General information
The Z20 Karl Galster is a premium German destroyer. It was introduced as a premium pack in Update 1.79 "Project X" as part of the fleet closed beta test. It was removed from the store after the 2019 Winter sale, but was shortly reintroduced for the 2020 May Sale purchasable in-game for 6,090 Golden Eagles. It was once again made unavailable for purchase after the naval tech tree split in Update "New Power". It was made available for purchase with Golden Eagles in-game briefly during the 2023 "German Navy Day" mini-event.
