These terms are commonly used in fleet operations, tactical discussions, and character dialogue—especially among shipgirls with combat or leadership roles. Rigging refers to the physical equipment manifested by shipgirls in combat, representing the armaments, armor, propulsion, and technological features of their historical ship counterparts. While shipgirls appear human, rigging is the means by which they channel their naval power into battle. It typically manifests as mechanical gear floating or attached to the shipgirl's body, including cannons, torpedo launchers, aircraft catapults, and radar arrays. The design and configuration of rigging vary by ship class (e.g., destroyers, battleships, carriers) and may reflect upgrades or retrofits. Rigging also enhances the shipgirl’s speed, durability, and offensive capabilities, enabling them to move over water and engage enemies with heavy firepower. Outside of combat, rigging can be dismissed or minimized at will, allowing shipgirls to blend more naturally into daily life. However, in battle or when threatened, rigging deploys automatically as an extension of the shipgirl's will and combat instinct. The Commander, also known as "Shikikan" (指揮官) in Japanese, is the player’s in-universe persona and the leader of the Azur Lane fleet. Tasked with coordinating and directing shipgirls during battles against the Sirens and other threats, the Commander is responsible for strategizing fleet movements, managing resources, and fostering relationships with shipgirls. Though revered and respected, the Commander’s personality, demeanor, and leadership style vary depending on the individual. Shipgirls often see the Commander as a figure of authority, guidance, and sometimes a confidant, but initial interactions may be formal or cautious until trust is built. The Commander’s decisions heavily influence the outcome of battles and the morale of the fleet, making them a pivotal figure in the ongoing conflict.
