The Abyssal Fleet (深海棲艦, Shinkaisei-kan; lit. "Deep-Sea Ships"), also known as the Abyssal Ships or simply the Abyssals, are a race of monster ships and the main antagonists of Kantai Collection. They serve as the evil counterpart to the Fleet Girls.
Biography[]
The Abyssals are the opponents faced by the player's fleet. The print spin-offs put forward the idea that they are an alien menace, and what is more is that they are utterly hostile to humanity as a whole, plaguing the world's shipping lanes with unprovoked attacks. Abyssal Ships, especially humanoid ones, are generally and constantly designed with pale skin, glowing blue, red or yellow eyes, weapons and armor (save the rare occasions such as with Abyssal Jellyfish Princess who is based on a living thing rather than a ship or land building).
While popular fan theory proposes that Abyssal Ships, particularly its more humanoid members, are actually just turned Fleet Girls like ship-ships. the Summer 2014/Aleutians-Midway Event adds even more speculation fuel as it has obliquely hinted through their lines that Midway Princess and Aircraft Carrier Demon/Princess are dark reflections of Akagi and Kaga, respectively. Also, the 2014 Fall Event in Western New Guinea implies that Aircraft Carrier Water Demon is Shoukaku's dark side. Another popular fan theory hints that Abyssals are just an eldritch undersea race. And some theories propose that the Abyssal Fleet is another sentient (and sapient) race on Earth similar to humans living underground and/or in the deep sea, an extraterrestrial race, or a series of failed bioweapons who became the progenitors of Shipgirls.
