Modeled after ships that appeared in World War II, but possessing weaponry far superior to those in humanity's possession and protected by an indestructible barrier immune to whatever we have to throw at them, humanity quickly loses control of the seas and our military forces are annihilated in the desperate battles against them. The result was a world where humanity's presence in the oceans is no more, with communication via the seas cut off and humans isolated from each other, blockaded by the "Fleet of Fog". | |
? | In 2054, a change became across the Fleet of Fog. The ships of the Fog, impersonal and faceless, started developing "Mental Models", human avatars capable of thinking in ways similar to human beings, with personalities unique to each Mental Model. One of these was the I-401, or, Iona, who made contact with Gunzō Chihaya to become his ship. Gunzō, with Iona and a small band of friends who now crew the I-401, as Blue Steel now seek to create a balance to this lopsided status quo with the Fleet of Fog, to bring a peace where humanity and the Fleet of Fog can happily coexist together. | + | In 2054, a change became across the Fleet of Fog.

She's the sister ship of ''[[ship:ARP Kongō|Kongō]]'', ''[[ship:ARP Haruna|Haruna]]'' and ''[[ship:ARP Kirishima|Kirishima]]''. After ''[[ship:ARP Kongō|Kongō]]'' leaves the Fleet of Fog in the first movie, ''Hiei'' appears in an attack on the ''I-401''. She identifies herself and announces her intention to take command of the Fleet of Fog. She introduces her subordinates in a system reflecting a student council, from which she is the self-proclaimed president. ''Hiei'' is highly intelligent, often adapting to the ''I-401''’s actions faster than any other member of the Fleet of Fog. This makes her a dangerous opponent for the Blue Steel, and the movie ends with ''Hiei'' facing off against the ''I-401''. | |

In one confrontation, ''Hiei'' manages to analyze the ''I-401''’s attack and properly defends her sister ship ''[[ship:ARP Kongō|Kongō]]''. Later, ''Hiei'' squares off against ''Hyuuga'', the results of which have a major impact on the battle. | |
? | In the Ars Nova Cadenza movie, Hiei tasks her team to defeat the I-401, having classified her as a "Traitor of the Fog". In much of the movie, she is seen planning attacks and deploying her student council to track and assault the I-401. Hiei is often vexed by her subordinates' inability to succeed, and becomes increasingly more interested in joining the battle.

Designed by British naval architect George Thurston, she was the second launched of four ''[[Kongo]]''-class battlecruisers, among the most heavily armed ships in any navy when built. Laid down in 1911 at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, ''Hiei'' was formally commissioned in 1914. She patrolled off the Chinese coast on several occasions during World War I, and helped with rescue efforts following the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. | |

? | Starting in 1929, Hiei was converted to a gunnery training ship to avoid being scrapped under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. She served as Emperor Hirohito's transport in the mid-1930s. Starting in 1937, she underwent a full-scale reconstruction that completely rebuilt her superstructure, upgraded her powerplant, and equipped her with launch catapults for floatplanes. Now fast enough to accompany Japan's growing fleet of aircraft carriers, she was reclassified as a fast battleship. On the eve of the US entry into World War II, she sailed as part of Vice-Admiral Chuichi Nagumo's Combined Fleet, escorting the six carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. | + | Starting in 1929, ''Hiei'' was converted to a gunnery training ship to avoid being scrapped under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty.

She escorted Japanese carrier forces during the battles of the Eastern Solomons and Santa Cruz Islands, before sailing as part of a bombardment force under Admiral Kondō during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. On the evening of 13 November 1942, Hiei engaged American cruisers and destroyers alongside her sister ship Kirishima. After inflicting heavy damage on American cruisers and destroyers, Hiei was crippled by enemy vessels.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
As this ship is basically a copy of the tech tree Kongo, the following recommended upgrades are the same:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 *
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 *
Slot 1 provides players with the first option in choosing a desired role. Typically, Main Armaments Modification 1 is recommended to provide additional survivability to the main battery, but players who desire to specialize in the secondary or anti-aircraft armament should choose Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 .
Slot 3 allows for further specialization. Generally, Aiming Systems Modification 1 is recommended because it reduces shell dispersion of the main and secondary armaments. To increase the effectiveness of the anti-aircraft armament, mount AA Guns Modification 1 . Players wishing to specialize for secondaries should mount Secondary Battery Modification 1 .
However, as it is a copy, players can experiment with different upgrade combinations.
Commander Skills
As this ship is basically a copy of the tech tree Kongo, the following recommended commander skills for maximum effectiveness are the same. However, as it is a copy, players can experiment with different commander skill builds.
Consumables
Just like the tech tree Kongo, players have access to the following consumables on ARP Hiei:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Repair Party
- Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft
