The "Wuthering waves" namedrop is basically a way to say "hard times"

Everything is a reference to waves as both sound and water right? Solaris-3 is the ocean. Rover is called the "guide of Civilizations" and "Chief Steward"
steward
1.
a person who looks after the passengers on a ship, aircraft/train
He's literally a guide or "navigator" steering a ship through the oceans with humanity on it.

Translators did a bad job of translating enemy classifications. in CN instead of "Common" and "Elite" they're called calm/angry/raging/and furious waves. And Calamity class is called "Tsunami".

So Rover is basically the captain navigating through the storms and tides. Something like a black hole that destroyed the port city of guixu would maybe be a "Typhoon". That's something not even past rover could deal with, and he'll always lose some of his crew if he encounters one.

And it's also why the opening cinematic is called "Set Sail"
