During events, qualified players gain access to a special "time-limited world" with exclusive maps, referencing historical/planned operations.
*The only exceptions being:
**The [[Christmas 2013 Event]], a collaboration event with the Arpeggio franchise,
**[[Mini-Event]]s, being centered around current Japanese seasonal events.

Event maps stay up for an indeterminate amount of time, on average 43 days for [[Phase 2]], and which can range anywhere between 3 and 9 weeks, and being typically released in multiple phases:
*The '''"1st Stage Operations"''' (MO), being released at the event's start, with sometimes a delay of few days for some maps,
**They range from 1 to 4 maps.
*The '''"2nd Stage Operations"''' (EO), being released some weeks after the MO, with sometimes a delay of few days for some maps,
**They range from 1 to 3 maps.
*Eventually "[[Friendly Fleet]]s", in either 1 or 2 waves, being released neer the event's end.
Events come in different scales:
*'''"Small Scale"''' for 1 or 3 maps,
*'''"Medium Scale"''' for 4 or 5 maps,
*'''"Large Scale"''' for 6 or 7 maps.

Event maps pose considerably higher challenge compared to normal maps, employing exclusive [[Boss|Abyssal Bosses]] and [[#Event Mechanics|mechanics]], such as [[Combined Fleet]]s.

===Stockpiling===
Accumulating a stockpile of resources ({{Fuel}}{{Ammo}}{{Steel}}{{Bauxite}}) and consumables (buckets{{IR}} and flamethrowers{{IC}}) prior to the event start or during the weeks that lead up to an event is extremely recommended.
* Using the soft cap mechanic to your advantage might be beneficial should the situation demand it. For each resource under the soft cap, it is generated up to 1440 for {{Fuel}}{{Ammo}}{{Steel}} and 480 for {{Bauxite}}, per day.
** For reference, expedition 5 being run non-stop will bring in a gross of 3850 fuel and ammo, and 257 steel and bauxite per day.
** As buckets and flamethrowers do not regen over time, focusing on stocking them might be preferable on a higher priority. Expeditions 02, 04 & A2 for buckets and [[2-1]] for flamethrowers are good ways to farm with very high efficiency and low maintenance.
** Fuel and ammo are the most used resources and also the most easily obtained resources through expeditions. Steel is used on a much smaller scale in comparison, but is substantially harder to stockpile in a shorter period of time. Bauxite uses will vary depending on each particular map.
