★ marks the higher rarity. Higher rarity usually means a stronger ceiling, but the right pick depends on the passive and ability below.
Admiral Thorn
legendary Admiral
Admiral Thorn is the Terran Federation's foremost practitioner of coordinated fleet fire — a veteran of thirty years and sixty engagements who pioneered the simultaneous salvo doctrine that has since been adopted, adapted, and unsuccessfully replicated by every other faction's naval command. He does not lead from the front or the rear. He coordinates from the center, maintaining line-of-sight to every ship in the fleet, and the moment the moment is right, everything fires at once.
Passive bonus
All ships in the fleet gain +15% weapon damage when firing in the same combat round as at least three other fleet vessels. Coordinated attack bonuses stack up to four times. Fleet-wide ammunition efficiency improves by 20%, extending sustained engagement capacity.
Ability — Coordinated Salvo180s cooldown
Every ship in the fleet fires simultaneously in a single perfectly synchronized volley, dealing 400% combined damage to the primary target. Secondary targets within range receive 150% damage from the shockwave. Cannot be dodged or partially intercepted.
Admiral Helena Voss
legendary Admiral
Admiral Helena Voss rose from a junior tactical officer on a Federation destroyer to the commanding admiral of the First Expeditionary Fleet in under twenty years — a record no one has come close to matching. Her signature doctrine of layered formation tactics, where every ship class reinforces the others' weaknesses in real time, has turned Federation fleets she commands into something significantly greater than the sum of their parts.
Passive bonus
All fleet ships gain +12% movement speed and +8% weapon fire rate when operating within the same sector as Admiral Voss. Carrier-class vessels under her command produce support drones 20% faster.
Ability — Vanguard Formation120s cooldown
All fleet ships gain +20% weapon fire rate and +15% movement speed for 30 seconds. Ships that fall below 30% hull automatically reposition to the rear.
Which Commander Should You Run?
Both commanders share the same rarity, so the decision comes down to their passives and abilities above. Match the Admiral Thorn's or Admiral Helena Voss's bonus to whatever your fleet currently lacks, and weigh how each is acquired.
