In 1950, the Soviet Union officially surrendered to the German Reich after years of stalemate and gradual pushback due to the Fall of Moscow, the capture of Stalingrad and by extension, the Caucauses, and the morale-crushing blow of the falling of the revolution's capital, Leningrad. After the defeat at Samara, the Soviet Union was pushed beyond the Urals, with both sides unable to cross. It is during this anarchy that the Japanese Empire declared war on the Soviets. With the Polar Fleet destroyed during the capture of Murmansk, the Pacific Fleet stood alone against the Japanese onslaught, and was massacred at the battles of Vladivostok and Magadan, two weeks apart. Over two/thirds of their manpower was destroyed and ships had to be abandoned because there was no one to man them, most of the remaining citizens going to the Army. This month of defeat was known as Bloody May. On the second anniversary of Bloody May, the Pacific Fleet, standing with barely a third of their remaining strength, rusts in the small harbor of Petropavlovsky-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka, and plans their next move.
