! Canon Characters

[[folder: Systems Alliance]]

!! Commander Stephen Hackett
Adjutant to Admiral Nagato aboard Yokosuka Station. It's noted that, had be not been constantly screwed over by a particularly unfriendly member of the Mikhailovich kanmusu-family, he would be commanding a fleet by now.
* CommandingCoolness: Although a bit of a downgrade from his canon station.
* ForWantOfANail: Certain members of the {{Nepotism New Nobility,}} the descendants of kanmusu, have conspired to destroy this otherwise promising officer's career - at least for now.
* NumberTwo: To [[BigGood Admiral Nagato]] in the first two arcs.

!! Admiral Kastanie Drescher
Shepard's commander during her brief time fighting in the First Contact War. Drescher was killed when dreadnought!Shepard's keel snapped and her drive core went up, although a "shade" of her does exist in kanmusu!Shepard's subconscious.
* ActionMom: Left two children behind when the ''Shepard'' was destroyed.
* CoolOldLady
* FourStarBadass
* FrontlineGeneral
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: She [[LampshadedTrope says as much]] at the end of Shepard's dream after Torfan.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Kantai Collection]]
!! Kanmusu in General
* ChestOfMedals: Most maritime kanmusu jangle in their dress uniforms. They've had the better part of 200 years and [[WorldWarII three]] [[BugWar apocalyptic]] [[WeComeInPeaceShootToKill wars]] to earn them.
* FantasticHonorifics: In formal documentation, the original ship's prefix is used if one exists as a sort of honorific. For example, "USS New Jersey," "SSV Alan B. Shepard," "HIJMS Nagato."

* FunWithAcronyms: Shipgirls are officially documented as SME (Sapient Maritime Entities).
* HumanWeapon: In fact the Alliance's most powerful weapon, and one of the main reason why Earth is still independent of the Hierarchy.
* MilitarySuperhero: All of them, to an extent.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: One is capable of wiping out an entire military base on her own.
* RealityWarper: How kanmusu "physics BS" works.
* Really700YearsOld: Most of the "maritime" kanmusu are centuries old, as they were part of the "first generation" that fought in the original Abyssal War in the early 21st Century.
* SuperStrength: And ''how.'' Even the weakest of shipgirls are generally more than capable of turning a human into LudicrousGibs with their bare fists.

!! Vice Admiral HIJMS Nagato
The commanding officer of the
* AMotherToHerMen: Or ships, at least.
* BigGood
* CoolOldLady: Although she doesn't look a day over thirty, she's 257 as of 2176.

* ActionMom: To [[TheStrategist Admiral Takeo Compton.]]
* BoisterousBruiser
* FourStarBadass
* SpaceMarine
* {{Stripperiffic}}: After 200 years, Musashi's sense of fashion has barely changed.

!! HIJMS Kongou
The "matriarch" of the Goto Family, president of the Kanmusu Veterans Association, and one of the most powerful businesswomen in Alliance space.
* ActionMom: To a truly ridiculous extent.

!! Fleet Admiral HIJMS Ooyodo (Ret.)
Former Chief of Alliance Naval Operations during the First Contact War and a controversial figure in military circles.
* FourStarBadass
* TheScapegoat: Has taken a lot of flack for her handling of the War, although how much of the heavy human losses were her fault is up for interpretation.
* TheStrategist
* StrategyVersusTactics: Better at the former than the latter.

The "new girl" and the Fourth's first carrier shipgirl.
