ROKS BULGASARI (BBG-01) is coming soon!

What comes to mind when you think of mythical creatures? Most people immediately picture the classics of European legend: unicorns, phoenixes, minotaurs, or the kraken lurking in the deep. Eastern folklore, on the other hand, remains largely uncharted territory for many—its legends are mostly known only to locals or dedicated connoisseurs of Asian culture.

And that is a shame: the Eastern bestiary is breathtaking in both scale and imagination, home to creatures far more bizarre than even the familiar kitsune, kumiho, or qilin.

Preamble aside, let's get straight to the main event: a warship named after a mythical Korean beast possessing the body of a bear, the trunk of an elephant, the eyes of a water buffalo, the tail of a cow, and the paws of a tiger.

Historical Background

ROKS BULGASARI (BBG-01) inherits the name of one of the most formidable entities in Korean folklore—a moniker literally meaning "the unkillable." According to legend, this beast possessed an insatiable hunger for metal: starting with humble sewing needles, it moved on to scythes, swords, shields, and arrowheads, swelling to cyclopean proportions with every scrap of iron it consumed. Enemy armies could not inflict the slightest harm on the monster; hostile arsenals only fueled its rampage, transforming the giant into an indestructible juggernaut.

This modern experimental battleship is the living embodiment of that ancient myth clad in steel armor. Like the legendary creature, this titan is engineered to absorb staggering amounts of punishment and soak up enemy fire, grinding down opposing assaults through unmatched survivability. Within the battle fleet, the ship acts as an impregnable bastion—one whose heavy armor and crushing salvos can stand up to even the most devastating calibers.

Gameplay

What can you expect from this Korean giant on the battlefield? The battleship lives up to its mythical namesake in every way: boasting a class-leading HP pool, it empowers commanders to play aggressively, brushing off stray missile hits or aerial bombs without missing a beat.

A layered defense turns the ship into an unbreachable citadel. In addition to four customizable air defense slots, the battleship comes factory-fitted with a quartet of Cheongwang Block 1 laser defense systems, equipped with overcharged emitters and an advanced cooling system. As an added bonus, two auxiliary autocannon mounts can be swapped out to reinforce your air defense umbrella or shore up anti-submarine capabilities. Not that hostile subs get an easy pass anyway: two torpedo tubes and an onboard MUH-1 Marineon helicopter are more than ready to hunt down and eliminate undersea threats.

Yet the true heart of any battleship lies in its guns, and here she delivers in full force. A classic three-turret layout housing K-406L/50 (406 mm) main guns combines a solid rate of fire with enviable accuracy—the mere sight of these massive barrels swinging toward an enemy is enough to put them on edge. Keeping up the pressure between heavy salvos, seven rapid-firing K-76L/62B (76 mm) mounts continuously pepper the target with high-explosive shells. If the enemy attempts to keep their distance, three launchers armed with Hycore hypersonic missiles will quickly close the gap. And should tactical needs dictate, they can be readily swapped out for any other anti-ship missiles before heading into battle.
