After losing three of its fleets
as a result of a major offensive
[00:13] Na
launched by the Imperial Navy
under Reinhard von Lohengramm,
SIGN Free Planets Alliance Navy 3rd Fleet
[00:16] Na
the Alliance Navy chose the
Amritsar Starzone as a new battlefield
SIGN Free Planets Alliance Navy 9th Fleet
[00:20] Na
and had all of its surviving
fleets gather there.
[00:26] Na
While all the other fleets
sustained heavy damages,

[00:30] Na
the 13th Fleet, led by Yang,
still retained about 90% of its fighting strength.

[02:18] Bewcock
Per our orders from headquarters,
the minefield has been laid behind us.
[02:23] Yang
I appreciate it.
[02:26] Bewcock
That should stop any pincer
attacks from our rear...
[02:29] Yang
But our backs are literally to the wall.
SIGN 13th Fleet Commander
Vice Admiral Yang Wen-li
[02:31] Yang
We've left ourselves no escape route.
SIGN 5th Fleet Commander
Vice Admiral Alexandre Bewcock
[02:34] Bewcock
This is no laughing matter.
[02:37] Bewcock
By the way, are the survivors from the
10th Fleet under your command now?
[02:43] Yang
Yes. I've certainly developed a talent
for dealing with loss, at least.
[02:47] Yang
Honestly, what did I do to
deserve such hardship?
[02:51] Bewcock
You're starting to sound
like Yusuf the Complainer.
[02:56] Yang
Though most of its ships have been damaged,
[02:58] Yang
the surviving forces from the
10th Fleet will be essential
[03:02] Yang
when we carry out our plan.
[03:05] Bewcock
We must be grateful to Admiral Ulanhu.
[03:10] Bewcock
Well, Admiral, I'll see
you on the battlefield.
[03:13] Yang
Yes.
[03:16] Dusty
I'm going to head back to my ship now.
[03:20] Yang
Attenborough, I'm glad you're here.
[03:24] Dusty
Well, someone has to look
after you, you know.
SIGN 13th Fleet Division Commander
Commodore Dusty Attenborough
[03:30] Dusty
I'll be going, then.
[03:37] Frederica
Admiral, Commodore Fischer reports
SIGN 13th Fleet Adjutant
Sub-lieutenant Frederica Greenhill
[03:40] Frederica
that the mobilization plan for the
surviving fleets is complete.
[03:44] Yang
Thank you. That was fast.
[03:47] Frederica
Also, you should really
eat something, Admiral.
[03:51] Yang
Sorry, but I don't have any appetite.
[03:53] Yang
I'd rather have a glass of brandy.
[03:56] Frederica
Didn't Julian tell you
that you drink too much?
[04:00] Yang
What? You and Julian are
ganging up on me now?
[04:04] Frederica
Admiral!
[04:06] Guy
Patrol craft 09 has
detected an enemy fleet!
[04:09] Guy
It's heading toward us in close formation!
[04:18] Yang
You heard the alert, everyone.
[04:21] Yang
All hands to battle stations, condition one.
[04:23] Guy
Roger.
[04:25] Guy
All hands to battle
stations, condition one!
[04:25] Yang
Sub-lieutenant, if we survive this,
I'll eat healthy for the rest of my life.

[04:51] Reinhard
Is that why they chose Amritsar
for their battleground?
[04:54] Paul
It seems likely.
[05:00] Reinhard
Feuer.
[05:15] Murai
The enemy attacks are focused
on the 3rd and 8th Fleets,
[05:19] Murai
the ones stationed in the vicinity of the asteroid mines.
[05:22] Yang
It makes sense to aim where
there are the fewest targets.
[05:25] Yang
All ships, advance.
[05:27] Yang
We'll draw their attention.
[05:30] Yang
Send a message to Admiral Bewcock.
[05:32] Frederica
Yes, sir.

[05:38] Guy
Enemy's 5th Fleet flagship,
Rio Grande, identified!
[05:42] Bewcock
Damn kids, pushing their elders
around like slaves...
[05:45] Wolfgang
All ships, change target
to enemy's 5th Fleet.
[05:52] Guy
We've taken a hit to our right flank!
[05:54] Guy
It appears to be a new enemy force!
[05:57] Adjutant
Attack sustained from our right flank.
[05:59] Adjutant
It's the 13th Fleet.
[06:03] Wolfgang
They attacked in the brief moment we were
preoccupied with changing targets...
[06:07] Wolfgang
Impressive.
[06:09] Wolfgang
It seems the enemy has someone on their
side who excels at commanding fleets.
SIGN 13th Fleet Vice Commander
Commodore Edwin Fischer
[06:14] Wolfgang
All ships, withdraw for now.
[06:17] Wolfgang
We will regroup.
[06:19] Murai
The enemy fleet is withdrawing.
[06:22] Yang
It benefits us as well,
when the enemy is so capable.
[06:25] Guy
Search system has identified a
new enemy fleet approaching!

[06:49] Paul
Our navy is overwhelming the
enemy in all theaters.
[06:56] Reinhard
It looks like we've won.
[06:59] Yang
It looks like we've lost.
[07:07] Fritz
Our next quarry will be the
notorious Yang Wen-li's fleet.
[07:12] Fritz
If we defeat him, any reward we desire will be ours.
[07:16] Fritz
Glory will be ours!
[07:18] Fritz
The goddess of victory is flashing
her underwear at all of you!
[07:27] Fyodor
Admiral, they're coming!
[07:29] Yang
Increase shields to max output.
[07:32] Yang
Attack while withdrawing in sync
with the enemy's advance.
[07:40] Yang
Adjust our retreat speed.
[07:42] Yang
Just slow enough that they think they have us.
Tease their commanders.
[07:48] Eugen
The enemy is keeping a cleverly
calculated distance.
[07:50] Eugen
We have dealt almost no damage at all.
[07:53] Fritz
Halt all fire!
[07:55] Fritz
Deploy all Walküres!
[07:57] Fritz
We will take control of this sector!
[08:08] Guy
Enemy carrier-based crafts
approaching at high speed!
[08:11] Fyodor
Admiral!
[08:12] Yang
Not yet. We need to draw
them as close as possible.
[08:15] Guy
They're right on top of us!
[08:17] Yang
All destroyers to small target defense.
[08:20] Yang
Have our capital ships divert all power
from the shields to the cannons.
[08:23] Murai
Isn't that a dangerous move?
[08:26] Yang
Don't worry.
[08:28] Yang
Fire!
[08:36] Fritz
What are you doing?!
[08:37] Fritz
Counter with our own ships' guns!
[08:40] Eugen
We can't.
[08:41] Fritz
Why not?!
[08:42] Eugen
If we fire now, we'll hit the Walküres.
[08:46] Eugen
The enemy knows that we can't fire back.
[08:54] Guy
Incoming message from Admiral Bittenfeld.
[08:57] Guy
"Immediate backup requested."
[08:59] Reinhard
Backup?
[09:01] Reinhard
Does he think I have a magic lamp
[09:03] Reinhard
from which I can produce
new fleets on command?
[09:08] Reinhard
Send a message to the Bittenfeld Fleet.
[09:10] Reinhard
I have no spare forces to send.
[09:12] Reinhard
He is to carry out his duty as a soldier
with the forces available to him.
[09:16] Guy
Yes, sir.
[09:19] Reinhard
Kircheis still isn't here?
[09:22] Paul
Is Your Excellency worried about him?
[09:25] Reinhard
I'm not worried.
[09:27] Paul
I'd wager Admiral Kircheis has already
SIGN Directional Seffle Particle Discharge Devices
[09:29] Paul
navigated the special ops craft into
position and begun the operation by now.
[09:38] Guy
The Seffle particles have penetrated
the enemy's minefield.
SIGN Vice Admiral Siegfried Kircheis
[09:41] Kircheis
Ignite immediately.
[09:55] Guy
Enemy fleet to our rear!
[09:56] Guy
They number approximately 30,000!
[09:59] Bewcock
They got through the minefield
we left behind us?!
[10:04] Yang
An ambush led by the tactician
in that red ship...
[10:08] Yang
I was wondering where he was.
[10:11] Murai
What shall we do, Admiral?
[10:13] Yang
Indeed...
[10:15] Yang
If we're going to run, we should take
as many allies with us as possible.
[10:19] Yang
I'll give it my best effort.
[10:22] Guy
The Reuenthal Fleet is performing
search-and-destroy on the enemy's 9th Fleet.
[10:26] Guy
The Mittermeyer Fleet
[10:28] Guy
has disabled all organized enemy
activity in the area of operation.
[10:32] Reinhard
Order to all forces.
[10:34] Reinhard
Switch from pincer formation
to encirclement.
[10:36] Reinhard
Don't let a single soldier escape.
[10:38] Paul
Shall our own ship advance
as well, Your Excellency?
[10:42] Reinhard
No, I don't think so.
[10:44] Reinhard
They'd say I was trying to steal
the glory from my subordinates.
[10:57] Paul
The Bittenfeld Fleet appears
to be low in number...
[11:03] Paul
If the encirclement is incomplete,
we'll be giving the enemy an escape route.
[11:07] Paul
Unlike before, we now have forces to spare.
[11:12] Paul
We should send backup
to Admiral Bittenfeld.
[11:16] Reinhard
Damn that Bittenfeld...
[11:18] Reinhard
His failures always ruin things for us.
[11:23] Guy
Message from command.
[11:24] Guy
Admiral Kircheis is to provide backup
to the Schwarz Lanzenreiter immediately.
[11:32] Guy
The enemy fleet behind us has
deployed to our left flank!
[11:37] Murai
They're trying to fill the
gap in their encirclement.
[11:40] Guy
Urgent encrypted transmission
from Commodore Attenborough.

Sorry for the wait.
We're ready to carry out the plan.

Begin at once.

Unmanned Special Attack Force
[12:06] Guy
Part of the enemy fleet is
moving to our right flank!
[12:10] Fritz
Don't let them get past us!
[12:11] Fritz
Expand the encirclement to our right!
[12:14] Kircheis
No!
[12:15] Yang
Proceed to stage two of the plan.
[12:19] Guy
Message from Admiral Kircheis.
[12:21] Guy
"The enemies to the right are a diversion.
[12:23] Guy
Maintain formation until my fleet arrives."
[12:27] Fritz
What?!
[12:28] Guy
Enemy sighted in front of us!
[12:31] Guy
But... what is this?!
[12:37] Guy
The mined-out asteroids are coming
toward us at high speed!
[12:41] Eugen
What?!
[12:46] Dusty
I've done my part, old friend.
[12:55] Eugen
Our encirclement...
[13:01] Yang
No need to think about anything else.
[13:04] Yang
Hit that fleet of black ships
with all the force we have.
[13:20] Eugen
We've lost over 70% of our fleet!
[13:24] Fritz
And what of it?
[13:26] Eugen
Admiral...
[13:27] Fritz
We will defend this sector with our lives!
[13:30] Fritz
Down to the last man, if we must!
[13:32] Eugen
You mustn't!
[13:33] Eugen
Our fleet is the weak link in the encirclement.
[13:37] Eugen
As its admiral, it is your duty to
report to the commander-in-chief.
[13:41] Eugen
Or will you put an end to the history
of the Schwarz Lanzenreiter here?
[13:53] Na
The second major battle of the invasion,
which took place in the Amritsar star zone,
[13:57] Na
ended with an overwhelming advantage
for the Imperial Navy.
[14:01] Na
However, due to the efforts of the Alliance
commanders, with Yang at their center,
[14:06] Na
they failed to complete their encirclement,
[14:11] Na
and the surviving Alliance fleets
just barely succeeded in escaping.
[14:16] Wolfgang
I guess the rebels have some pretty
impressive men in their ranks, too.
[14:21] Oskar
Yes. I look forward to the
day we meet them again.
SIGN Vice Admiral Oskar von Reuenthal
[14:25] Oskar
But I doubt that will happen for some time.
[14:28] Wolfgang
True.
[14:30] Wolfgang
I'd say they've lost both the will and the
strength to attempt another invasion.
[15:15] Reinhard
I'd like to say that you
fought bravely as well,
[15:18] Reinhard
but I cannot.
[15:20] Fritz
Yes, sir!
[15:21] Reinhard
I'm sure you know why.
[15:23] Reinhard
In your haste to achieve success,
[15:25] Reinhard
you recklessly rushed forward
when you should not have.
[15:28] Reinhard
As a result, your fleet
suffered great losses,
[15:31] Reinhard
and our perfect victory was lost because
our encirclement was incomplete.
[15:35] Reinhard
Do you object to anything I've said?
[15:38] Fritz
I do not.
[15:41] Reinhard
Our military is founded upon its
rules of reward and punishment.
[15:44] Reinhard
Once we return to Odin, I will see
that you are held responsible.
[15:49] Reinhard
You are confined to your quarters.
[15:51] Reinhard
Dismissed.
[16:05] Paul
You are a capable man,
[16:07] Paul
but you shouldn't assume your
friendship with Count Lohengramm
[16:11] Paul
gives you any kind of privilege.
[16:14] Paul
A ruler should not let personal
feelings influence his decisions.
[16:25] Kircheis
Your Excellency, please reconsider.
[16:29] Reinhard
Why are you trying to stop me?
[16:31] Reinhard
Bittenfeld failed to fulfill his duty!
[16:34] Reinhard
Why shouldn't he be punished?!
[16:37] Kircheis
Your Excellency, are you angry?
[16:39] Reinhard
Am I wrong to be angry?!
[16:42] Kircheis
What I'm asking is what your anger is
directed toward, Your Excellency.
[16:48] Reinhard
Stop calling me that.
[16:50] Reinhard
What are you trying to say, Kircheis?
[16:53] Kircheis
Then, Reinhard...
[16:56] Kircheis
Could it be that the one you
are angry with is yourself?
[17:02] Kircheis
Admiral Bittenfeld is merely a victim
of your own misplaced anger.
[17:10] Kircheis
Are you that upset to be the one
who gave Admiral Yang his fame?
[17:14] Reinhard
Yes!
[17:15] Reinhard
You're damn right I'm upset!
[17:17] Reinhard
I managed to put up with it at Astarte,
[17:19] Reinhard
but twice in a row is too much!
[17:22] Reinhard
He always shows up right when
my victory should be assured
[17:26] Reinhard
and gets in my way!
[17:28] Kircheis
He must have his reasons
to be upset, as well.
[17:31] Kircheis
I'm sure he wonders
[17:32] Kircheis
why he couldn't face you on equal
footing from the very beginning.
[17:39] Kircheis
You have already made two powerful enemies:
[17:43] Kircheis
Admiral Yang in front of you,
and the pure-blood nobility behind you.
[17:48] Kircheis
You cannot afford to make enemies
of your own men.
[17:56] Reinhard
Fine.
[17:58] Reinhard
I was wrong.
[18:01] Reinhard
I won't seek punishment for Bittenfeld.
[18:04] Reinhard
Would you inform him of that?
[18:07] Kircheis
No, I can't do that.
[18:11] Reinhard
You're right. It means nothing
if I don't tell him myself.
[18:19] Reinhard
Kircheis...
[18:21] Kircheis
Yes, Reinhard?
[18:25] Reinhard
Do you think I am capable of
conquering the universe?
[18:30] Kircheis
If you are not capable of
conquering it, no one is.
[18:59] Yang
Forgive me for looking like
this in a lady's presence.
[19:02] Frederica
Don't mind me. Would you like some tea?
[19:05] Yang
Yes... with plenty of brandy
in it, if possible.
[19:09] Frederica
Of course.
[19:11] Yang
Sub-lieutenant...
[19:13] Yang
I've studied a bit of history.
[19:17] Yang
And I learned that,
[19:19] Yang
in human society, there are
two ways of thinking.
[19:23] Yang
There's the idea that there exists
something more valuable than life
[19:27] Yang
and the idea that nothing is
more valuable than life.
[19:31] Yang
When people begin to fight,
they claim the former,
[19:35] Yang
and when they stop, they claim the latter.
[19:38] Yang
This has been true for hundreds...
no, thousands of years.
[19:44] Yang
Will it continue to be the
case for thousands more?
[19:49] Frederica
Admiral...
[19:52] Yang
No, humanity as a whole
doesn't matter to me.
[19:57] Yang
I just wonder if there's anything I can do
[19:59] Yang
that will make all the blood
I've shed worthwhile.
[20:06] Yang
Sorry... Pay no attention to me.
[20:09] Frederica
No, it's all right.
[20:11] Frederica
A bit of brandy in your tea, was it?
[20:14] Yang
A lot of it.
[20:16] Frederica
Right, a lot of it.

SIGN Annerose von Grünewald
[04:33] Paul
He has only one direct male descendant,
[04:36] Paul
but he is five years old and not backed
by an influential noble family.
[04:42] Paul
That leaves the two daughters of
Braunschweig and Littenheim,
[04:47] Paul
the men who married the
emperor's daughters.
[04:49] Paul
If either of them becomes the empress,
[04:51] Paul
her father would become the regent.
[04:54] (Flashback) Paul
No matter how it ends up, it won't last,
[04:57] (Flashback) Paul
and it will not end without bloodshed.
[05:03] (Flashback) Reinhard
What you say is accurate.
[05:05] (Flashback) Reinhard
This means my fate depends upon which
grandchild I choose to stand behind.
[05:11] (Flashback) Reinhard
And of the men backing these
three grandchildren,
[05:14] (Flashback) Reinhard
which do you think is most likely
to extend his hand to me?
[05:18] (Flashback) Paul
I would say... Marquis Lichtenlade.
[05:26] (Flashback) Reinhard
I see.
[05:27] (Flashback) Reinhard
So the minister of state will
seek to shake my hand.
[05:31] (Flashback) Reinhard
In that case, I will sell
it to him at a high price.
SIGN Baron Flegel
[06:07] Na
The funeral of Friedrich IV
was a solemn affair.
[06:14] Na
But while it appeared quiet on the surface,
[06:16] Na
the minds of the nobles who sought
to be next in line for supremacy
[06:21] Na
were already swirling with strategies
for the imminent power struggle.
[06:40] Flegel
We should eliminate that
blond boy immediately!
[06:44] Flegel
Why was someone of such low
birth permitted to attend
[06:48] Flegel
the funeral of our holy
and inviolable emperor?!
[06:52] Flegel
To allow such injustice to stand will
be of no benefit to this empire!
[06:58] Otho
Listen to me, Flegel.
[07:00] Otho
It's true that the blond boy
is an eyesore to all of us.
[07:04] Flegel
Then—
[07:05] Otho
But this is not the time to be
distracted by such things.
[07:11] Flegel
Are you talking about Littenheim?
[07:14] Otho
Yes.
[07:15] Otho
Just as we are putting our
support behind our daughter,
[07:18] Ohto
I'm sure Littenheim plans
to do the same for his.
[07:23] Ohto
If Littenheim wins, eliminating the boy
will be the least of our worries.
[07:27] Ohto
Our status itself will be at risk.
[07:31] Flegel
I understand, Uncle.
[07:34] Ohto
This is a crucial time.
[07:36] Ohto
We want as many allies as we can get.
[07:40] Ohto
Say, Flegel... I've been thinking.
[07:44] Ohto
Of the influential noble families
with sons who are of age,
[07:49] Ohto
which is the best?
[07:51] Ohto
We will offer them this proposal:
[07:54] Ohto
"If Elizabeth assumes the throne,
[07:57] Ohto
we are willing to give her your son
as the husband of the new empress."
[08:03] Flegel
That is a fine idea, Uncle.
[08:06] Flegel
In that case, we should
quietly make that offer
[08:10] Flegel
to as many of them as possible.
[08:15] Reinhard
Have you heard, Kircheis?
[08:18] Reinhard
All the nobles are clamoring to maneuver
their way into the imperial court.
[08:22] Reinhard
Braunschweig is promising multiple nobles
that their sons can marry his daughter,
[08:28] Reinhard
and now it seems Littenheim
is doing the same thing.
[08:33] Reinhard
If either of the granddaughters
becomes the empress,
[08:36] Reinhard
just how many husbands will she end up with?
[08:40] Reinhard
But the more all these nobles scramble,
[08:42] Reinhard
the better it suits us.
[08:47] Reinhard
More importantly, Kircheis,
I have a favor to ask of you.
[08:54] Reinhard
My sister is leaving the palace.
[08:57] Kircheis
Yes.
[09:00] Reinhard
I want to find a nice
place for her to live.
[09:03] Reinhard
Will you help me?
[09:06] Kircheis
Of course.
[09:12] Kircheis
That's right...
[09:14] Kircheis
From now on, Annerose and
Reinhard will be able
[09:18] Kircheis
to see each other whenever they want.
[09:25] Klaus
Be it Braunschweig or Littenheim,
[09:29] Klaus
we cannot allow these greedy relatives
SIGN Private Secretary Weitz
[09:32] Klaus
to take over the politics of this empire.
SIGN Minister of State and Acting Prime Minister
Klaus von Lichtenlade
[09:36] Klaus
We must restore order in the imperial
court as quickly as possible.
[09:41] Weitz
If this is about the successor issue,
[09:43] Weitz
it doesn't seem all that complicated to me.
[09:47] Klaus
What?
[09:51] Weitz
You need only do as you have done all along,
[09:53] Weitz
as both minster of state and
acting Prime Minister.
[09:59] Klaus
You're saying I should adhere
to convention, then?
[10:03] Klaus
Of course, I would prefer to do that.
[10:05] Klaus
But even if I chose Master Erwin Josef,
[10:09] Klaus
the only direct successor, to be emperor,
[10:12] Klaus
I would have no way to protect him
from Braunschweig and Littenheim.
[10:18] Weitz
Indeed. He would require a watchdog.
[10:22] Weitz
A very strong, easily controlled watchdog.
[10:26] Weitz
And have you not already chosen one?
[10:32] Klaus
I'm not sure I can call him
"easily controlled," but...
[10:36] Klaus
I certainly can't deny his strength.
[10:51] Wolfgang
I hear the admiral was summoned
by Marquis Lichtenlade.
[10:57] Oskar
He was? So Oberstein was right.
[11:02] Wolfgang
What do you think of him?
[11:05] Oskar
I don't like him, but he's sharp.
[11:12] Oskar
What? What's bothering you?
[11:15] Wolfgang
I'm not sure how to put it.
[11:17] Wolfgang
When the admiral is talking to him,
[11:20] Wolfgang
there are times when he doesn't seem
at all like the admiral I know.
[11:27] Wolfgang
There's something different about him.
[11:31] Wolfgang
So long as he serves the admiral,
[11:33] Wolfgang
he should want the same things as us, but...
[11:36] Oskar
Even if we want the same things,
[11:39] Oskar
how he feels and how we
feel about the admiral
[11:42] Oskar
are as different as night and day.
[11:45] Wolfgang
True.
[11:47] Wolfgang
We just need to do our own jobs, I suppose.
[12:03] Na
When Erwin Josef's succession
to the throne was announced,
[12:07] Na
the higher nobles were
astonished, disappointed,
[12:13] Na
and maddened with rage.
[12:27] Flegel
That blond boy... That blond boy...
That blond boy... That blond boy...
[12:33] Flegel
That blond boy... That blond boy...
That blond boy...

Grand Bishop,
I hope the day finds you in good cheer.
[13:04] Bishop
What reason have I to be in good cheer?

Only when Earth is again
revered by all humanity,
[13:11] Bishop
as it was in days of old,
will my heart feel cheer.
[13:16] Adrian
Of course...
[13:17] Bishop
The ingrates who abandoned their

You have neglected nothing in the task
with which I have entrusted you?
[13:55] Adrian
Of course, Your Lordship.
[13:58] Bishop
It is for this purpose that
our precursors chose Fezzan,
[14:02] Bishop
sent Earth's faithful there,
and began to accumulate wealth.
[14:09] Bishop

[14:11] Adrian
Your Lordship?

me?

It is time.
[15:33] Na
Erwin Josef II's coronation was,
[15:36] Na
out of respect for the new emperor's
age, quite a brief ceremony.
[15:49] Na
Per the decision of the
new regent, Lichtenlade,
[15:52] Na
Reinhard was promoted from count to marquis
[15:58] Na
and assumed the position of
commander-in-chief of the Imperial Space Fleet.
[16:04] Na
Reinhard then promoted Kircheis
two ranks, to high admiral,
[16:11] Na
and appointed him vice commander
of the Imperial Space Fleet.
[16:23] Paul
It is good to have a long-time
friend at your side,
[16:25] Paul
and just as well to have a
capable second-in-command.
[16:28] Paul
But to have the same person filling
both of those roles is risky.
[16:33] Reinhard
Watch yourself, Oberstein.
[16:35] Reinhard
I've made my decision.
[16:49] Na
As for Oberstein, he was
promoted to vice admiral
[16:53] Na
and appointed the concurrent positions of
chief of staff of the Imperial Space Fleet
[16:56] Na
and chief director of the Lohengramm
Fleet Admiral's Mansion.
[16:59] Na
Mückenberger resigned as commander-in-chief
of the Imperial Space Fleet
[17:04] Na
and retired from the military.
SIGN Former Imperial Space Fleet Commander-in-Chief
Gregor von Mückenberger
[17:37] Gregor
I tried to resign at the time
of the fall of Iserlohn.
[17:42] Gregor
I knew this day would come sooner or later.
[17:47] Gregor
I suspect you knew it, as well.
[18:59] Reinhard
Is it to your liking?
[19:02] Reinhard
You said you wanted the
smallest mansion possible.
[19:06] Annerose
Thank you, Reinhard.
[19:08] Annerose
It truly is lovely, just as I'd heard.
[19:19] Reinhard
I will not put you through
any more suffering.
[19:26] Reinhard
From now on,
[19:28] Reinhard
I pray you will be happy.
[19:45] Reinhard
This won't be the end of it.
[19:48] Reinhard
We won't be able to avoid
conflict with the nobles.
[19:54] Reinhard
The battle may split the Empire in two.
[19:58] Kircheis
I am in consultation with Admirals
Mittermeyer and Reuenthal.
[20:02] Kircheis
The formulation of our strategy
is proceeding smoothly.
[20:06] Kircheis
But there is one thing that concerns me.
[20:10] Reinhard
What the rebels will do, right?
[20:13] Kircheis
Indeed.
[20:14] Reinhard
Don't worry, Kircheis.
[20:16] Reinhard
I have an idea.
[20:18] Reinhard
No matter how clever
Yang Wen-li's tactics may be,
[20:21] Reinhard
I have a plan to ensure
he can't leave Iserlohn.
[20:24] Kircheis
What is it?
[20:27] Reinhard
Basically, this...
[21:02] Yang
To think, a five-year-old emperor...
[21:07] Yang
In any case, this will most likely
mean civil war in the Empire.
[21:18] Yang
I find myself feeling tempted.
[21:20] Julius
Huh?
[21:21] Yang
Oh, nothing.
[21:24] Yang
Honestly, when all people
think about is winning,
[21:28] Yang
they become absolutely despicable.
[21:38] Yang
Thanks.
[21:40] Yang
By the way, I hear Schönkopf has
been teaching you how to shoot.
[21:44] Yang
How's that going?
[21:45] Julius
The commodore says I have a knack for it.
[21:49] Yang
Oh? That's good to hear.
[21:52] Julius
You don't practice shooting
at all. Shouldn't you?
[21:58] Yang
Apparently, I don't have the talent for it.
[22:02] Julius
Then how do you protect yourself?
[22:05] Yang
If a commanding officer had to take
up firearms to protect himself,
[22:10] Yang
he'd never win any wars.
[22:12] Yang
I'm always thinking about how to avoid
being caught in that situation.
[22:18] Julius
That's true.
[22:19] Julius
Okay, then I'll protect you.
[22:22] Yang
I'll be counting on it.
[22:24] Julius
Of course!
[22:26] Julius
All right, first...
[22:27] Na
Carrying many thoughts, the universe turns...
[23:00] Na
In the year UC 796,
[23:03] Na
or IC 487,
[23:06] Na
neither Marquis Reinhard von

[23:10] Na
could foresee all that
lay in their own future.

SIGN Legend of the Galactic Heroes
[02:55] Yang
As you all know,
[02:57] Yang
the special envoy from the Empire has
brought us an interesting proposal.
[03:00] Yang
Our navy, when it took this
fortress from the Empire,
[03:04] Yang
and the Imperial Navy,
during the Battle of Amritsar,
[03:08] Yang
both took many war prisoners.
[03:11] Yang
They have proposed that we trade them here.
[03:14] Alex
They're framing this as an amnesty out of
respect to the death of their emperor,
[03:18] Alex
but it's not easy for either side
to keep two million prisoners fed.
[03:24] Yang
But that's not their true intention.
[03:28] Yang
I suspect they're facing a situation far
more serious than feeding prisoners.
[03:34] Dusty
What do you mean?
[03:36] Yang
Reinhard von Lohengramm, who's been
raised to the rank of a marquis,
[03:42] Yang
has made up his mind to initiate
armed conflict with the nobility.
[03:47] Yang
I believe that's a fair assumption.
[03:49] Yang
The exchange of war prisoners
[03:51] Yang
would be one step in his
preparations for that.
SIGN The returned Imperial soldiers would follow Marquis Lohengramm, their savior.
SIGN I see. He is thorough.
[04:04] Yang
Of course, our options at
the moment are limited,
[04:08] Yang

[06:32] Na
The exchange of prisoners was carried out
[06:37] Na
with such an air of dignity that it
was hard to believe the two nations
[06:41] Na

[06:55] Kircheis
I suppose all this formality is necessary,
[06:59] Kircheis
but it seems rather ridiculous,
doesn't it, Admiral Yang?
[07:02] Yang
I agree with that.
[07:04] Kircheis
I consider myself fortunate to have had
the opportunity to meet you in this way.

Huh?!
[08:27] Yang
Siegfried Kircheis...
[08:30] Julian
He was quite a pleasant man.
[08:32] Yang
Yeah.
[08:33] Yang
It seems wrong to have a better impression
of an enemy commander than of
[08:37] Yang
our own nation's politicians, though.
[08:41] Yang
Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm...
[08:45] Yang
I'm interested in meeting him now.
[08:57] Reinhard
Good work.
[09:00] Reinhard
So?
[09:01] Reinhard
What was Yang Wen-li like?
[09:04] Kircheis
Yes, sir.
[09:06] Kircheis
To be frank, he seemed a far cry from
the great admiral he's celebrated as.
[09:11] Kircheis
He has an air of
immeasurable prudence,
[09:14] Kircheis
but gave no clues as to where
his true intentions lie.
[09:18] Kircheis
That's what makes him so intimidating.
[09:20] Kircheis
That was my impression.
[09:23] Reinhard
Oh?
[09:25] Kircheis
I may be giving him too much credit,
[09:28] Kircheis
but it's possible he's
figured out our plan.

