap of 450, +70% all stats in her first slot at level 10 and her skill (which does +87% when combined with her first slot for her first slot damage), she is immediately powerful and pretty decent even in late game.
 * She will fall off in late game though. Love would probably work better by late game on some other admirals with all 4 slot bonuses instead of 1, and she doesn't have anything that Tougou can't do better. Still, she's one of the best candidates since you can get her at start of game and she's immediately powerful, while by mid-game, the value of Love's bonus drops off, since you get good admirals anyway.
 * Even in late game, her skill is arguably more valuable (+10% is more damage on late game firepower) and she'll have the CP to equip 3 fighter submarines, which, with her first slot bonus, makes her a force to contend with

Biography: 23 years old. It is unknown whether this mysterious beauty is friend or foe. It's hard to put the suit on so it may take a while for her to come after calling her. Likes: Adolf a bit too much.
