We aboard the Kiska have struck the first spear against the Yamatte! We will lift their head high for all to see!
The Kiska is a Nazca-class Astro Strike Carrier that served Gatlantis Empire. Kiska was part of Gutaba Grand Chief Commissioner Goran "Thunder" Dagam's Gutaba Expedition Group. The carrier served as part of the Kiska Strike Force, a subdivision for the overall fleet, headed by Isla "Gale" Paracas.
History[]
In August 2199,[3] Kiska and the Expedition Group moved from the Small Magellanic Cloud in search of the World of Tranquillity, which lead to them encountering the remnants of the Zoellik Faction and Space Battleship Yamato starting off a chain of events which would lead to the Hunt for the World of Tranquillity. During the conflict Kiska played a significant role, giving the fleet air superiority both at the Battle of Kappadokia and the Battle of Shambleau. At the very end of the conflict, the ship became the de facto flagship of the Expedition Group when Dagam and his flagship Megaluda left the front to seize the world of Tranquillity himself. However Kiska was hit before captain Paracas could give the order to retreat.[2]
Trivia[]
- The name Kiska means: "Pure" in Russian.
- The Kiska's name could be based off of the real life American ammunition supply ship USNS Kiska (T-AE-35), one of five ammunition ships operated by Military Sealift Command of the Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force.

- ↑ Mikage Kiryu states that the events of Odyssey of the Celestial Ark (outside of the prologue and epilogue) are set one months after Yamato's take off from Iscandar, as that event is stated to take place on July 27, 2199, it can be deduced that the movie takes place in August of the same year.