[11:26] Yang
Earth Cult?
[11:27] Julian
Yes.
[11:29] Julian
Some of them were gathered outside
the ceremonial hall earlier, too.
[11:32] Julian
"The holy planet Earth is the
human beings' homeland.
[11:36] Julian
Take part in the holy war to emancipate
Earth from the Galactic Empire.
[11:40] Julian
Build the cathedral to guide all of our souls."
[11:46] Yang
Imagine that...
[11:49] Yang
Earth hasn't been the center of human
society for eight centuries now.
[12:07] Julian
I bet no one would even imagine
[12:09] Julian
an admiral of the Alliance Navy
eating street food in a place like this.
[12:13] Yang
This is the kind of food
that's familiar to me.
[12:16] Yang
Back in cadet school, this was the best
stuff to eat when breaking curfew.
[12:24] Julian
I guess even you lived
like that at one time.
[12:43] Yang
I just keep adding more to the list
of things I can never get back.
[12:53] Yang
Julian, this is Admiral Bewcock.
[12:56] Julian
Huh?!
[12:58] Bewcock
Were you waiting long?
[13:00] Yang
Not at all.
[13:01] Yang
Julian.
[13:03] Yang
Would you keep an eye on the area for me?
[13:05] Julian
Yes, sir.
[13:12] Bewcock
So, let's hear what you have to say.
[13:15] Yang
Yes, sir.
[13:17] Yang
It's possible that a coup d'état
will occur in this country soon.
[13:23] Bewcock
A coup d'état, you say?
[13:25] Yang
Yes.
[13:28] Yang
Marquis Lohengramm's true intention in
proposing the exchange of war prisoners
[13:33] Yang
was to prepare for a battle against
the nobility for supremacy.
[13:39] Yang
Once the Empire enters a state of civil war,
[13:42] Yang
they'll want to avoid allowing any
openings for our navy to attack.
[13:48] Yang
However, they can't spare
precious military strength
[13:51] Yang
to keep our forces in check.
[13:55] Yang
So they won't go into this without a strategy.
[13:58] Bewcock
I see... And that's where
the coup d'état comes in.
[14:02] Bewcock
The Empire will pull the strings to start
an uprising within the Alliance.
[14:07] Yang
And they'll most likely start
simultaneous revolts in the frontier.
[14:13] Bewcock
And while our forces are
deployed to suppress them,
[14:16] Bewcock
they'll seize the capital, the center of power.
[14:19] Bewcock
If that works, everything will go their way,
[14:22] Bewcock
but can a theoretical plan
like that really succeed?
[14:26] Yang
As far as Marquis Lohengramm is concerned,
[14:28] Yang
the coup d'état doesn't need to be successful.
[14:32] Yang
His goal is to divide the
Alliance forces and cause chaos.
[14:37] Bewcock
But how does he expect to do all
that within the Alliance itself?
[14:42] Bewcock
Of course! The war prisoner exchange!
[14:45] Yang
Yes.
[14:47] Yang
Mixing spies in with the soldiers they
returned would be the simplest way.
[14:51] Bewcock
Two million suspects...
[14:54] Bewcock
It's just too many.
[14:56] Bewcock
It'll be extremely difficult to learn
of anything before it happens.
[15:02] Bewcock
Damn, what a lot of hassle
he's causing us...
[15:05] Yang
True, but if others do it all for him,
he won't have to do much work at all.
[15:12] Bewcock
So I need to prevent a coup d'état without
knowing who's going to cause it, or when.
[15:20] Bewcock
That's a big responsibility.
[15:24] Yang
I have one other favor to ask.
[15:26] Bewcock
There's more?!
[15:28] Yang
I'm sorry...
[15:33] Julian
Will the day ever come when I get to know
[15:36] Julian
what the admirals are talking about?
[15:43] Bewcock
I'll have the thing you asked for delivered
to you before you leave Heinessen.
[15:48] Yang
I appreciate it.
[15:51] Bewcock
Tell me just one last thing.
[15:55] Bewcock
You guessed the strategy
Marquis Lohengramm would use.
[15:59] Bewcock
Could that be because you've considered
doing something similar to the Empire?
[16:08] Yang
If I'm being honest, I've felt tempted before.
[16:13] Yang
But I'm just one soldier.
[16:16] Yang
I can only do what is possible
for me within that position.
[16:23] Bewcock
I see. All right, then.
[16:27] Bewcock
I'll be going.
[16:29] Yang
Please take care.
[16:42] Dwight
Beginning with the planet Nephthys,
[16:44] Dwight
we will start military uprisings sequentially
on these four frontier planets,
[16:49] Dwight
leaving the capital of Heinessen
without its fighting forces.
[16:53] Dwight
A few of our best soldiers will then
take control of the most vital points,
[16:57] Dwight
and we will seize the political center.
[17:01] Dwight
Now, there is one person
who poses a problem:
[17:05] Dwight
Admiral Yang Wen-li, the commander
of Iserlohn Fortress.
[17:10] Dwight
We haven't made him one of us yet.
[17:13] Dwight
Any opinions on that?
[17:15] Bronze
His intelligence and popularity
would certainly be useful...
[17:19] Guy
We can't ignore Iserlohn's valuable
military potential, either.
[17:23] Legrange
If we can get him on our side,
[17:26] Legrange
we'll be able to take control of the entire
territory from both Heinessen and Iserlohn.
[17:30] Guy
But we're short on time.
[17:31] Guy
Do you think we can talk him into it?
[17:34] Falk
That man?
[17:36] Falk
I don't see why we need him on our side.
[17:40] Dwight
Don't let your emotions get the better of you.
[17:42] Dwight
It's true that we're short on time—
[17:44] Gatty
But, sir...
[17:45] Gatty
It's also true that the Yang Fleet
would be a threat to us.
[17:50] Dwight
Based on our advantage in distance,
I think we should strike first,
[17:54] Dwight
then deal with Yang and his fleet
after we take over the capital.
[17:59] Dwight
Artemis's Necklace is set up throughout
Planet Heinessen's orbit.
[18:06] Dwight
Even the Yang Fleet won't be able
to enter the capital easily
[18:09] Dwight
with that air defense system in place.
[18:12] Dwight
That alone gives us room to negotiate.
[18:16] Falk
Then, just to be safe,
[18:18] Falk
I suggest we send some
of our men to Iserlohn.
[18:22] Falk
If he does anything that would
put us at a disadvantage,
[18:26] Falk
having eyes on him would enable
us to eliminate him immediately.
[18:30] Bronze
He's right. If we do that,
we'll be prepared to act if necessary.
[18:34] Gatty
That might actually be a good idea.
[18:41] Dwight
Fine. We'll adopt that suggestion.
[18:45] Dwight
Let's choose who to send immediately.
[18:48] Dwight
But first, I must confirm this with all of you.
[18:52] Dwight
Our goal is to purge the
current political system,
[18:57] Dwight
which has lost its ideals
and become corrupt.
[19:02] Dwight
To restore the freedom and
democracy this nation once had
[19:06] Dwight
and start a new political system
[19:08] Dwight
is what drives us to take action now.
[19:12] Dwight
This is a battle for justice
that cannot be avoided
[19:16] Dwight
if we are to rebuild this nation.
[19:22] Dwight
I will now give an overview of our strategy.
[19:26] Dwight
The first step takes place
on the planet Nephthys.
[19:28] Lynch
Purge... Rebuild... Battle for justice...
[19:33] Lynch
You fools.
[19:35] Lynch
You don't know anything.
[19:39] Lynch
Not a damn thing.
[19:49] (Flashback) Paul
Alliance Navy Rear Admiral Arthur Lynch.
[19:54] (Flashback) Paul
Nine years since our navy
took you prisoner.
[19:57] (Flashback) Paul
Currently undergoing correction
in our internment camp.
[20:00] (Flashback) Paul
Your behavior and attitude
are extremely poor.
[20:06] (Flashback) Paul
So this is what has become
of the coward of El Facil.
[20:10] (Flashback) Lynch
What the hell do you know?!
[20:26] (Flashback) Lynch
Who are you?
[20:28] (Flashback) Reinhard
Reinhard von Lohengramm.
[20:31] (Flashback) Lynch
Oh? So you're Lohengramm?
[20:34] (Flashback) Lynch
You're young. Too young.
[20:37] (Flashback) Lynch
You're practically just a kid.
[20:40] (Flashback) Reinhard
Nine years ago, just before the
fall of the planet El Facil,
[20:44] (Flashback) Reinhard
you shamelessly abandoned the soldiers
and the people you were to protect,
[20:47] (Flashback) Reinhard
ran away to save yourself,
and ended up our prisoner.
[20:51] (Flashback) Lynch
I didn't run away!
[20:53] (Flashback) Lynch
I just went to request reinforcements!
[20:57] (Flashback) Lynch
And then... And then,
that damned Yang Wen-li...
[21:01] (Flashback) Reinhard
If that excuse had worked
for you even once,
[21:04] (Flashback) Reinhard
would your former men in the internment
camp have shown you such contempt?
[21:16] (Flashback) Lynch
I wasn't wrong.
[21:18] (Flashback) Lynch
I know my plan was right.
[21:18] (Flashback) Kircheis
Can a man like this really be useful to us?
[21:21] (Flashback) Lynch
Given the situation, I needed
to call for reinforcements.
[21:22] (Flashback) Reinhard
I'll make him useful, Kircheis.
[21:24] (Flashback) Lynch
That's why I got out of there so
that the enemy wouldn't see me.
[21:25] (Flashback) Reinhard
Otherwise, this man...
[21:28] (Flashback) Reinhard
doesn't deserve to live.
[21:29] (Flashback) Lynch
If I could've called reinforcements,
[21:30] (Flashback) Lynch
we could've turned the Imperial Navy back
[21:32] (Flashback) Reinhard
Listen to me, Lynch.
[21:33] (Flashback) Lynch
and we could've easily reclaimed El Facil.
[21:34] (Flashback) Reinhard
I'm going to give you a job.
You are to complete it.
[21:37] (Flashback) Lynch
Yeah. Nothing I did was wrong.
[21:38] (Flashback) Reinhard
If you're successful,
[21:39] (Flashback) Reinhard
I'll grant you the position of rear
admiral in the Imperial Navy.
[21:43] (Flashback) Lynch
Rear admiral?
[21:47] (Flashback) Lynch
Rear admiral, you say?
[21:49] (Flashback) Lynch
Well, that doesn't sound half bad.
[21:51] (Flashback) Lynch
And what do you want me to do?
[21:56] (Flashback) Reinhard
Infiltrate the Free Planets Alliance Navy,
[21:58] (Flashback) Reinhard
agitate any discontented members
you find among their ranks,
[22:01] (Flashback) Reinhard
and lead them in a coup d'état.
[22:03] (Flashback) Reinhard
You'll find the details in that book.
[22:05] (Flashback) Reinhard
Do as it says, and you're sure to succeed.
[22:10] (Flashback) Lynch
You're a liar.
[22:12] (Flashback) Lynch
If I mess up, I guarantee I'll be killed.
[22:17] (Flashback) Reinhard
If that happens, go ahead and die!
[22:20] (Flashback) Reinhard
Right now, you are worth
less than an insect.
[22:23] (Flashback) Reinhard
You're a coward.
[22:25] (Flashback) Reinhard
No one understands you.
[22:27] (Flashback) Reinhard
If anyone scorns you,
there's no one to stand up for you.
[22:31] (Flashback) Reinhard
No one!
[22:32] (Flashback) Reinhard
Even then, do you still value your life?!
[22:50] Lynch
That's right. I'm a coward.
[22:55] Lynch
I have nothing to offer you now.
[22:59] Lynch
So I might as well keep living like a coward,
[23:02] Lynch
shameless to the very end.
[23:05] Lynch
The moment you learn how worthless and
futile your so-called battle for justice is...
[23:10] Lynch
I'm truly going to enjoy
the looks on your faces.

[02:15] Hilda
Father.
[02:18] Franz
Oh, Hilda.
[02:20] Hilda
I've just returned home.
[02:22] Franz
Welcome home.
[02:23] Franz
How are things going at college?
[02:25] Hilda
Just fine.
[02:27] Franz
What were you thinking about, Father?
[02:30] Franz
Oh, nothing of importance.
[02:33] Hilda
Well, that's certainly reassuring.
[02:37] Hilda
So I suppose the fate
of the Galactic Empire
[02:39] Hilda
and the future of the Mariendorf
family are "nothing of importance."
[02:46] Hilda
Living on Odin, I hear all about it
whether I want to or not.
[02:50] Hilda
The nobles are all in a panic over
whom they should be siding with.
[02:55] Franz
I see.
[02:57] Hilda
Have you decided what you'll do?
[03:05] Franz
I would prefer to remain neutral.
[03:07] Franz
But if I absolutely must choose a side,
[03:12] Franz
then we...
[03:14] Franz
will side with Duke Braunschweig.
[03:16] Franz
As imperial nobility, that would be—
[03:18] Hilda
Father.
[03:24] Hilda
There is a fact that nearly all of
the nobles refuse to acknowledge.
[03:29] Hilda
Just as all people born will eventually die,
[03:31] Hilda
nations also face unavoidable death.
[03:35] Hilda
Ever since civilization was
born on Planet Earth,
[03:39] Hilda
there hasn't been a single nation
that didn't fall.
[03:43] Hilda
Why should the Goldenbaum Dynasty of the
Galactic Empire be the only exception?
[03:50] Franz
Hilda, you...
[03:52] Hilda
The Goldenbaum Dynasty has
survived for nearly 500 years.
[03:56] Hilda
During that time, they have controlled the
people with their warped power structure
[04:01] Hilda
and done everything out of a
desire for wealth and power.
[04:05] Hilda
They have killed people,
stolen other families' daughters,
[04:08] Hilda
and created laws for their own benefit.
[04:13] Hilda
It wouldn't be surprising
in the least if such a nation
[04:17] Hilda
were on the verge of collapse.
[04:20] Franz
Perhaps, but still,
[04:23] Franz
is there any reason we should
side with Marquis Lohengramm?
[04:26] Hilda
There is.
[04:32] Franz
Very well, Hilda.
I leave the decision to you.
[04:41] Hilda
Thank you, Father.
[04:45] Hilda
I'm truly grateful that you brought me into
this life during such an exciting age.

I apologize for the wait.
SIGN Sub-lieutenant Theodor von Rücke
[05:07] Rücke
He has agreed to meet you.
[05:09] Rücke
This way, please.
[05:12] Reinhard
It's a shame Kircheis isn't here.
[05:14] Reinhard
He has something of a connection
to the Mariendorf household.
[05:18] Reinhard
Do you know of it?
[05:19] Hilda
Yes, of course.
[05:21] Hilda
He saved my father's life during
the Castrop Rebellion.
[05:26] Reinhard
And? What is your business with me?
[05:29] Hilda
The Mariendorf family would like
to ally with you in this civil war.
[05:37] Reinhard
Civil war?
[05:38] Hilda
The one you might start at any
moment with Duke Braunschweig.
[05:42] Reinhard
You're a bold woman.
[05:44] Reinhard
Even if that does happen,
there's no guarantee I will win.
[05:48] Reinhard
You still wish to ally with me?
[05:51] Hilda
Yes. Your Excellency will win.
[05:54] Reinhard
Oh?
[05:55] Reinhard
Is there a reason you're so confident?
[05:57] Hilda
Yes, of course.
[06:01] Hilda
First, Your Excellency and
Marquis Lichtenlade have the new emperor
[06:06] Hilda
and the just cause of subjugating
any who defy that emperor.
[06:11] Hilda
Duke Braunschweig and
Marquis Littenheim, on the other hand,
[06:15] Hilda
are only trying to start a war
for their own glory and profit.
[06:20] Hilda
For that reason...
[06:22] (Flashback) Hilda
They have only temporarily joined forces,
[06:25] (Flashback) Hilda
but they lack the will to work together.
[06:28] (Flashback) Hilda
They cannot defeat the unified will and
chain of command of the Lohengramm forces.
[06:34] (Flashback) Hilda
And finally...
[06:36] (Flashback) Hilda
Marquis Lohengramm was born into
a noble family of low standing,
[06:40] (Flashback) Hilda
but I believe his low birth will be
the primary reason for his victory.
[06:45] (Flashback) Hilda
That is because all his
soldiers are commoners.
[06:50] Hilda
I believe Your Excellency will
do away with old values
[06:54] Hilda
and build a new age through this civil war.
[06:59] Reinhard
I see. Very well.
[07:01] Reinhard
If that is the case, I do want an ally.
[07:05] Reinhard
I will be certain to return this favor.
[07:09] Reinhard
Of course, I will treat the
Mariendorf family well,
[07:12] Reinhard
and I promise to extend the same treatment
to any families you recommend.
[07:16] Hilda
I'm sure your generous words
[07:18] Hilda
will make it easy to persuade
my friends and relatives.
[07:22] Reinhard
Of course. You kindly offered
to become my ally.
[07:26] Reinhard
This is the least I can do to
repay your effort and courage.
[07:30] Reinhard
If there is anything at all I can do, just ask.
[07:34] Reinhard
No need to hesitate.
[07:36] Hilda
In that case, there is one
favor I'd like to ask of you.
[07:41] Reinhard
Go ahead.
[07:42] Hilda
As a reward for the
Mariendorf family's loyalty,
[07:47] Hilda
I would like an official document
guaranteeing us the rights
[07:50] Hilda
to our family's property and territory.
[07:55] Reinhard
Oh? An official document?
[07:58] Hilda
Yes.
[08:01] Reinhard
Very well.
[08:03] Reinhard
I will have it ready for you today.
[08:07] Hilda
Thank you very much.
[08:08] Hilda
The Mariendorf family swears
absolute loyalty to you.
[08:16] Reinhard
By the way, Fraulein Mariendorf,
[08:19] Reinhard
will the other households
you persuade to join us
[08:22] Reinhard
require the same thing?
[08:24] Hilda
I would appreciate it if you would
provide it for those who ask for it.
[08:29] Hilda
Those who don't, I believe,
have no real need of it.
[08:33] Reinhard
Well, then...
[08:35] Hilda
I believe Your Excellency has
the insight to recognize
[08:39] Hilda
those with the strength
to live in the new age.
[08:42] Reinhard
Then that's exactly what I shall do.
[08:45] Reinhard
All that aside, you are
quite the shrewd woman.
[08:49] Reinhard
I had no idea there were nobles like you.
[08:55] Reinhard
Enter.
[08:57] Paul
Your Excellency, we have received a report.
[09:00] Reinhard
Ah, it's here.
[09:01] Reinhard
Fraulein Mariendorf, this has been enjoyable.
[09:04] Reinhard
I hope we meet again.
[09:07] Hilda
Of course.
[09:24] Na
In what would be known
as the Lippstadt Pact,
[09:28] Na
the nobles who opposed the
Lohengramm-Lichtenlade axis came together
[09:34] Na
and established an alliance.
[09:36] Na
Its leader was Duke Otho von Braunschweig,
[09:40] Na
and under him was
Marquis Wilhelm von Littenheim.
[09:44] Na
Participating nobles numbered around 3,740,
[09:47] Na
and their soldiers outnumbered
Reinhard's regular force.

They dubbed their alliance the
Lippstadt Nobles Coalition.

He intends to eradicate all those

[11:23] Flegel
How dare he say such a thing?
[11:26] Flegel
He's mocking us!
[11:28] Wilhelm
I guess Mückenberger is getting on in years.
[11:30] Otho
In any case, you shouldn't take
such action on your own.
[11:34] Otho
As the leader of this alliance, so long
as I'm in command on the front lines—
[11:37] Wilhelm
No, I don't think the alliance leader

You can ask all you like,

[12:13] Merkatz
Won't you reconsider fighting
such a fruitless battle?
[12:18] Otho
Admiral, this is a righteous battle
to protect the Goldenbaum Dynasty.
[12:24] Otho
Calling that fruitless or
meaningless makes you a traitor.
[12:29] Flegel
And not just you, Admiral Merkatz,
[12:33] Flegel
but your family, as well.
[12:39] Otho
Flegel.
[12:41] Otho
It seems the young folks are
brimming with the desire to fight.
[12:45] Otho
They have said that all
traitors should be punished.
[12:50] Merkatz
Then I accept your request,
though my abilities are modest.
[12:54] Merkatz
However...
[12:59] Schneider
He agreed to your condition that he
would follow military regulations.
[13:02] Schneider
Is that not good enough?
[13:06] Merkatz
Lieutenant Commander Schneider,
you are still young.
[13:10] Merkatz
Duke Braunschweig's response
was mere lip service.
[13:14] Merkatz
Soon, I will be hated even more
than Marquis Lohengramm.
SIGN Lieutenant Commander Bernhard von Schneider
[13:19] Schneider
S-Surely not...
[13:23] Merkatz
Privilege is the worst poison of all.
It rots away a person's spirit.
[13:27] Merkatz
And those high nobles have been steeped
in it for dozens of generations.
[13:33] Merkatz
Justifying themselves while blaming others
has become instinctive for them.
[13:39] Merkatz
I didn't even realize that until I came into
contact with the lower-ranked soldiers.
[13:50] Na
In all his life,
[13:53] Na
Merkatz had never struggled so much to find
the right words as he did that night.
[13:58] Na
The letter that he wrote with
so much love in every word
[14:02] Na
was a farewell letter to
his wife and children.
[14:08] Otho
Don't be ridiculous!
[14:10] Otho
Assassinate him?!
[14:12] Otho
The 3,000 nobles who answered
my call to gather here
[14:16] Otho
are already on the move.
SIGN Captain Anton Fellner
[14:18] Otho
And in this righteous initiative,
[14:20] Otho
you suggest such a cowardly
method as assassinating—
SIGN Commodore Arthur von Streit
[14:23] Streit
But, Your Excellency...
[14:24] Otho
I intend to defeat that blond boy
in a head-to-head confrontation.
[14:29] Otho
Doing this will prove my righteousness
and ability to all the Empire.
[14:35] Otho
And you want to sully my honor
with such a suggestion?!
[14:39] Streit
Your Excellency!
[14:41] Streit
This is difficult for me to say,
[14:43] Streit
but Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm
is a genius tactician.
[14:46] Streit
Even if we fight him and win,
there will be many sacrifices,
[14:49] Streit
and harm will come to the people...
[14:52] Otho
What do you mean by "even if we win"?!
[14:55] Otho
I have no need for men who
lack faith in our victory!
[14:58] Otho
Ansbach, where are you?!
[15:00] Otho
Remove this useless trash at once!
[15:13] Fellner
Thank you all for coming.
[15:14] Fellner
I appreciate it.
[15:16] Fellner
What we're about to do will be a
secret to the alliance leader.
[15:21] Fellner
We can't get close to
Marquis Lohengramm with these numbers,
[15:25] Fellner
but we should be able to take his sister,
Countess Grünewald, hostage.
[15:42] Fellner
The plan's off!
[15:45] Fellner
Retreat immediately!
[15:47] Fellner
Retre—
[16:08] Reinhard
You want to serve under my command?
[16:13] Reinhard
In that case, how did your
sense of loyalty permit you
[16:17] Reinhard
to make the decision to desert
your lord of many years?
[16:21] Fellner
Loyalty should be offered to one
who understands its worth.
[16:27] Reinhard
Such impudent words...
[16:29] Reinhard
Very well.
[16:31] Reinhard
Oberstein.
[16:32] Reinhard
Take him under your command.
[16:35] Paul
Yes, sir.
[16:39] Flegel
What a disgrace!
[16:41] Flegel
What treachery!
[16:42] Flegel
What a shameless display!
[16:45] Flegel
Uncle, soldiers who defy our will
[16:47] Flegel
and act of their own accord
should be severely punished!
[16:51] Otho
Yes. I will punish him myself.
[16:55] Ansbach
Your Grace.
[16:56] Ansbach
Departing from Odin is far more
important than this right now.
[17:02] Ansbach
Now that this has happened,
the enemy could move at any time.
SIGN Commodore Ansbach
[17:05] Ansbach
We should return to the domain and regroup.
[17:09] Otho
Hurry it up, then!
Don't waste a moment, Ansbach!
[17:16] Paul
Duke Braunschweig has escaped
Odin with his family.
[17:21] Paul
The remaining nobles will soon do the same.
[17:24] Paul
Their most likely destination is Geiersburg.
[17:28] Kircheis
Our operation to send a spy
to the Free Planets Alliance
[17:32] Kircheis
is proceeding according to plan, as well.
[17:34] Kircheis
I believe the time is ripe for battle.
[17:41] Na
All the admirals who received
the order from Reinhard
[17:44] Na
launched into action at once.
[17:48] Na
First, Bittenfeld led armed soldiers
in occupying the Ministry of War.
[18:05] Ehrenberg
Who gave you permission to enter here?
[18:08] Ehrenberg
I don't know what it is you want,
[18:11] Ehrenberg
but it's clear you have no interest
in observing proper decorum.
SIGN Galactic Empire Military Chief of Staff
Fleet Admiral Ehrenberg
[18:15] Fritz
My apologies.
[18:17] Fritz
What I want is
[18:19] Fritz
for all people to be aware
that the times are changing.
[18:25] Na
They detained Military Chief
of Staff Ehrenberg,
[18:28] Na
then they occupied the
Supreme Command Headquarters
SIGN Galactic Imperial Navy Supreme Command Headquarters Chief
Fleet Admiral Steinhof
[18:31] Na
and detained its chief,
Fleet Admiral Steinhof.
[18:51] Klaus
What of the outcome?
[18:53] Oskar
Without flaw, sir.
[19:01] Na
At the same time, at the space harbor,
[19:03] Na
soldiers under Mittermeyer's command
[19:05] Na
were waiting to catch the nobles
who attempted to flee.
[19:09] Na
And the satellite orbit above Odin
[19:13] Na
was completely secured by the
fleets led by Wahlen and Kempff.
[19:19] Na
Among the nobles they captured was Streit.
[19:24] Reinhard
I've received intelligence that you advised
Duke Braunschweig to assassinate me.
[19:30] Reinhard
Is this true?
[19:31] Streit
It is true.
[19:33] Reinhard
Ah, so you admit it?
[19:35] Reinhard
Why did you suggest such a thing?
[19:37] Streit
Because I knew that this would
happen if we left you alive.
[19:42] Streit
If only my lord were more decisive...
[19:45] Streit
It is regrettable not only for
the house of Duke Braunschweig,
[19:51] Streit
but for all of the Goldenbaum Dynasty.
[19:55] Reinhard
Remove his handcuffs.
[20:00] Reinhard
It would be a shame to kill him.
[20:03] Reinhard
I will issue a permit of passage.
[20:05] Reinhard
Return to Duke Braunschweig
[20:07] Reinhard
and prove your loyalty to him.
[20:11] Streit
Actually, if it pleases Your Excellency,
[20:15] Streit
might I have permission
to remain here on Odin?
[20:19] Reinhard
Why?
[20:20] Streit
If I return to my lord,
[20:22] Streit
he would suspect me of
collusion and punish me.
[20:25] Streit
He is the kind of man
[20:27] Streit
who abandoned many of his subordinates
and retainers in his escape from Odin.
[20:30] Streit
The loyalty of his men means nothing.
[20:33] Reinhard
Fine.
[20:35] Reinhard
Why don't you become one of my men, then?
[20:39] Streit
I appreciate the offer,
[20:41] Streit
but I have no desire to see my lord
until today be my enemy tomorrow.
[20:45] Streit
Please forgive me.
[20:52] Na
Emperor Erwin Josef II gave Reinhard the
title of Imperial Fleet Commander-in-Chief.
[21:01] Klaus
By imperial order,
[21:03] Klaus
you are to subjugate Duke Braunschweig
[21:05] Klaus
and his followers for plotting
treason against the emperor.
[21:10] Reinhard
Yes, sir.
[21:14] Guy
Your Excellency, please wait!
[21:20] Guy
I need Your Excellency to provide a
public name for the enemy forces.
[21:25] Reinhard
A public name?
[21:27] Guy
Yes.
[21:28] Guy
This is necessary for our official records.
[21:31] Guy
They have called themselves
"Lords for Justice"...
[21:36] Reinhard
There is only one fitting name for them.
[21:39] Reinhard
Call them the traitors.
[21:40] Guy
The... traitors?
[21:44] Reinhard
Inform all in the Empire that
this is what I have decided.
[21:49] Reinhard
Make sure the ones going by
that name are informed, too.
[21:52] Reinhard
Tell them, "You are traitors."
[22:34] Reinhard
We'll be parting ways for a while, Kircheis.
[22:38] Kircheis
Yes.
[22:40] Reinhard
Soon...
[22:42] Reinhard
Soon, the entire universe will be ours.
[22:46] Kircheis
Indeed. It will all belong to you.
[22:52] Kircheis
I wish you the best, Reinhard.

SIGN Capital Planet Heinessen
SIGN Integrated Tactical Operations Center
[00:25] Whitty
You have a lunch meeting scheduled
with Chairman Trunicht at 11:00.
SIGN Captain Whitty
SIGN Integrated Tactical Operations Center Chief
Admiral Cubersly
[00:31] Cubersly
All right.
[00:33] Falk
Chief Cubersly!
[00:37] Falk
It's good to see you again. I'm Falk.
[00:40] Cubersly
I heard you were away on medical leave.
[00:44] Falk
As you can see, I've fully recovered.
SIGN Reserve Commodore Andrew Falk
[00:47] Falk
I'm here today to request
a return to active duty.
[00:52] Cubersly
Active duty? Has your doctor approved this?
[00:56] Falk
Of course. He says I've fully recovered.
[00:58] Falk
He has no objections to my return.
[01:01] Cubersly
I see. Then you should go
through the formal procedure.
[01:05] Cubersly
Submit your request to
[01:06] Cubersly
the National Defense Committee
along with a statement from your doctor.
[01:09] Cubersly
Only when that is approved
will you be formally—
[01:13] Falk
But that will take too long.
[01:15] Falk
I want to start today, if possible,
and be of use to the nation.
[01:19] Cubersly
Formal procedures always take
time, Reserve Commander.
[01:24] Falk
Which is why I hoped you could—
[01:27] Cubersly
You seem to misunderstand.
[01:30] Cubersly
My job is to see that procedures
are followed, not broken.
[01:36] Cubersly
You seem to think you're entitled
to special treatment,
[01:40] Cubersly
but it looks to me like you
haven't fully recovered yet.
[01:44] Cubersly
If you return to active duty now,
your lack of cooperation will bring disorder.
[01:49] Cubersly
That would be bad for both
you and those around you.
[01:53] Cubersly
Take my advice and try again later.
[01:56] Whitty
Chief, it's almost time.
[01:59] Cubersly
All right. So long, then.
[02:11] Whitty
Sir!
[02:19] Whitty
Sir!
[02:22] Whitty
A doctor! Get a doctor!
SIGN Legend of the Galactic Heroes
[04:05] Na
Reserve Commander Andrew Falk's
unprecedented assassination attempt
SIGN Vice Admiral Bronze
[04:11] Na
on Integrated Tactical Operations Center
Chief Cubersly, a key military figure,
[04:16] Na
deepened the despair felt in the aftermath
of the failed invasion of the Empire
[04:22] Na
and further fueled the people's anxieties.
[04:29] Bewcock
They want me, the fleet commander-in-chief,
to act as the interim chief?
[04:33] Pfeifer
Yes, sir.
[04:34] Pfeifer
We received a confidential request
from the National Defense Committee.
[04:38] Bewcock
Tell them I decline.
[04:40] Bewcock
Having the Integrated Tactical
Operations Center chief
[04:42] Bewcock
and the fleet commander-in-chief be the
same person would be problematic.
[04:47] Bewcock
We must disperse any risks.
SIGN Lieutenant Commander Pfeifer
SIGN Sub-lieutenant Gatty
[04:52] Na
In such a turbulent state of affairs,
[04:54] Na
it was thought that selecting an
interim chief would not be easy,
[04:57] Na
but one man volunteered for the position:
[05:00] Na
a man of meager popularity
at best, Admiral Dawson.
SIGN Admiral Dawson
[05:06] Bewcock
Maybe I should've taken the job after all.
[05:10] Na
Unfortunately, the very next
day, an accident occurred.
[05:15] Na
There was an explosion at the maintenance
center of the Heinessen Air Defense Base.
[05:22] Na
There were fourteen casualties,
[05:24] Na
and all of them were young
soldiers in their teens.
[05:28] Na
This was a terrible shock to everyone.
[05:33] Jessica
This is the result of the war
with the Galactic Empire
[05:37] Jessica
that has dragged on for 150 years.
[05:40] Jessica
Sacrificing young soldiers
to continue a war...
[05:43] Jessica
Can we truly say a society
that allows this is normal?
[05:47] Jessica
What we must do right now is
question what is truly realistic.
[05:53] Jessica
There is only one answer,
[05:55] Jessica
and it is peace!
[05:58] Gatty
She really doesn't hold back.
[06:00] Bewcock
No, she's absolutely right.
[06:04] Bewcock
There's something wrong
with a society in which
[06:07] Bewcock
an old soldier like me lives
while the young ones die.
[06:11] Bewcock
If no one brings attention to that,
things will only get worse.
[06:16] Bewcock
People like her are essential
[06:18] Bewcock
in ensuring that the Alliance
doesn't lose all reason.
SIGN Episode 17
SIGN The Yang Fleet Mobilizes
SIGN Iserlohn Fortress
[06:31] Dawson
You know that in the past half-month,
[06:33] Dawson
armed revolts have broken
out on the planets Nephthys,
[06:37] Dawson
Kaffa, Purmerend, and Shampool, yes?
[06:41] Yang
Yes, sir.
[06:42] Dawson
You are to lead the Iserlohn
Fortress garrison fleet
[06:45] Dawson
and put an end to all the revolts
as quickly as possible.
[06:49] Yang
All revolts on all four planets?
[06:52] Yang
That would leave Iserlohn Fortress
unguarded for an extended period.
[06:57] Dawson
The Empire is currently embroiled
in a large-scale civil war.
[07:00] Dawson
There is very little danger of them
invading Iserlohn with a large force.
[07:05] Dawson
Commander Yang, you can fulfill your duty
as a soldier with no reservations.
[07:13] Julian
How old is this Dawson?
[07:16] Yang
In his mid-forties, I'd say.
[07:19] Yang
Interim Chief Dawson's goal is to
work us as hard as he possibly can.
[07:25] Yang
But I don't understand why that is.
[07:28] Yang
I hear he's a man who never
lets go of a grudge,
[07:31] Yang
but I don't recall doing
anything to anger him.
[07:34] Julian
You're turning thirty this year, right?
[07:38] Yang
Yeah, I guess I've hit that age.
[07:40] Julian
That's why.
[07:43] Julian
You're so much younger than him,
but you're also an admiral.
[07:47] Julian
So long as you're not someone like
Admiral Bewcock, he would be jealous.
[07:52] Yang
So that's it...
[07:54] Yang
Now it makes sense.
I completely missed that.
[07:57] Yang
Still, the chief wasn't able to
foresee the assassination attempt,
[08:01] Yang
but he did guess what
Marquis Lohengramm was planning.
[08:04] Yang
He intends to toy with the
Alliance as much as he can,
[08:08] Yang
with as little risk as possible.
[08:11] Julian
What's going to happen now?
[08:14] Yang
A coup d'état in the capital.
[08:18] Yang
But I can't even guess at
anything beyond that.
[08:21] Yang
I don't think Marquis Lohengramm
actually knows, either.
[08:25] Yang
Who's going to be the mastermind
behind the coup d'état?
[08:27] Yang
That's the question.
[08:30] Julian
Who could it be?
[08:32] Yang
No idea.
[08:33] Yang
But we'll know soon enough.
[08:36] Fyodor
He wants us to stop revolts on four
different planets ourselves, then?
SIGN So he wants to preserve the capital's forces and put us to work.
SIGN He's jealous, all right.
[08:48] Murai
In any case, we can't refuse an order from
the Integrated Tactical Operations Center.
[08:54] Guy
Emergency in the capital!
[08:56] Murai
Report in detail!
[08:57] Guy
Yes, sir.
[08:58] Guy
An emergency has broken out on
the capital planet Heinessen.
[09:02] Guy
I-It's a coup d'état!
[09:10] Bronze
As of this day, April 13th
of the year UC 797,
[09:15] Bronze
we announce the establishment of
[09:17] Bronze
the National Salvation Military Council
as the provisional government.
[09:21] Bronze
We hereby place Heinessen
under martial law,
[09:24] Bronze
and our forces assume full
control over the capital.
[09:27] Yang
National Salvation Military Council, eh?
[09:29] Bronze
The Alliance Constitution is suspended,
[09:31] Bronze
and the following National Salvation
Military Council decrees will take its place.
[09:36] Bronze
First, a unified national regime is
established with the noble goal
[09:40] Bronze
of overthrowing the Galactic Empire.
[09:43] Bronze
Second, political activities and speeches
[09:46] Bronze
contrary to the national interest
are subject to regulation.
[09:49] Bronze
Third, military personnel are granted
judicial and police powers.
[09:53] Bronze
Fourth, unnecessary social
services will be halted
[09:57] Bronze
to prevent the weakening of society.
[09:59] Bronze
Fifth, conscientious objectors
will be subject to punishment.
[10:01] Yang
Well, isn't this brilliant?
[10:04] Yang
It's no different from what Rudolf
von Goldenbaum did 500 years ago.
[10:04] Bronze
Sixth, corruption among politicians and civil
servants will be severely punished.
[10:10] Bronze
I will now introduce to all citizens
and soldiers of the Alliance
[10:14] Bronze
the chairman of the
National Salvation Military Council.
[10:35] Bronze
Admiral Dwight Greenhill.
[10:40] Dwight
Citizens, as well as soldiers
in the Alliance Navy.
[10:43] Dwight
There is no need to be
frightened by our actions.
[10:46] Dwight
Our goal is to create a world in which all
people can have a righteous lifestyle,
[10:50] Dwight
enjoy a righteous reputation,
[10:51] Dwight
and live righteous lives
until their final days—
[10:54] Dwight
exactly the way our world should be.
[10:57] Dwight
If you examine history,
[10:59] Dwight
you will surely see that when governments
grow corrupt and society loses its way,
[11:05] Dwight
there will always be those who
rise up to correct the system.
[11:10] Dwight
That is what we are,
[11:11] Dwight
and this is one of those times.
[11:14] Dwight
As of this day,
[11:16] Dwight
the history of the
Free Planets Alliance will change.
[11:20] Bewcock
I suppose I've grown senile.
[11:23] Gatty
Please forgive us.
This is for the greater good.
[11:28] Bewcock
So the Departments of
Intelligence and Inspection,
[11:31] Bewcock
and even men who served me directly,
[11:34] Bewcock
had already been contaminated.
[11:38] Bewcock
You there. I recognize you.
[11:42] Bewcock
You're Rear Admiral Lynch.
[11:45] Lynch
I'm so honored that you remember me.
[11:51] Bewcock
I thought you were one of
[11:53] Bewcock
the most reasonable,
sensible men in the service.
[11:58] Bewcock
But it looks like I overestimated you.
[12:02] Bewcock
I never imagined you would be a
part of such a careless act.
[12:05] Bewcock
I can only believe that your reason
and sensibility have fallen asleep.
[12:09] Dwight
I believe you are well aware, Admiral,
[12:13] Dwight
of how corrupted the current government is
[12:16] Dwight
and how stifled our society is.
[12:18] Dwight
Mob rule is running rampant
in the guise of democracy,
[12:22] Dwight
and it's showing no signs of being able to control itself.
[12:25] Dwight
How else can we correct and reform it?
[12:33] Bewcock
I see.
[12:34] Bewcock
The current system is indeed
corrupt and stifled.
[12:39] Bewcock
Which is why you think the answer is to
conquer it with military force, right?
[12:44] Bewcock
Then if I may venture to ask...
[12:47] Bewcock
When you and your military
forces become corrupt,
[12:50] Bewcock
who is going to correct you, and how?
[12:55] Gatty
We had no choice but to take a stand.
[12:57] Gatty
Unlike those who merely speak of peace,
[13:00] Gatty
we are going to make it happen.
[13:03] Gatty
Corruption arises from self-interest.
[13:05] Gatty
There's no way we can ever become corrupt.
[13:09] Bewcock
Is that so?
[13:11] Bewcock
It seems to me as if you're trying
to justify a lawless power grab
[13:15] Bewcock
under the cover of terms like
"salvation" and "passion."
[13:20] Bronze
Admiral Bewcock, we have every intention
of behaving as courteously as possible.
[13:28] Bewcock
Courteous?
[13:30] Bewcock
Since the first humans
crawled upon the land,
[13:32] Bewcock
breaking rules with violent force
has never been called "courteous."
[13:37] Bewcock
If you want people to call it that,
why not use this power you've gained
[13:42] BewcocK
and use it to write a new
dictionary before you lose it?
[13:49] Dwight
Unfortunately,
[13:50] Dwight
it appears that no matter how much we
talk, we'll find no common ground.
[13:55] Dwight
Our only choice is to let
history be the judge.
[14:04] Dwight
Take him to another room.
[14:06] Dwight
And be respectful.
[14:08] Bewcock
History might not give you any answers,
[14:12] Bewcock
Admiral Greenhill.
[14:16] Na
The crucial location of Heinessen,
the Alliance capital,
[14:18] Na
was taken over by the coup d'état force.
[14:23] Na
Even Admiral Dawson,
[14:25] Na
interim chief of the Integrated Tactical
Operations Center, was detained.
[14:29] Na
However, the top target of the attack,
[14:32] Na
High Council Chairman Trunicht,
[14:36] Na
was not in his official residence.
[14:47] Yang
You seem well.
[14:54] Frederica
What can I do for you?
[14:57] Yang
I'm mobilizing my fleet tomorrow.
[15:00] Yang
Will you be joining me?
[15:02] Frederica
I...
[15:04] Frederica
N-No.
[15:06] Frederica
I thought I would be relieved
of my position as adjutant.
[15:12] Yang
You want to quit?
[15:14] Frederica
N-No!
[15:16] Frederica
But...
[15:20] Yang
I'm a lazy man, you know.
[15:23] Yang
I need a capable adjutant by my side.
[15:29] Yang
I'd be lost without you.
[15:37] Frederica
Th-Then...
[15:39] Frederica
I will fulfill the role to the
best of my ability, Admiral.
SIGN So you didn't fire Miss Greenhill?
[16:05] Yang
Of course not.
[16:08] Yang
Not until I find someone as
talented as she is, anyway.
SIGN Can't you just be honest?
[16:17] Yang
What does that mean?
SIGN Well, I was just thinking about what she thinks of you.
[16:23] Yang
And what do you think?
SIGN Who knows?
SIGN Frankly, I'm not entirely sure myself.
SIGN You're a walking contradiction, after all.
SIGN No one despises the foolishness of war as much as you do,
SIGN but at the same time, there's no greater master of war than you.
SIGN Am I wrong?
[16:51] Yang
And what about
Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm?
SIGN I'm sure it'd be interesting to see you two face off.
SIGN If you both mobilized your forces in equal numbers,
SIGN I'm confident that you'd win, personally.
[17:04] Yang
Assumptions like that don't mean a thing.
SIGN Then let's move on to the next topic.
SIGN You have a very intimate knowledge of just how bad
SIGN the Free Planets Alliance's current power structure is.
SIGN And yet you're devoting all of your strength to trying to save it.
SIGN That's another huge contradiction.
[17:33] Yang
I prefer to choose "better" over "best."
[17:36] Yang
I do realize that the current
Alliance is no good.
[17:40] Yang
But you saw the National Salvation
Military Council's slogan, didn't you?
[17:45] Yang
They're worse than the current regime.
SIGN If I may say so,
SIGN we should let those clowns in the National Salvation Military Council
SIGN clean out the guys who are currently in power.
SIGN Completely and thoroughly.
SIGN When they're done, they'll show their true, useless colors
SIGN and lose control of the situation.
SIGN That's when you make your entrance,
SIGN chase out the cleaners,
SIGN and seize control as the one who'll restore democracy.
SIGN Now that would be "better."
SIGN What do you say? It doesn't matter what title we give you.
SIGN Why not become a dictator who protects the practical parts of democracy?
[18:32] Yang
Yang Wen-li the dictator, eh?
[18:38] Yang
I really don't think that's my style.
SIGN Just being a military man isn't your style, honestly.
SIGN And despite that, you're doing remarkably well at it.
SIGN I bet you'd be pretty good at being a dictator, too.
[19:00] Yang
Commodore Schönkopf.
SIGN Yes?
[19:04] Yang
Have you shared your ideas
with anyone other than me?
SIGN Of course not.
[19:12] Yang
Very well, then.
[19:21] Dwight
Yang Wen-li refused to be a part of the
National Salvation Military Council.
[19:27] Dwight
Admiral Legrange.
[19:29] Legrange
Sir.
[19:30] Dwight
You will lead the 11th Fleet in
a battle with Admiral Yang.
SIGN 11th Fleet Commander
Vice Admiral Legrange
[19:36] Legrange
Understood, sir.
[19:38] Legrange
But what about your daughter?
[19:40] Dwight
I gave up on my daughter the moment
I started working on these plans.
[19:45] Legrange
Yes, sir.
[19:46] Legrange
Then I will not fail to
either annihilate Yang
[19:49] Legrange
or force him into submission.
[19:57] Yang
I never realized you had so
much talent as a spokesman.
[20:02] Julian
But I wasn't bluffing when I said that.
[20:06] Julian
It was the truth.
[20:11] Guy
Hey, kid...
[20:13] Guy
You live with Admiral Yang, don't you?
[20:16] Julian
Yes.
[20:17] Guy
What do you think?
[20:19] Guy
Does he have any chance of winning?
[20:27] Julian
Admiral Yang Wen-li doesn't fight battles
that he has no chance of winning.
[20:32] Guy
He's right! Admiral Yang never makes mistakes!
[20:35] Guy
Exactly! He's Miracle Yang!
[20:38] Julian
Isn't that right, Admiral?
[20:47] Yang
How does Julian look in your eyes?
[20:50] Yang
In both shooting and hand-to-hand combat?
SIGN Speaking as his teacher,
SIGN he is more than qualified as a stand-alone soldier.
SIGN I imagine he'll be far more useful than you.
SIGN But what you actually want for Julian
SIGN is far from this sort of thing, is it not?
[21:12] Yang
There are limits to human abilities.
[21:15] Yang
But they can still set destiny in motion
with the abilities they do have.
[21:20] Yang
I want Julian to set destiny in motion
in as many ways as possible.
[21:25] Yang
Even if he doesn't actually do that,
[21:27] Yang
I want him to have that potential.
SIGN And what about you?
[21:32] Yang
Oh, I can't do it.
[21:34] Yang
I'm too deeply involved with the
Free Planets Alliance now.
[21:38] Yang
I have obligations to fulfill
for the people who pay me.
SIGN I see.
SIGN So that's why you won't officially make Julian a soldier.
SIGN So he won't feel any obligation toward the Free Planets Alliance.
[21:55] Yang
I hadn't given it that much thought.
[21:58] Frederica
Admiral.
[22:00] Frederica
All ships have completed
preparations to depart.
[22:04] Yang
Roger.
[22:08] Murai
What shall we set as our destination?
[22:13] Yang
Let's see...
[22:17] Yang
Our final stop will be Heinessen.

