Red Wave is a ship located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is an unmarked ship docked in Solitude's harbor outside the East Empire Company Warehouse. It is the location for the last of the Dark Brotherhood side contracts given by Nazir.

It has named guards, who do not attack on sight. They initially warn the Dragonborn against trespassing.

QuestsEdit

The Dainty SloadEdit

Completing Small Jobs for Delvin Mallory enough times will cause him to reveal the location of Sabine's Footlocker, in which the beverage Balmora Blue may be found. The key to the Footlocker may be obtained from Sabine Nytte.

Contract: Kill SafiaEdit

The last contract obtained from Nazir. It is best to deal with the Thieves Guild quest above before handling this one.

Hired MuscleEdit

Eris, Dorian, and Xander are possible targets in this quest.

Notable lootEdit

• A large stash of Iron and some Steel ingots.
• Sneak Skill Book Legend of Krately House.

Behind the ScenesEdit

• The name may be a reference either to the Redwave enchanted weapon from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, or a reference to the Ra Gada Warrior Wave from the First Era, (The "Ra Gada" would later become known as the "Redguard," thus "Red Wave").

TriviaEdit

• Since entering the ship is considered trespassing, many characters inside, including some followers, cannot be engaged in conversation and will simply tell the Dragonborn to leave. This complicates the Dainty Sload and Hired Muscle quests, as they require the Dragonborn to talk to people who spend much of their time inside the ship.
• The crewmen of the Red Wave do have unique dialogue, although it can't normally be heard without drawing them out of the ship first (either though console commands, or by provoking them into combat via committing a crime in their presence and then running out).
