Ocean's Wave is a company founded in 1995 to provide orbital launch services. The Tarva-based corporation is majority-owned by the Cryrian government, and distinguishes itself by using a mobile maritime launch platform to facilitate optimal launches for countries and entities that otherwise lack direct access to sites to regions of interest. |

Ocean's Wave began as a subsidiary project launched by the Cryrian shipping giant Marlberg AS, and it conducted its first demonstration launch in 1999. The company uses a customized sea-launch variant of Ezethla's Arrow known as Ezethla-S to conduct launches from a repurposed mobile oil drilling rig that was purchased secondhand from Royal Cryrian Oil. These rockets are stored and prepared in Vesterholm, before being sailed out and assembled on a command ship that accompanies the launch platform. |