On April 20th, Yang named Caselnes the
interim commander of Iserlohn Fortress
[23:00] Na

garrison fleet to mobilize.

At this moment, the future of

[00:10] Wilhelm
The blond boy has led his fleet
out of the Imperial capital.
SIGN Lippstadt Nobles Coalition Vice Leader
Marquis Wilhelm von Littenheim
[00:14] Wilhelm
He had the nerve to call us "traitors,"
[00:17] Wilhelm
a title that calls for our subjugation!
[00:20] Guy
What?!
[00:21] Guy
Utter insolence!
[00:25] Otho
Now is the time for the
Lippstadt Nobles Coalition
SIGN Lippstadt Nobles Coalition Leader
Duke Otho von Braunschweig
[00:29] Otho
to put that upstart in his
place once and for all!
[00:33] Otho
We will dispatch forces in multiple positions
along the corridor to Geiersburg Fortress
[00:38] Otho
to chip away at the blond
boy's strength in numbers.
[00:41] Otho
Once he is weakened, we will strike
his remaining forces all at once
[00:45] Otho
and completely annihilate
every last one of them.
[00:49] Otho
May the great god Odin
grant us his protection!
[00:53] Guy
Victory will be ours!
[01:00] Merkatz
Wait a moment.
SIGN Lippstadt Nobles Coalition Fleet Commander-in-Chief
Willibald Joachim von Merkatz
[01:04] Merkatz
Dividing our forces would not
be in our best interests.
[01:09] Otho
Then what do you suggest we do?
[01:11] Merkatz
Assemble our principal forces at Geiersburg
[01:14] Merkatz
to intercept the enemy there.
[01:17] Otho
So we should engage the brat here,
where we have the positional advantage?
[01:22] Merkatz
Correct.
[01:24] Staden
No, there is an even better way.
[01:28] Staden
Draw the enemy to Geiersburg,
[01:31] Staden
then send a detached force
SIGN Admiral Staden
[01:33] Staden
to capture the Imperial capital, Odin,
when their defenses are spread thin.
[01:37] Staden
After that, the emperor will
be in our possession.
[01:44] Staden
Then we'll have the emperor declare that
Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm is the traitor,
[01:51] Staden
and our positions will be reversed.
[01:55] Staden
The blond boy will become an orphan lost
in space, with no home to return to.
[02:08] Alfred
Fantastic!
SIGN Count Alfred von Landsberg
[02:10] Alfred
A strategy befitting the true
heirs to the Goldenbaum Dynasty!
[02:14] Alfred
Please permit me to lead the detached force!
[02:19] Guy
No, let me!
[02:20] Guy
Please, allow me!
[02:23] Guy
Let me be the one to carry out the plan!
[02:24] Hildesheim
Admiral Staden.
SIGN Count Hildesheim
[02:27] Hildesheim
I need to speak with you later.
SIGN Legend of the Galactic Heroes
[04:01] Merkatz
That plan is foolish.
[04:03] Schneider
What do you mean?
[04:05] Schneider
From a purely militaristic perspective,
it seems viable to me.
[04:09] Merkatz
It's not viable for this coalition.
SIGN Lieutenant Commander Bernhard von Schneider
[04:12] Merkatz
They're only thinking about the power
they'd gain after completing it
[04:16] Merkatz
and how desperate they are
to outdo each other.
[04:19] Merkatz
Without unwavering trust between the
main force and the detached force,
[04:23] Merkatz
that strategy is doomed to fail.
[04:26] Schneider
Is that why Marquis Lohengramm
left the Imperial capital empty?
[04:31] Schneider
But, Admiral,
[04:32] Schneider
there are some among the nobles who
are already preparing for battle
[04:36] Schneider
in hopes of getting ahead of the
others to lead the detached force.
[04:45] Schneider
Aren't you going to stop them?
[04:47] Merkatz
It's essentially impossible to
restrain the egos of noblemen.
[04:52] Merkatz
They wouldn't listen if I tried to warn them.
[04:56] Schneider
You're saying they need to be
defeated once to learn a lesson?
SIGN Episode 18
SIGN Bloodshed in Space
[05:10] Reinhard
The traitors are on the move.
[05:13] Wolfgang
Oh? At last?
[05:15] Reinhard
My spy has informed me that their
vanguard commander is Staden.
[05:20] Reinhard
I hear you learned tactical theory
from him at cadet school.
[05:25] Reinhard
Do you think we can beat him?
[05:27] Wolfgang
Instructor Staden had such abundant knowledge
[05:31] Wolfgang
that he tended to lean too heavily on theory.
[05:34] Wolfgang
We cadets often ridiculed him for
being undone by his own theories.
[05:41] Reinhard
Then, Mittermeyer, you will deploy to the
Altena Starzone as our advance guard
[05:46] Reinhard
and have a reunion with
your former teacher.
[05:48] Wolfgang
Yes, sir.
[05:51] Na
In the year UC 797,
[05:54] Na
or the 488th year of the Imperial
Calendar, on April 19th,
[05:58] Na
a war that would later be
called the Lippstadt War began.
SIGN Hildesheim Fleet
[06:07] Na
Hildesheim and Staden deployed before
the other nobles in hopes of earning
[06:13] Na
the right of leadership in the
operation to capture the emperor,
[06:18] Na
but a minefield laid by the
Mittermeyer Fleet impeded their course.
[06:27] Guy
Compressed data received
from patrol craft T07.
[06:30] Guy
Movement of Hildesheim Fleet confirmed
on the enemy's left flank.
[06:33] Guy
The Staden Fleet has also begun
to move on the right flank.
[06:37] Na
Directional Seffle particles were
the Reinhard camp's secret weapon
[06:42] Na
for breaking through the Alliance Navy's
minefield in the Battle of Amritsar.
[06:47] Na
Without access to them, the Hildesheim and Staden fleets
[06:52] Na
had no choice but to detour around
the minefield to its left and right.
[06:58] Armsdorf
They're on the move.
[07:00] Wolfgang
They should know we're not just going
to sit in the same place forever.
[07:05] Wolfgang
Our fleet will also begin its advance!
[07:14] Guy
We're entering the minefield!
SIGN Cleared Route
[07:26] Guy
This is a live minefield, isn't it?
[07:29] Guy
If we slip off course in the slightest...
[07:32] Guy
Admiral Mittermeyer has trained
this fleet himself. Have faith.
[07:43] Na
The Mittermeyer Fleet passed through an cleared
route so narrow that Staden didn't even see it,
[07:49] Na
and succeeded in striking the
Hildesheim Fleet from behind.
[07:53] Hildesheim
What?!
[07:55] Staden
The minefield was definitely live.
[07:58] Staden
How did they...
[07:59] Wolfgang
Swift movement is my fleet's specialty.
[08:05] Wolfgang
Feuer!
[08:26] Guy
The propulsion engine's been hit!
We're losing control!
[08:34] Staden
We've lost contact with
the Hildesheim Fleet!
[08:37] Staden
How could this be?
[08:39] Staden
Given our numbers, we have
no chance of winning now.
[08:43] Staden
Retreat! We'll head to
Rentenberg and request aid!
[08:47] Armsdorf
The Staden Fleet is leaving the starzone.
[08:52] Wolfgang
He got away, huh?
[08:54] Wolfgang
I guess my former teacher has
the sense to know when to run.
[09:00] Na
The Battle of Altena, the first
clash of the Lippstadt War,
[09:07] Na
ended in victory for Mittermeyer.
[09:13] Otho
What?!
[09:14] Otho
Not only did he lose, but he
fled to Rentenberg, as well?!
[09:18] Wilhelm
That fortress is a vital logistics center.
[09:21] Wilhelm
We must avoid losing it at any cost!
SIGN Galactic Imperial Navy Armored Grenadier Commander
High Admiral Ovlesser
[09:28] Schneider
It ended just the way you said it would.
[09:31] Schneider
Do we have any hope of defeating
Marquis Lohengramm like this?
[09:35] Schneider
Admiral, what are we fighting for?
[09:38] Schneider
Who are we fighting for?
[09:41] Merkatz
Stop it.
[09:42] Merkatz
All we can do is defend our honor as soldiers.
[09:47] Merkatz
Nothing more.
[09:53] Wolfgang
I apologize, sir.
[09:54] Wolfgang
I let Staden get away.
[09:57] Reinhard
No matter.
[09:58] Reinhard
Our goal was to put a damper on their
spirits, and we achieved that.
[10:02] Paul
The Staden Fleet, the one that
left the Altena Starzone,
[10:05] Paul
fled to Rentenberg Fortress,
a key location on the front lines.
[10:11] Paul
The strength of its garrison
force should not be ignored.
[10:16] Reinhard
Our navy will seize Rentenberg Fortress
[10:20] Reinhard
and make it our bridgehead
for taking down Geiersburg.
[10:23] Reinhard
Reuenthal, Mittermeyer,
[10:26] Reinhard
occupy Rentenberg and take full
control without doing any damage.
[10:29] Both
Yes, sir.
SIGN Rentenberg Fortress
SIGN Amphibious Assault Ships
[11:11] Paul
Rentenberg Fortress gets all of its energy
from a power reactor in its center.
[11:18] Paul
The only way to get there
is via the No. 6 passage.
[11:22] Paul
Only when it is under our control can we
take over all functions of the fortress.
[11:31] Oskar
It makes sense that we'd have
to use hand-to-hand combat,
[11:34] Oskar
but he sure makes it sound easy.
[11:36] Wolfgang
You can say that again.
SIGN Seffle Particles Detected
Weapon Use Prohibited

