Halloween
Update 12.9 brings forth a new Halloween Operation from the eerie dusk! You can take part in the Last Chapter Operation and finally bring to an end the conflict between the Forces of Light and the Twilight fleet. This time, you need to escort Transylvania and protect her from enemy forces as she travels on her way to deliver a special explosive to destroy the Portal once and for all!
You can participate in Last Chapter playing your own Tier VIII–IX ships of all types. Their appearance will be changed with a themed black-and-gold camouflage with special visual effects. All ships will receive special modifiers to even out their performance in the Operation.
Additionally, your team's ships will receive extra buffs each time one of your teammates' ships is destroyed, giving you a chance to complete the operation even if your team suffers multiple ship losses.

As in previous Halloween events, the map is covered in Filth, and it gradually damages ships if they linger too long in it. Transylvania is surrounded by a safe zone that moves with the ship; however, her magic weakens over the course of the battle, causing the safe zone to become smaller until it reaches its minimum size.
