Recent years have seen the Soviet Union pursuing an aggressive policy towards all perceived threats to its waterways, including the sinking of numerous civilian cargo ships and passenger liners. Emblematic of this attitude is the Akula- class Attack Sub, a stealthy and deadly undersea killer that is often held up as a symbol of Soviet aggression. For all of its notoriety, however, details about the Akula were largely a mystery until an Allied convoy in the Mediterranean found an abandoned Akula sub wreckage.

| - Recent years have seen the Soviet Union pursuing an aggressive policy towards all perceived threats to its waterways, including the sinking of numerous civilian cargo ships and passenger liners. Emblematic of this attitude is the Akula- class Attack Sub, a stealthy and deadly undersea killer that is often held up as a symbol of Soviet aggression. For all of its notoriety, however, details about the Akula were largely a mystery until an Allied convoy in the Mediterranean found an abandoned Akula sub wreckage. After being transported to the nearest Allied naval base the engineers stationed there, along with the repair drones the sub was reconstructed based on photographs and crude blueprints found on the field. Through this many details about the Akula sub were discovered. Based on the highly efficient tesla reactors found on board that are presumed to run on the sea-water, it is believed that the submarine is meant to run for many months and even to many years at a time. Due to the unimaginably long periods of time sailors have to stay at sea the Akula's crew quarters are of relatively high standards with the rear having a glass panoramic roof. Based on the size and shape of the firing chamber and loader found on the sub the Akula seems to fire the powerful RU-7 torpedo, feared on the field for it's immense power and rapid chambering time, the torpedo is more than enough to rip through the incredibly heavy armour of the Allied assault destroyer. Despite this Soviet engineers felt the requirement to equip the Akula sub with the incredibly destructive RU-20 torpedo. This torpedo is capable of leveling many structures found in the ocean, and even if it fails to level a structure the immediate fire of the RU-7 torpedoes surely will. Despite the power the RU-20 does take a long time to re-arm after use. Intercepted radio transmissions from the Akula have sprinkled some light on life inside the sub, along with the captured vessel have also given a glimpse of life. It seems that the quarters are of high standard with crew easily being able to survive for the required periods of time, the captains are chosen from high ranks with disciplinary experience to ensure the crew work at maximum efficiency. Food seems to be stored on the ship and enough is presumed to be stored to last at least 10 months before needing to be restocked. The deck contains state of the art sonar and radar that can detect enemies from a large distance and other than cramped quarters the deck is suitable for combat operations.