[13:11] Oskar
It appears they're using some kind of drug.
[13:14] Reinhard
I understand the situation.
[13:16] Reinhard
Ovlesser is brave,
[13:18] Reinhard
but he is a Neanderthal.
[13:20] Reinhard
He'll be of no use if we let him live,
[13:22] Reinhard
and I'm certain he wouldn't want
to be kept alive at our mercy.
[13:26] Reinhard
Give him a glorious death.
[13:28] Both
Yes, sir.
[13:29] Armsdorf
Your Excellency.
[13:31] Armsdorf
There is a transmission
from the enemy commander.
[13:33] Wolfgang
What?
[13:34] Reinhard
Connect him to me.
[13:35] Armsdorf
Yes, sir... But...
[13:37] Reinhard
It's fine.
[13:38] Ovlesser
Blond boy!
[13:40] Ovlesser
Do you even have the guts to
look at my face on a screen?
[13:44] Ovlesser
You were born into good fortune,
but you've achieved nothing!
[13:50] Ovlesser
I will never allow a brat like
you to have the Imperial Navy!
[13:53] Ovlesser
And the idea that you'd take
advantage of the emperor's favor
[13:56] Ovlesser
to monopolize the Imperial
government is outrageous!
[13:59] Ovlesser
Despite your low birth,
both you and your sister
[14:02] Ovlesser
deceived the previous emperor
with your good looks!
[14:06] Ovlesser
That kind of insolence is worthy of death!
[14:09] Reinhard
Cut the transmission!
[14:11] Guy
Yes, sir!
[14:12] Reinhard
Reuenthal! Mittermeyer!
[14:14] Both
Yes, sir!
[14:15] Reinhard
Bring that scumbag to me!
[14:19] Reinhard
Yes... Don't you dare kill him.
[14:21] Reinhard
Bring him alive, even if you
have to rip off his limbs!
[14:24] Reinhard
I will tear that bastard's filthy
mouth off with my own hands!
[14:28] Both
Yes, sir!
[14:31] Wolfgang
This is a problem.
[14:33] Oskar
Yeah.
[14:34] Oskar
This means even
His Excellency acts on his emotions.
[14:40] Wolfgang
Armsdorf, bring the commander
of the engineering corps here.
[14:44] Oskar
Yes, and one more thing...
[14:50] Ovlesser
Come at me if you dare, you cowardly mice!
[14:53] Ovlesser
I'll throw your corpses in a pot
and make you into fricassee!
[14:58] Ovlesser
I'm sure the flesh of lowly
peasants like yourselves
[15:00] Ovlesser
would taste foul, though!
[15:08] Oskar
I guess barbarians don't know
the meaning of moderation.
[15:14] Ovlesser
Reuenthal the Odd-eyed and the Gale Wolf...
[15:18] Ovlesser
Looks like you've grown impatient
with the incompetence of your men.
[15:20] Ovlesser
Do you think the two of
you alone can defeat me?
[15:25] Wolfgang
We won't know until we try.
[15:27] Oskar
We are admirals, and you are a high admiral.
[15:31] Oskar
I'd say we're a good match for you.
[15:33] Ovlesser
So you do know your place!
[15:35] Ovlesser
Out of respect to your courtesy, I'll pass
the fleet admiral's baton along to you!
[15:39] Ovlesser
You can collect it in Valhalla!
[15:57] Ovlesser
Is that all you've got?!
[16:03] Ovlesser
You won't get away!
[16:17] Oskar
Now!
[16:30] Ovlesser
You cowards!
[16:32] Oskar
We'll take that as a compliment.
[16:34] Wolfgang
We've got Ovlesser.
[16:36] Wolfgang
There aren't enough of them
left to waste time on.
[16:39] Wolfgang
Proceed to seize control!
[16:42] Guy
Yes, sir!
[16:43] Na
Thus, control of the No. 6 passage was seized,
[16:47] Na
while it was still covered in
the blood of their comrades.
[17:04] Wolfgang
Oberstein? What are you doing here?
[17:09] Paul
I will be setting High Admiral Ovlesser free.
[17:14] Wolfgang
You're joking!
[17:15] Wolfgang
Do you know how many of our
men died capturing him?!
[17:19] Paul
I am acting with Marquis
Lohengramm's approval.
[17:23] Paul
His Excellency has deeply
acknowledged both of your efforts.
[17:28] Paul
Is that not sufficient for you?
[17:34] Paul
For now, I would like you all to leave
me alone with the high admiral.
[17:45] Paul
Now, High Admiral Ovlesser...
[17:48] Paul
We would like you to return to the
Nobles Coalition as an envoy.
[17:54] Ovlesser
What did you say?
[17:55] Paul
No matter which side wins this civil war,
[17:59] Paul
it will inevitably cause
great harm to the Empire.
[18:02] Paul
Marquis Lohengramm does not wish to
see the Empire as a whole grow weak.
[18:08] Paul
We'd like you to give us
a third option to end this conflict quickly.
[18:14] Ovlesser
Hah! You really think our leader
will agree to make peace now?
[18:18] Paul
If it comes from a warrior of such
distinguished service as yourself,
[18:22] Paul
perhaps even the nobles will listen.
[18:26] Ovlesser
I understand what you're saying.
[18:28] Ovlesser
But if I do return to Geiersburg,
[18:31] Ovlesser
you have no guarantee that
I'll do what the brat wants.
[18:43] Ansbach
You are High Admiral Ovlesser, correct?
[18:47] Ovlesser
You can't tell just by looking at me?
[18:50] Ansbach
Right this way, please.
[18:52] Ansbach
The leader awaits.
[18:55] Otho
High Admiral Ovlesser.
Congratulations on returning alive.
[19:00] Ovlesser
Yes, sir.
[19:02] Otho
Incidentally, did you know
[19:04] Otho
that all of your men were captured
and publicly executed?
[19:09] Ovlesser
P-Publicly executed?!
[19:11] Otho
Why, then, are you the only one
who was set free to return here?
[19:22] Ovlesser
This is a trap!
The blond brat set this up to trick me!
[19:27] Otho
Silence, traitor!
[19:30] Otho
You were the only one to return alive
[19:33] Otho
because you sold yourself out to him!
[19:36] Otho
Did you promise to bring
him my severed head?!
[19:41] Ovlesser
No! I haven't betrayed you!
[19:44] Ovlesser
This is a trap!
The blond brat set this up to trick me!
[19:50] Otho
Shoot! Shoot him!
[19:59] Ovlesser
Why? This is a trap!
[20:06] Ovlesser
Why don't you get it?!
[20:08] Ovlesser
This is a trap!
[20:12] Ovlesser
It's a trap!
[20:19] Ovlesser
I didn't betray you!
[20:21] Otho
Kill him! Kill him at once!
[20:23] Ovlesser
I did not—
[20:28] (Flashback) Gregor
He intends to eradicate all those
who refuse to see the truth.
[20:36] Ovlesser
Refuse to... see the truth...
[20:44] Otho
Damned fool.
[20:47] Ansbach
What shall we say was the cause of
High Admiral Ovlesser's death?
[20:51] Otho
There's no need to cover this up.
[20:54] Otho
He was executed for betraying his comrades.

Maybe you should be grateful that
you died before this day ended.
[21:19] Paul
Ovlesser, the foremost of those
who see us as the enemy,
[21:23] Paul
was executed as a traitor.

It's the Fezzan merchant ship Berezka.

Order it to stop.

SIGN Fezzan Merchant Ship
Berezka
[22:18] Guy
It's a migrant farmer and his family.
[22:21] Guy
We don't see anyone suspicious.
[22:23] Marinesk
We don't have money, so they're
transporting us as cargo.
[22:27] Kircheis
As cargo?
[22:29] Kircheis
There appear to be several
women and children there.
[22:33] Kircheis
Is there anything you need?
[22:35] Marinesk
We're low on medicine,
as well as milk for the babies.

Very well. I will have some delivered.

[00:13] Yang
Our fleet will now head for Shampool.
[00:17] Yang
They may be traitors, but before we
exchange fire with fellow Alliancemen,
[00:22] Yang
there's something I'd like to say.
[00:25] Yang
Not long ago, when visiting
the capital planet Heinessen,
[00:28] Yang
I made a request of Space Fleet
Commander-in-Chief Bewcock.
[00:32] Yang
He then granted me a decree stating that,
[00:34] Yang
in the event of a coup d'état such as this,
[00:37] Yang
our fleet would strike it down
and restore law and order.
[00:43] Julian
Why are we going to Shampool
instead of Heinessen?
[00:49] Yang
They could break our communication and
supply lines using guerrilla tactics.
[00:54] Yang
To prevent that, we need
to establish supply bases.
[00:58] Julian
I see.
[01:00] Julian
But their commander isn't Yang Wen-li.
[01:04] Yang
But there may be a future Yang Wen-li.
[01:08] Yang
Who even knew the name
"Yang Wen-li" before El Facil?
[01:13] Yang
If we lived in peaceful times,
I'd still be nameless.
[01:16] Yang
I'd still be just an aspiring historian.
[01:20] Julian
And now you're one of the subjects
for historians to study.
[01:26] Yang
That Yang Wen-li is, apparently,
a pretty big deal.
[01:30] Yang
He's nothing like me.
We just happen to have the same name.
[01:34] Julian
That's what makes you so respectable.
[01:38] Julian
Most people would have been lost in
their own self-importance by now.
[01:43] Yang
Julian, you shouldn't flatter
your superiors too much.
[01:48] Yang
If they're weak, they'll start to believe
you and end up ruining themselves.
[01:56] Julian
Yes, sir. Understood.
[02:00] Yang
As long as we're clear.
SIGN Legend of the Galactic Heroes
SIGN The Planet Shampool
[03:34] Na
On April 26th of the year UC 797,
[03:38] Na
the Yang Fleet began its assault
on the planet Shampool.
[03:42] Na
Since the traitors on Shampool
had no garrison fleet,
[03:45] Na
the battle was fought
primarily on the ground.
[03:49] Na
Yang's ground forces, with the
Rosen Ritter at their center,
[03:52] Na
subjugated the traitors with
their far superior strength.
[03:56] Na
Shampool was set free within only three days.
[04:10] Yang
Good work today.
[04:12] Yang
They gave you quite the
warm welcome, didn't they?
SIGN Well, the job's gotta come with some perks.
SIGN Anyway, what brings you all here together?
[04:24] Murai
Someone from the Department
of Intelligence who fled here
[04:28] Murai
from Heinessen has requested an audience.
[04:30] Murai
We're awaiting his arrival.
SIGN Oh? Intelligence?
SIGN By the way, I don't see Lieutenant Greenhill.
[04:44] Murai
Looks like he's here.
[04:47] Yang
Has anyone been purged?

Not at the moment.
[04:52] Baghdash
However...
SIGN Commander Baghdash
[04:53] Baghdash
Chief Cubersly,
Fleet Commander-in-Chief Bewcock,
[04:57] Baghdash
and other key officials have been detained.
[05:00] Yang
I see.
[05:03] Yang
And what is the status of each fleet?
[05:05] Baghdash
I came here because there is something I
must tell you immediately regarding that.
[05:11] Baghdash
The 11th Fleet has joined the coup d'état,
[05:16] Baghdash
and it is now on its way here.
[05:19] Yang
I appreciate that information.
[05:21] Yang
If we're prepared for their arrival,
we can minimize losses.
[05:25] Baghdash
Is that so?
[05:26] Baghdash
I'm glad I could be of some help.
[05:30] Yang
Is something wrong?
[05:32] Baghdash
Well... I heard that your adjutant
was Admiral Greenhill's daughter.
[05:40] Yang
She's aware of her position.
[05:43] Yang
I've left her in Iserlohn.
[05:44] Baghdash
I see.
[05:46] Baghdash
That was truly a wise decision.
SIGN Oh, darn it!
SIGN Jeez...
SIGN I just ruined all these kiss marks.
SIGN Please excuse me.
[06:00] Yang
Now...
[06:02] Frederica
Yes, I have met Commander Baghdash. Just once.
[06:08] Frederica
He was in my father's study,
[06:10] Frederica
voicing his discontent with
the current political system.
SIGN I see.
[06:19] Rainer
The mission has been completed.
SIGN Good work.
SIGN Continue to keep a close eye on the situation.
[06:26] Rainer
Yes, sir.
[06:27] Yang
Commodore, where is Commander Baghdash?
SIGN Oh, he's asleep.
SIGN I used a special sleeping drug.
SIGN It'll be a while before he wakes up.
SIGN We can't be careless with a man who claims
SIGN to be from Intelligence, even if he's kept confined.
[06:46] Yang
You certainly work fast.
[06:51] Fyodor
The 11th Fleet is heading this way
to trap us in a pincer attack.
[06:56] Murai
It looks like Commander Baghdash's
information was correct.
[07:00] Murai
He probably wanted to
guarantee his own safety.
[07:04] Yang
All right. Thank you for the report.

Attention, all men.
[07:35] Legrange
The success or failure of

[07:49] Legrange
I sincerely hope I can count on your

You are all to exert your best efforts!
[07:58] Frederica
Your Excellency.
[08:01] Frederica
If you would, please.
[08:03] Yang
Sure.
[08:05] Yang
All right, everyone,
the battle is about to begin.
[08:09] Yang
This is our fleet's first campaign.
[08:11] Yang
It's a meaningless fight,
[08:13] Yang
which means losing would
be even more meaningless.
[08:16] Yang
I've devised a way for us to win,
[08:19] Yang
so just take it easy and
don't push yourselves.
[08:22] Yang
The only thing riding on this is
the life or death of a nation.
[08:26] Yang
Compared to our individual
freedoms and rights,
[08:29] Yang
a nation isn't worth that much.

Yang used the enemy's strategy against them,

focusing all efforts on the

How did he know what we were going to do?
[09:18] Legrange
Is it possible that Baghdash...
[09:21] Legrange
Contact the detached force
on our right flank at once!

Yes, sir!
[09:24] Guy
We're being attacked from eleven o'clock!
[09:27] Adjutant

Keep firing until there's
nothing left to fire at!
[09:52] Nguyen
We're gonna blast right through their flank!
[09:56] Nguyen
Charge! Charge!
[09:59] Adjutant
Our fleet will be divided from the
front to the rear at this rate.
[10:02] Legrange
Don't be afraid of their tricks!
[10:04] Legrange
Get all of our gunships to the battle sector
[10:06] Legrange

It's been two hours since combat commenced.
[11:21] Murai

mostly under our control, but...

It's taking more work than I thought.
[11:27] Yang
Have we advised them to surrender?
[11:28] Murai
We have,
[11:29] Murai
but they haven't responded yet.
[11:31] Yang
I see.
[11:51] Nguyen
The outcome is already decided, and yet...
[11:57] Lao
Please, hurry up and surrender.
[12:03] Poplin
Booze and women are the staples of life!
[12:06] Poplin
Not even a dog would agree to a
double suicide with an ideology!
[12:09] Yang
Advise them to surrender again.
[12:12] Guy
Transmission from the 11th Fleet flagship!
[12:14] Yang
Connect us.
[12:19] Yang
Admiral Legrange.
[12:22] Legrange
I, Legrange, have taken the responsibility
[12:24] Legrange
of giving all ships in the
11th Fleet the order to surrender.
[12:29] Legrange
I consider it an honor to
have fought my final battle
[12:32] Legrange
against such a renowned admiral as yourself.
[12:36] Legrange
However, though our fleet may be defeated,
[12:40] Legrange
the National Salvation Military Council
[12:42] Legrange
will not fail to carry out
its long-desired ambition.
[12:45] Legrange
I wish to take this opportunity
to plead with you
[12:47] Legrange
to reconsider your plans for the future.
[12:52] Legrange
Long live the National
Salvation Military Council!
[13:07] Na
With Legrange's suicide,
[13:09] Na
the Battle of the
Doria Starzone came to an end.
[13:12] Na
The goal of the battle was to
minimize losses on both sides,
[13:17] Na
but the coup d'état faction's
faith remained steadfast,
[13:19] Na
resulting in a bitter conclusion.
[13:30] Fyodor
Baghdash's behavior since he
woke up has been insufferable.
[13:34] Fyodor
He demands wine with his meals,
[13:37] Fyodor
insists we have a female
soldier wait on him...
[13:39] Dusty
But the admiral's seeing
him at the moment, right?
[13:42] Dusty
I'm sure he's setting him straight.
[13:45] Dusty
Right, Lao?
[13:46] Lao
Huh?
[13:50] Yang
Then...
[13:52] Baghdash
Yes, I was hoping you would
allow me to work for you.
[13:56] Yang
Is it really that easy for a
man to change his principles?
[14:00] Baghdash
Of course it is.
[14:02] Baghdash
A man's principles are his
means of staying alive.
[14:05] Baghdash
If they get in the way of staying alive,
one need only get rid of them.
[14:09] Yang
I see.
[14:11] Yang
Could you tell me in detail
what you had in mind?
[14:14] Baghdash
My ultimate goal as a covert agent
[14:17] Baghdash
was to assassinate you, Admiral Yang.
[14:22] Baghdash
I thought this coup d'état had
a chance at being successful,
[14:26] Baghdash
and that's why I accepted this risky mission.
[14:29] Baghdash
But... my judgment was wrong.
[14:33] Baghdash
Your strength far surpassed my expectations
[14:36] Baghdash
and those of the
National Salvation Military Council.
[14:40] Baghdash
I have been left with no choice
[14:42] Baghdash
but to accept reality.
[14:45] Yang
No choice, eh?
[14:47] Yang
And that's why you want to work for me?
[14:50] Baghdash
Yes, that's right.
[14:51] Baghdash
In all honesty,
[14:53] Baghdash
I've grown tired of idling my life away.
[14:55] Baghdash
I don't hate working, honestly.
[14:58] Baghdash
Won't you consider giving
me a job of some kind?
[15:01] Yang
A job, huh?
[15:04] Yang
All right. I'll find a use for you eventually.
[15:08] Yang
For now, I'll return this to you.
[15:23] Baghdash
Admiral Yang...
[15:44] Julian
Commander Baghdash, drop your blaster
[15:47] Julian
and put your hands in the air!
[15:49] Baghdash
H-Hey, it was just a joke.
[15:52] Baghdash
I owe Admiral Yang my life.
I would never shoot him.
[15:55] Julian
If you killed the admiral,
[15:57] Julian
your name would go down in history,
even if only in notoriety.
[16:00] Julian
Can you honestly say you didn't feel
that temptation, even for a moment?
[16:04] Baghdash
H-Hey, now...
[16:06] Julian
Admiral! I don't trust this man!
[16:10] Julian
He may swear his loyalty to you now,
[16:13] Julian
but there's no telling what
he'll do in the future!
[16:16] Yang
Future danger is not a reason to
take someone's life now, Julian.
[16:22] Julian
I know that!
[16:24] Julian
But...
[16:29] Yang
Just let him off the hook.
[16:31] Yang
You've spooked him enough.
[16:34] Yang
Commander, you can go.
[16:44] Baghdash
I'll try to remember that you'll
always be watching me.
[16:50] Baghdash
If you'll excuse me.
[16:58] Julian
Admiral!
[16:59] Yang
Baghdash is a calculating man.
[17:02] Yang
So long as I keep winning,
he won't turn on me.
[17:06] Yang
For the moment, that's good enough.
[17:10] Yang
Besides...
[17:11] Yang
I don't want to let you kill
anyone if I can avoid it.
[17:19] Na
Meanwhile, on Heinessen,
[17:21] Na
a multitude of citizens were

[19:05] Christian
Well, well! If it isn't
Representative Edwards!
[19:09] Jessica
Why are armed soldiers interfering
with a peaceful assembly?
[19:14] Christian
To restore order, of course.
[19:17] Jessica
Wouldn't you say you're the ones
disturbing order with violence?
[19:23] Jessica
Exactly what part of all
this do you call "order"?
[19:29] Christian
We are the ones who decide what "order" is.
[19:33] Christian
End this assembly at once.
[19:36] Christian
If you don't know what "order" is,
we will be happy to show you.
[19:41] Jessica
Enough!
[19:44] Christian
Out of my way!
[19:50] Christian
None of you are even prepared to die,

So if you're prepared to die...
[20:00] Jessica
you can do whatever you want,
no matter how stupid?
[20:04] Christian
What?
[20:06] Jessica
There have been others... who used violence
[20:10] Jessica
to force their ideas of justice on others.
[20:14] Jessica
One of the great ones... was the
founder of the Galactic Empire...
[20:18] Jessica
Rudolf von Goldenbaum.
[20:20] Jessica
And among the least of them... is you.
[20:26] Jessica
You're an unworthy disciple of Rudolf.
[20:30] Jessica
Figure that out for yourself.
[20:33] Jessica
You have... no right to be here now.
[20:38] Jessica
So...
[20:40] Jessica
Take your soldiers and leave here at once!
[20:46] Christian
Those eyes...
[20:49] Christian
Who the hell do you think you are?!
[21:06] Guy
Stop!
[21:07] Guy
Stop or we'll shoot!
[21:08] Guy
Stop!
[21:10] Christian
It doesn't matter! Shoot them! Shoot them!

