Müller then took ''Emden'' to raid the Cocos Islands, where he landed a contingent of sailors to destroy British facilities. There, ''Emden'' was attacked by the Australian cruiser HMAS ''Sydney''. The more powerful Australian ship quickly inflicted serious damage and forced Müller to run his ship aground to prevent her from sinking. Out of a crew of 376, 133 were killed in the battle. Most of the survivors were taken prisoner; the landing party, led by Hellmuth von Mücke, commandeered an old schooner and eventually returned to Germany. ''Emden'''s wreck was quickly destroyed by wave action, and was broken up for scrap in the 1950s. | Müller then took ''Emden'' to raid the Cocos Islands, where he landed a contingent of sailors to destroy British facilities.

Emden — German special premium Tier II cruiser.
SMS Emden, the second Dresden-class cruiser, met the outbreak of World War I in the Far East as part of von Spee's squadron. In September 1914, Karl von Müller took command of the ship, which was detached for independent raiding in the Indian Ocean, and the cruiser captured nearly two dozen ships. Emden launched a surprise attack on Penang; in the resulting Battle of Penang, she sank Russian cruiser Zhemchug and French destroyer Mousquet. On November 9, 1914, during a raid on Cocos Islands, Emden was intercepted by Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney, sustained severe damage, and had to run aground near the shore to avoid sinking.
The ship was given out during the 2015 Holiday season by completing a three part mission series.
