Rig Protection

Rig Protection New Battlefield Michael Choi describes divers defending offshore energy platforms from underwater undead. Technology Atmospheric Diving Suits protect bodies from pressure and bites. Mission Industrial infrastructure must continue operating even beneath hostile water.

Troll Swarm

Troll Swarm Ambush A swarm surrounds divers at a Norwegian platform. Blindness Silt, darkness, and suit insulation remove ordinary senses. Reform Civilian workers demand better protection before returning to the sea.

Beachhead Nets

Beachhead Nets Diversion Ships use active sonar to draw undead away from landing beaches. Barrier Underwater nets create a protected corridor for amphibious forces. Limitation The tactic works because the enemy is attracted, not because it understands the trap.

Harbor Clearing

Harbor Clearing Wreckage Divers enter sunken ships, crushed vehicles, and debris-filled channels. Close Combat Every compartment becomes a dark room where undead may be waiting. Strategic Value Opening ports reconnects the surviving world to trade and transport.

The Ocean Floor

The Ocean Floor Reconnaissance Michael Choi tracks remaining undead instead of eliminating them all. Persistence Saltwater, pressure, and time fail to explain their continued existence. Unfinished War The sea preserves a threat that civilization has not yet learned to finish.