He probably hopes to claim the glory

Crush them.

Understood.

You're doing good work for me, Kircheis.
[00:40] Reinhard
I've heard some referring to you
as the King of the Frontier.
[00:47] Kircheis
I only want to end this
conflict as soon as possible
[00:51] Kircheis
so that I can return to your side quickly.

I am a living witness to the fact that

Marquis Littenheim killed his
own men to save himself.
[07:09] Kircheis
I would appreciate your help.
[07:11] Kircheis
Please send a message advising the

[07:15] Rinnesal
My arm was blown off by my own lord.

I will inform those at Garmisch
of this fact, as well.

Of course,

Admiral Merkatz was a highly renowned

It will make things rather difficult

[09:35] Reinhard
Free rein, eh? That is the issue here.
[09:39] Reinhard
I doubt that Braunschweig has the
capacity to let him do that.
[09:45] Paul
Understood.
[09:46] Paul
Rather than taking on Admiral Merkatz himself,

it may be more prudent to deal
with the one behind him,

who is the cause of all his problems.
[09:58] Reinhard
Hear me, you ignorant, cowardly nobles.
[10:02] Reinhard
Come out of that fortress and
fight me like real men.
[10:05] Reinhard
If you don't have the guts to do that,

then throw away your baseless
pride and surrender.

order to deploy at once!
[10:44] Otho
Oh! You'll do this for me?
[10:46] Merkatz
You mustn't.
[10:51] Merkatz
This is a clear attempt to provoke us.
[10:54] Merkatz
I forbid anyone to deploy at this time.
[10:57] Flegel
Are you giving orders to my uncle,
the leader of this coalition?!
[11:00] Merkatz
I have full authority in military matters.
[11:03] Merkatz
That was our agreement.

Ignoring Merkatz's warning,

Garmisch Fortress has fallen
into the enemy's hands?!

That damned Littenheim was a pain
in my side to the very end!
[11:57] Otho
However...
[11:59] Otho
This means I alone am worthy to bear
the future of the Goldenbaum Dynasty.

But we have lost half of our forces.

[12:20] Flegel
Did you bear witness to our victory, Uncle?

You did splendidly, Flegel!
[12:27] Flegel
They were certainly quick to run away.
[12:31] Flegel
I guess that's what the nickname
"Gale Wolf" truly meant.

I have a message for all of you.
[12:40] Merkatz
Surrender your rank insignias and weapons
[12:42] Merkatz
and prepare yourselves
to be court-martialed.
[12:45] Merkatz
Violation of orders will be judged in
accordance with military regulations.
[12:49] Flegel
As a proud noble, I would
rather die in battle
[12:53] Flegel
than be judged by a commander with
no courage or self-respect!
[12:59] Flegel
If I must be unjustly court-martialed,
[13:01] Flegel
I'll just end my life right here and now!
[13:04] Flegel
I do not fear death!

We can't let Rear Admiral Flegel die alone!

Let us all take our lives right here

so that future generations will see
our pride as Imperial nobility!
[13:19] Otho
Now, wait a moment.
[13:22] Otho
Admiral Merkatz does have full
authority in military matters.
[13:25] Otho
But it is I, the coalition leader,
who decides whether or not we fight.
[13:31] Otho
I'm sure that makes sense to you, yes?
[13:35] Otho
Your courage and self-respect
[13:38] Otho
have shown everyone the true
spirit of Imperial nobility
[13:42] Otho
and dealt a crushing blow to
those conceited peasants.

There is no need to fear Lohengramm!

We will be victorious!

we can declare that these people have
no right to rule the universe.

However, I have seen the error in my actions

The Galactic Empire is currently

came up with this plan.
[05:56] Dwight
Then who devised such an elaborate plan?
[06:11] Lynch
Yang Wen-li was right.
[06:15] Lynch
This coup d'état was all
that blond boy's idea...
[06:22] Lynch
The Galactic Imperial Fleet Admiral,
[06:25] Lynch
Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm.
[06:30] Lynch
He wanted to instigate
infighting within the Alliance
[06:34] Lynch
while he takes care of the
nobles through the civil war.
[06:38] Dwight
Are you saying we've been dancing like clowns
[06:42] Dwight
in Marquis Lohengramm's palm this whole time?
[06:46] Lynch
And you all danced quite divinely.
[06:50] Lynch
All was proceeding according to his scenario,
[06:52] Lynch
but he found himself stuck in a corner...
[06:56] Lynch
because you were such incompetent actors.
[07:02] Dwight
Rear Admiral Lynch, why did you do this?
[07:04] Dwight
Did he offer you some irresistible condition?
[07:07] Lynch
There was that, but that wasn't all of it.
[07:12] Lynch
It wasn't about anything
that any one person did.
[07:15] Lynch
I just wanted to make a lot of
irredeemably self-righteous people
[07:18] Lynch
experience humiliation that no
amount of excuses could justify.
[07:25] Lynch
So how does it feel, Admiral Greenhill,
[07:27] Lynch
knowing that your wonderful
National Salvation Military Council
[07:31] Lynch
was just a tool for the most
ambitious man in the Empire?
[07:41] Guy
Chairman!
[07:42] Guy
Multiple flying objects
incoming at high speed!
[07:45] Guy
Trajectory analysis shows that
their target is not this planet,
[07:48] Guy
but Artemis's Necklace!
[07:50] Guy
There are twelve in number!
SIGN Altair VII
[08:10] Na
Three hundred years ago
in the Galactic Empire,
[08:13] Na
on the bitterly cold planet Altair VII,
[08:16] Na
there was a young republican who was
forced to work like a slave in the mines.
[08:22] Na
His name was Arle Heinessen.
SIGN Arle Heinessen
[08:25] Na
His deepest desire was to escape Altair VII
[08:28] Na
and start a new nation with
a republican government.
[08:32] Na
The only obstacle in his way
was acquiring the materials
[08:35] Na
to build a spacecraft that
would carry people there.
[08:39] Yang
One day, he saw some children
playing with boats made from ice,
[08:44] Yang
and it came to him.
[08:45] Yang
He made ships out of the unlimited
supply of dry ice on Altair VII
[08:50] Yang
and embarked on what would later be called
the Ten Thousand Light-Year Exodus.
[08:55] Yang
This operation mimics this legend forged
by Heinessen, the founder of our nation.
[09:00] Yang
We carved a dozen ice floes
out of Planet Srinagar.
[09:03] Yang
Each has a volume of one cubic kilometer
[09:06] Yang
and weighs one billion tons.
[09:09] Yang
We added engines so that the ice
floes can fly at near light speed.
[09:15] Yang
An object's effective mass increases
as it approaches light speed,
[09:20] Yang
so if a billion-ton ice floe were to
crash into something at light speed...
[09:25] Yang
No military satellite stands a chance.
[09:28] Yang
But the ice floes and
satellites are both unmanned.
[09:32] Yang
If this is successful, we can take out
Artemis's Necklace without bloodshed.
[09:38] Murai
But should we really destroy
all twelve of them?
[09:42] Murai
Shouldn't we keep a few
serviceable for later?
[09:46] Yang
No need.
[09:47] Yang
The presence of those things
[09:49] Yang
is what gave people the illusion that
they could pull off a coup d'état.
[09:54] Yang
We'll destroy all of them.
[11:02] Gatty
Artemis's Necklace... is destroyed...
[11:09] Dwight
It's all over.
[11:11] Dwight
Our military revolution has failed.
[11:13] Dwight
We've lost.
[11:16] Dwight
We need to accept that.
[11:17] Ebense
No, it's not over yet!
[11:19] Ebense
We still have Heinessen's billion citizens,
[11:21] Ebense
as well as its key military
and political personnel!
[11:25] Ebense
The 13th Fleet can't—
[11:26] Dwight
Give it up.
[11:29] Dwight
Further resistance would
not only prove futile,
[11:32] Dwight
it would also hinder the reunification
of the nation and its people.
[11:37] Gatty
In that case...
[11:39] Gatty
What do we do now?
[11:41] Gatty
Will we surrender and face judgment?
[11:44] Dwight
Those who want to are welcome to do so.
[11:47] Dwight
I choose another path.
[11:51] Dwight
But there is something I must do first.
[11:56] Dwight
We must not leave behind
any evidence or witnesses
[12:01] Dwight
to the fact that our noble uprising
was a scheme by the Empire.
[12:08] Dwight
Rear Admiral Lynch, I always
had high hopes for you,
[12:13] Dwight
ever since cadet school,
when you were two classes behind me.
[12:18] Dwight
What happened at El Facil nine
years ago was truly regrettable.
[12:23] Dwight
I had hoped that what we did here
would help to restore your honor.
[12:33] Lynch
You never had very good judgment.
[12:54] Lynch
You fools...
[12:59] Lynch
I did it to save his honor!
[13:04] Lynch
Couldn't you even figure that out?
[13:06] Lynch
Dying was better for him than living
[13:09] Lynch
and being put on trial, wasn't it?
[13:14] Lynch
Honor... What a useless concept...
[13:26] Ebense
I, Alliance Navy Captain Ebense,
wish to speak with you
[13:29] Ebense
on behalf of the National Salvation
Military Council chairman.
[13:33] Ebense
There's no point in attacking us.
[13:35] Ebense
We have accepted our defeat and
will offer no pointless resistance.
[13:40] Ebense
Everything is over.
[13:42] Yang
I'm glad to hear that,
[13:45] Yang
but where is the National Salvation Military
Council chairman, Admiral Greenhill?
[13:49] Yang
I don't see him there.
[13:53] Ebense
He took his own life.
[13:55] Ebense
His was a perfect ending.
[13:59] Ebense
Admiral Yang, our objective
[14:03] Ebense
was to purify our democratic republic
[14:05] Ebense
and wipe the Galactic Empire's
autocracy out of existence.
[14:10] Ebense
It is unfortunate that we
failed to realize this ideal.
[14:14] Ebense
Admiral Yang, you have just contributed
to the survival of autocracy!
[14:20] Yang
And what, exactly, is autocracy?
[14:23] Yang
It is when politicians who
weren't chosen by the people
[14:25] Yang
use power and violence to
take everyone's freedom away
[14:28] Yang
in an effort to rule over them, is it not?
[14:31] Yang
That is precisely what all of
you are doing on Heinessen.
[14:35] Yang
You are the autocracy.
[14:38] Yang
Am I wrong?
[14:39] Ebense
You are wrong!
[14:40] Ebense
Everyone knows our government is corrupt.
[14:43] Ebense
What other way was there to fix that?
[14:47] Yang
Corruption in government is not
politicians accepting bribes.
[14:51] Yang
That is corruption in the individual.
[14:54] Yang
Being unable to speak out against
such acts is the true corruption.
[14:59] Yang
You ordered the regulation of speech.
[15:02] Yang
That alone disqualifies you from
criticizing the Empire's autocracy
[15:06] Yang
or the corruption in the Alliance's
current government. Do you not agree?
[15:11] Ebense
We put our lives and honor on the line.
[15:14] Ebense
I won't allow anyone to
slander our names for that.
[15:18] Ebense
We were not lacking in justice.
[15:21] Ebense
The only things we lacked
were luck and competence.
[15:24] Ebense
Nothing more than that.
[15:27] Yang
Captain Ebense...
[15:30] Ebense
Long live the National
Salvation Military Council!
[15:38] Murai
Even in the bitter end, he couldn't
admit to his own mistakes.
[15:42] Yang
Proceed with preparations to land.
SIGN Yes, sir.
[15:50] Frederica
Admiral.
[15:53] Frederica
May I have an hour... no, two hours?
[15:58] Frederica
I know that I can get back on my own feet,
[16:02] Frederica
but I don't think I can do so immediately.
[16:06] Frederica
So, please...
[16:07] Yang
Of course.
[17:10] Bewcock
I'm so ashamed.
[17:12] Bewcock
I had the information,
but I couldn't help you at all.
[17:18] Yang
Please, sir.
[17:19] Yang
I'm the one who caused
problems by taking too long.
[17:23] Yang
Is there anything you need?
[17:26] Bewcock
Well, at the moment,
I sure wouldn't mind a bottle of whiskey.
[17:31] Yang
I'll have it brought to you right away.
[17:35] Bewcock
So, what happened to Admiral Greenhill?
[17:40] Yang
He's dead.
[17:42] Bewcock
I see.
[17:44] Bewcock
The old man has outlived the youth again...
[18:02] Frederica
There is much we need to do.
[18:04] Frederica
Informing the nation of
[18:06] Frederica
the coup d'état's failure and the
restoration of constitutional rule,
[18:09] Frederica
assessing the damage,
[18:11] Frederica
apprehending the surviving members of
the National Salvation Military Council,
[18:14] Frederica
and also...
[18:16] Yang
My head hurts.
[18:18] Frederica
You don't have time for headaches.
[18:22] Frederica
It's Commodore Schönkopf.
[18:25] Yang
What is it?
[18:26] Walter
Julian's just found someone
we didn't expect to see.
[18:29] Yang
Who is it?
[18:31] Walter
I don't think you want to hear his name,
[18:33] Walter
but it's the High Council chairman.
[18:37] Yang
Trunicht...
[18:40] Walter
He found him on his way back from
seeing Admiral Bewcock home.
[18:46] Julian
Warrant Officer Machungo, is that...
SIGN Free Planets Alliance Head of State
Job Trunicht
[18:56] Walter
He said Chairman Trunicht was
surrounded by Earth Cultists.
[19:03] Yang
Good grief...
[19:05] Yang
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, huh?
[19:10] Yang
Earth Cultists...
[19:14] Guy
Berezka, alter your route

[19:17] Guy*
Cargo is being unloaded on the C deck.
[19:20] Konev

SIGN Dominique Saint-Pierre
[19:41] Adrian
You seem to be in a bad mood.
[19:43] Konev
No, I always look like this.
[19:46] Konev
It certainly isn't because I'm with you.
[19:49] Adrian
You transported the
Earth Cultists to Terra, yes?
[19:53] Konev
Yes, sir.
SIGN Dominion of Fezzan Leader
Adrian Rubinsky
[19:54] Adrian
Considering the dangers of carrying
them through a battlefield,
[19:57] Adrian
I hear the resulting gains
were hardly worth it.
[20:00] Adrian
Is that why you seem so displeased?
SIGN Boris Konev
[20:04] Konev
Perhaps.
[20:05] Adrian
Incidentally, what do you think
about the Earth Cultists?
[20:09] Konev
I'm not quite sure, but in
terms of religion in general,
[20:14] Konev
I think the idea that poor people trust God
to be impartial seems quite contradictory.
[20:19] Konev
It's because God is biased
that people become poor.
[20:23] Adrian
You have a point.
[20:24] Adrian
You don't believe in God, then?
[20:27] Konev
Not in the least.
[20:30] Konev
Whoever came up with the idea of God
[20:33] Konev
was the greatest con artist in history.
[20:37] Konev
I only admire that person's
imagination and business sense.
[20:40] Konev
From ancient times all the way up to today,
[20:43] Konev
the wealthiest ones in
every country have been
[20:45] Konev
nobles, landowners,
and religious organizations.
[20:49] Adrian
As interesting as that is,
[20:51] Adrian
isn't it just your own personal opinion?
[20:55] Konev
No, I actually heard most of it second-hand.
[20:59] Konev
I traveled from planet to planet with
my father when I was growing up.
[21:04] Konev
At one point, I met another child
who lived in similar circumstances.
[21:08] Konev
He was two years older
than me and very smart,
[21:11] Konev
and he spent a lot of time thinking.
[21:13] Konev
He's the one who told me that.
[21:15] Adrian
Oh? And what was his name?
[21:19] Konev
Yang Wen-li.
[21:20] Konev
I hear he's working some
useless military job now.
[21:25] Konev
As a free man, I can't help
feeling some pity for him.
[21:30] Adrian
Captain Boris Konev...
[21:32] Konev
Yes, sir?
[21:34] Adrian
The government of the Dominion of Fezzan
has a very important job for you.
[21:41] Konev
Sir?
[21:49] Marinesk
We received a notice from
the energy agency earlier.
SIGN Manager Marinesk
[21:52] Marinesk
They said we'd never have
to worry about fuel again.
[21:56] Marinesk
What sorcery did you use on them?
[21:59] Konev
I sold myself to the government.
[22:01] Marinesk
Huh?
[22:01] Konev
They're sending me to the Free Planets Alliance
as an intelligence officer.
[22:06] Marinesk
Oh...
[22:08] Konev
You know, the one thing the
Konev family was most proud of
[22:11] Konev
was that we've produced no criminals
or bureaucrats in 200 years!
[22:15] Konev
We are free citizens! Free citizens!
[22:17] Konev
And now they want me to
be a spy, of all things?!
[22:21] Konev
That's both of those things at once!
[22:23] Marinesk
That's "intelligence officer," not "spy."
[22:27] Konev
Calling it by a different name doesn't change it!
[22:29] Konev
If you called cancer a cold,
would that make it a cold?
[22:34] Konev
If you called a lion a mouse,
would you survive a bite from one?
[22:38] Konev
They knew I was acquainted with
Yang Wen-li before I even said it!
[22:43] Konev
This isn't funny! Maybe I should
just tell Yang everything!
[22:48] Marinesk
I don't think that'll work.
[22:50] Marinesk
They'll have eyes on you at all times.
[22:52] Marinesk
Eyes of both observation and sanction.
[22:56] Konev
That Black Fox thinks he's doing me a favor.
[23:02] Konev
Well, let him. No, I'll make sure
he keeps thinking that... for now.

It's been a long time, Reinhard.
[01:58] Annerose
Are you well?
[02:00] Annerose
I'm living my days in peace
and quiet, thanks to you.
[02:06] Annerose
I made a Kelsey plum cake the other day.
[02:10] Annerose
It reminded me of you two
boys when you were little,
[02:13] Annerose
and you would eat my cake while
saying how delicious it was.
[02:17] Annerose
It was so long ago that it
seems almost like a dream now.
[02:24] Annerose
Did such a thing really happen?
[02:29] Annerose
Please, Reinhard, never forget what
it is that's most important to you.
[02:39] Annerose
I'm sure you'll find that
troublesome at times,
[02:43] Annerose
but rather than regretting
it after you lose it,
[02:45] Annerose
I want you to realize how precious
it is while you still have it.
[02:50] Annerose
You have a friend you can rely on.
[02:54] Annerose
Talk to Sieg about all decisions you face,
[02:56] Annerose

High Admiral Kircheis entering.
[03:17] Reinhard
Good work, Kircheis.
[03:20] Reinhard
You must be tired.
[03:21] Reinhard
Would you prefer wine or coffee?
[03:24] Reinhard
If only we had some of
my sister's cake, too...
[03:27] Kircheis
Reinhard, I need to speak with you.
[03:35] Reinhard
About what?
[03:36] Kircheis
About the two million citizens
who were massacred on Westerland.
[03:42] Reinhard
What about them?
[03:44] Kircheis
I have been told that
you knew about this plan
[03:46] Kircheis
and gave tacit consent to execute
it for political reasons.
[03:50] Kircheis
Is that true?
[03:56] Kircheis
I thought the reason you sought supremacy was
[03:58] Kircheis
because you saw meaning in an impartiality
that does not exist in the current Empire,
[04:04] Kircheis
in the Goldenbaum Dynasty.
[04:06] Reinhard
I don't need you to remind me of that.
[04:08] Kircheis
The downfall of the high nobility
is a historical inevitability.
[04:12] Kircheis
We are settling a debt five
centuries in the making,
[04:15] Kircheis
so some bloodshed is unavoidable.
[04:17] Kircheis
Still,
[04:19] Kircheis
it is never right to sacrifice citizens.
[04:22] Kircheis
The new order must be established with the
liberated citizenry as its foundation.
[04:27] Kircheis
Is sacrificing those citizens
not comparable to
[04:31] Kircheis
digging the ground out
from under your own feet?
[04:34] Reinhard
I told you, I know that!
[04:36] Kircheis
If you sacrifice citizens,
there will be blood on your hands
[04:40] Kircheis
that no amount of flowery
rhetoric can ever wash off.
[04:45] Kircheis
Why would a man of your
standing shame himself so
[04:49] Reinhard
for the sake of temporary gain?
[04:51] Reinhard
I've had enough of your lectures!
[04:54] Reinhard
First of all, Kircheis, when did I
ask for your opinion on this matter?
[05:01] Reinhard
I said, when did I ask for your opinion?!
[05:04] Kircheis
You did not ask for it.
[05:07] Reinhard
You only need to give me your
opinions when I ask for them.
[05:12] Reinhard
This matter is in the past. Leave it.
[05:14] Kircheis
But, Reinhard, although the nobles
have done something unforgivable,
[05:18] Kircheis
you did not do what you needed to do.
[05:22] Kircheis
Which is the greater sin?
[05:24] Reinhard
Kircheis!
[05:26] Kircheis
Yes, sir?

What are you to me?

[07:05] Hilda
I'll be praying for your success.
[07:11] Paul
I'm not sure you should be giving
Admiral Kircheis special treatment.
[07:17] Paul
His military deeds are too great.
[07:20] Paul
It is true that you were able to focus
on fighting the nobles' coalition
[07:24] Paul
largely because he subjugated
that frontier starzone.
[07:30] Paul
But to make him the vanguard in
the final battle on top of that...
[07:34] Reinhard
I am not giving him special treatment.
[07:37] Reinhard
Even if the entire universe
turned against me,
[07:40] Reinhard
Kircheis would remain on my side.
[07:42] Reinhard
That has always been the case.
[07:45] Reinhard
So I have been repaying him for that.
[07:48] Reinhard
What's wrong with that?
[07:49] Paul
Your Excellency, I am not suggesting
you purge or banish Admiral Kircheis.
[07:58] Paul
But an organization has
no need for a number two.
[08:02] Paul
Whether they are competent or not,
they are a detriment to the organization.
[08:07] Paul
There is no substitute for the loyalty given
to the number one by all his subordinates.
[08:13] Reinhard
Enough. You are growing tedious.
[08:18] Paul
We believe the cornered nobles' coalition
will launch an all-out attack soon.
[08:24] Paul
This will most likely be the final battle.
[08:28] Paul
I will now explain to you our strategy
for dealing with the traitors.
[08:36] Paul
Admiral Kircheis.
[08:37] Kircheis
Yes, sir.
[08:38] Paul
You will serve as the vanguard
in this operation...
[08:46] Wolfgang
Marquis Lohengramm and Kircheis
seemed different today.
[08:51] Wolfgang
Normally, the fleet admiral would
have given him orders himself.
[08:55] Oskar
This time, though,
Oberstein stepped in between them.
[08:59] Oskar
Our strategist doesn't seem fond
[09:01] Oskar
of the fact that his Excellency values Kircheis
on both official and personal levels.
[09:06] Oskar
Of course, it's not that I
don't understand his reasoning.
[09:10] Wolfgang
He's a sharp man. I admit that.
[09:13] Wolfgang
Although, isn't he just bringing conflict
where there was always peace?
[09:18] Wolfgang
There's no need to change something
that's always worked just fine.
[09:23] Wolfgang
Especially when it comes
to human relationships.
[09:27] Oskar
Regardless, the first thing we
need to do is win this battle.
[09:30] Oskar
Nothing can happen until then.
[09:34] Fahrenheit
What? We're deploying?!
[09:38] Otho
What is your issue with that?
[09:40] Fahrenheit
We should use the fortress to our advantage
[09:43] Fahrenheit
and wait for our chance to drag
the enemy into a prolonged battle.
SIGN Vice Admiral Adalbert von Fahrenheit
[09:47] Fahrenheit
What purpose would it serve to deploy now?
[09:49] Flegel
That "von" in your name is the only
thing that makes you a high noble!
[09:52] Flegel
Know your place!
[09:54] Fahrenheit
Nonsense!
[09:55] Fahrenheit
I'll have you know the duke and I are
comrades, not master and servant.
[09:59] Fahrenheit
Regardless of status, we are fellow
courtiers of the Galactic Empire
[10:03] Fahrenheit
who protect the Goldenbaum Dynasty
from Marquis Lohengramm's tyranny.
[10:08] Fahrenheit
We should be bound by this shared goal.
[10:11] Fahrenheit
I am merely offering a warning as
a specialist in military affairs
[10:14] Fahrenheit
in hopes of preventing
the worst-case scenario.
[10:17] Fahrenheit
Yet you would force your will
upon us, as if giving orders?
[10:21] Fahrenheit
You seem to be operating on a
misunderstanding, Duke Braunschweig.
[10:27] Otho
I have no use for cowards!
[10:29] Otho
All ships, deploy!
[10:30] Otho
Bring that blond brat's head
back to me without delay!
[10:51] Paul
They appear to be on the
move, Your Excellency.
[10:54] Reinhard
Order Kircheis to deploy.
[11:00] Kircheis
All ships, full speed ahead!
SIGN Lippstadt Nobles Coalition Navy Flagship

[11:10] Na
The nobles' coalition deployed
with the Flegel Fleet at its head,

rushing forward with all
their ships' bows aligned.
[11:18] Flegel
Tonight, they will taste the outrage
we have endured for so many years!
[11:24] Flegel
Feuer!
[11:34] Flegel
The Barbarossa?
[11:46] Paul
The enemy's advance guard has collapsed.
[11:48] Reinhard
Good.
[11:49] Reinhard
Second wave: Mittermeyer, Reuenthal,
Bittenfeld, and Kempff Fleets, deploy.
[11:56] Reinhard
Wahlen and Mecklinger Fleets
to the front of the rear line.
[11:59] Reinhard
Lutz Fleet to the back of the rear line.

I presume you are Admiral Reuenthal.
[12:51] Flegel
I am Baron Flegel.
[12:54] Flegel
I request a one-on-one battle
between my battleship and yours.
[12:58] Flegel
Our noble spirit and loyalty
to the Empire are true.
[13:03] Flegel
I must prove this personally.
[13:05] Oskar
There's no point.
[13:07] Oskar
Cut him off.
[13:08] Flegel
Wait! You must also—
[13:10] Flegel
That bastard!
[13:12] Flegel
A filthy low-born could never
understand the pride of the nobility!
[13:16] Flegel
Is there no one among the enemy ranks
with the backbone to give his life
[13:20] Flegel
in a noble one-on-one battle with me?!
[13:23] Flegel
Find someone, whatever it takes!
[13:25] Leopold
Please stop this.
SIGN Captain Leopold Schumacher
[13:31] Leopold
No one is going to fight you.
[13:34] Leopold
It is as Admiral Reuenthal said.
[13:37] Leopold
There would be no point.
[13:39] Leopold
We should just be grateful to be alive,
[13:42] Leopold
flee somewhere safe, and plan our recovery.
[13:45] Flegel
Silence!
[13:46] Flegel
I am not afraid to die!
[13:49] Flegel
I only wish for a glorious death
befitting an Imperial noble!
[13:54] Leopold
It's because you speak such
nonsense that you lose in battle.
[13:58] Flegel
Excuse me?
[13:59] Leopold
If what you want is a "glorious death,"
[14:01] Leopold
then just grant that wish for yourself.
[14:04] Leopold
We have no reason to follow
you and throw away our lives.
[14:11] Flegel
You bastard!
[14:35] Flegel
L-Long... live...

the Emp...ire...
[14:54] Schneider
Please don't, Your Excellency.
[14:58] Merkatz
Lieutenant Commander Schneider...
[15:00] Schneider
I thought you might do this, so I removed
the energy capsule from your blaster.
[15:05] Merkatz
I had a feeling things would end this way,
[15:07] Merkatz
but all I could do was delay the
arrival of this day by a tiny bit.
[15:13] Merkatz
Still, I didn't notice you removing
the capsule. When did you do it?
[15:23] Merkatz
You really fooled me.
[15:25] Merkatz
You're that determined not to let me die?
[15:28] Schneider
Yes, I am.
[15:30] Merkatz
But what am I supposed
to do with my life now?
[15:34] Schneider
Marquis Lohengramm has not taken
control of the entire universe.
[15:39] Schneider
There are still places that
have not fallen into his hands.
[15:42] Schneider
Go to such a place to preserve your
life and rebuild your strength!
[15:47] Merkatz
Are you telling me to defect?
[15:49] Schneider
Yes, Your Excellency.
[15:51] Merkatz
Since you're suggesting
I rebuild my strength,
[15:54] Merkatz
I assume you're not talking
about defecting to Fezzan.
[15:58] Merkatz
The Free Planets Alliance?
[16:01] Schneider
Yes.
[16:03] Merkatz
I've been fighting them
for over forty years now.
[16:08] Merkatz
Many of my men have died by their hands,
as many of theirs died by ours.
[16:12] Merkatz
Would they even accept me?
[16:16] Schneider
We should trust in the renowned Yang Wen-li.
[16:19] Schneider
He may be slightly eccentric,
[16:21] Schneider
but I have heard that he is a benevolent man.
[16:23] Schneider
If he refuses,
[16:25] Schneider
then I will accompany you in death.
[16:28] Merkatz
Don't be a fool. You have to live.
[16:31] Merkatz
With your talent, Marquis Lohengramm is
sure to give you an esteemed position.
[16:36] Schneider
I do not dislike Marquis Lohengramm,
[16:39] Schneider
but I've made up my mind that you
are the only superior I answer to.
[16:43] Schneider
Please, give me your decision.
[16:50] Merkatz
Then I'll entrust myself to you.
[16:53] Merkatz
Let's contact Yang Wen-li.
[16:58] Reinhard
It's just as Fraulein Mariendorf said.
[17:01] Reinhard
She said an uprising by the common soldiers
would be one reason for my victory.
[17:06] Reinhard
She was right on the mark.
[17:08] Paul
This ended even more quickly than I expected.
[17:12] Paul
Of course, that only goes for the traitors.
[17:16] Reinhard
The enemies in front of us
have lost their strength.
[17:19] Reinhard
Return to Odin and begin preparations
to face those at the rear.
[17:23] Paul
Understood.
SIGN Geiersburg Fortress
[17:37] Ansbach
Your Excellency.
[17:38] Otho
Ah, Ansbach.
[17:40] Otho
I thought you had been imprisoned.
[17:42] Ansbach
My men rescued me.
[17:45] Otho
What has become of my family?
[17:47] Ansbach
They are safe.
[17:49] Ansbach
I have already taken them to a safe location.
[17:52] Otho
Oh, good. Then I'll also—
[17:54] Ansbach
First, come this way.
[18:13] Otho
Ansbach, exactly what have you arranged?
[18:17] Ansbach
I am truly sorry,
[18:19] Ansbach
but given the position we are currently in,
[18:21] Ansbach
Your Excellency must make a decision.
[18:26] Otho
I suppose our only choice is to make peace.
[18:29] Ansbach
By which you mean...
[18:30] Otho
I'll offer him favorable conditions.
[18:33] Otho
I will recognize his supremacy and
give him my daughter Elizabeth.
[18:38] Otho
He would then be the previous
emperor's grandson by marriage,
[18:41] Otho
giving him the proper status to
legitimately succeed the imperial line.
[18:45] Ansbach
This is futile, Your Excellency.
[18:48] Ansbach
It may have worked six months ago,
[18:50] Ansbach
but Marquis Lohengramm has no
need of your assistance now.
[18:57] Ansbach
He will gain status through his own merits,
[19:00] Ansbach
and it is unlikely anyone can stop him.
[19:03] Otho
I am Duke Braunschweig,
[19:06] Otho
head of the most prestigious
noble family in the Empire!
[19:10] Otho
Are you saying that blond
brat would kill me?!
[19:14] Ansbach
That is exactly why he has
no reason to let you live.
[19:18] Ansbach
You are an enemy of humanity.
[19:20] Otho
An enemy... of humanity?
[19:23] Ansbach
I refer to Westerland.
[19:25] Ansbach
I'm sure you haven't forgotten about that.
[19:27] Otho
Are you saying that killing a
bunch of low-borns is a crime?!
[19:31] Otho
I merely exercised my natural
rights as a noble, as their ruler!
[19:37] Ansbach
Until now, the Galactic Empire has operated
on the logic of the nobility, as you say.
[19:42] Ansbach
But from now on, it will
operate on different logic.
[19:46] Ansbach
To demonstrate that,
[19:48] Ansbach
Marquis Lohengramm will have
no choice but to kill you.
[19:59] Ansbach
As the last leader of
the Braunschweig family,
[20:03] Ansbach
I implore you to end your
own life with dignity.
[20:12] Otho
Very well. I will die.
[20:15] Otho
But I cannot bear to let the
blond brat usurp the throne!
[20:20] Otho
He should accompany me to hell!
[20:24] Otho
Ansbach, do whatever it takes to stop him!
[20:29] Otho
If you'll promise me that, I will
end my own life without regrets!
[20:33] Otho
Please, kill him!
[20:37] Ansbach
Very well. I promise to
kill Marquis Lohengramm.
[20:42] Otho
I see...
[20:45] Otho
Good.
[20:48] Otho
I'd like my death to be
as painless as possible.
[20:57] Ansbach
Your Excellency.
[20:59] Ansbach
You will suddenly feel sleepy
and die without suffering.
[21:14] Otho
No!
[21:15] Otho
I won't! I don't want to die!
[21:18] Otho
I'll surrender to him!
[21:19] Otho
He can have my domain and
my status, but not my life!
[21:27] Otho
What are you doing?! Insolence!
[21:29] Otho
Get your filthy hands off me!
[21:43] Ansbach
Your Excellency.
[22:13] Ansbach
Call the physician and
take him to the infirmary.
[22:15] Guy
But he has already passed.
[22:18] Ansbach
Do as you're told.
[22:20] Guy
Very well, sir.
[22:26] Ansbach
With this, the Goldenbaum Dynasty
has truly fallen.
[22:30] Ansbach
It will be followed by
the age of Grünewald...

Or will it?

These are our orders.

I do apologize.

Very well. No need to apologize.

Reinhard may have moments when
he hesitates or makes mistakes,

Since the Battle of Astarte, I think.
[03:53] Fahrenheit
Indeed.

Allying with the likes of Duke Braunschweig

It's been three days since
he imposed the gag order.
[09:03] Oskar
We can't keep this up any longer.
[09:05] Oskar
It's not as if we can remain
silent toward Odin forever.
[09:10] Lutz
But to be honest,
[09:12] Lutz
I never realized the marquis
had such a fragile side.
[09:16] Wolfgang
He wouldn't be like this if it
had been you or me who died.
[09:22] Wolfgang
Siegfried Kircheis is special.
[09:25] Wolfgang
Was special.
[09:28] Wolfgang
He has essentially lost half of himself.
[09:32] Wolfgang
Because of his own mistake, no less.
[09:36] Oskar
We have to hope
Marquis Lohengramm will bounce back.
[09:39] Oskar
No, we need him to.
[09:43] Oskar
If he doesn't, we'll all end up singing
an elegy into the galactic abyss.
[09:50] Fritz
But what are we supposed to do?
[09:53] Fritz
How do we get him back on his feet?
[09:55] Ernest
If there's anyone who can offer a solution,
[09:57] Ernest
it's him.
[09:59] Fritz
Him?
[10:00] Lutz
You know who.
[10:02] Lutz
The man who isn't here right now.
[10:04] Wolfgang
We'll have to seek out his wisdom?
[10:07] Oskar
We have no choice.
[10:08] Oskar
I'm sure even he is well aware that he is
who he is because of Marquis Lohengramm.
[10:15] Wolfgang
This would mean we'll owe him a favor.
[10:19] Wolfgang
What if he demands that we grant
him preferential privileges?
[10:24] Oskar
All of us, including Oberstein,
are aboard the ship Lohengramm.
[10:30] Oskar
We have to save the ship if
we want to save ourselves.
[10:35] Oskar
If Oberstein tries to turn this
crisis into his own profit,
[10:41] Oskar
we'll just have to retaliate
with the appropriate measures.
[10:49] Guy
Vice Admiral Oberstein has arrived.
[10:55] Paul
You've been in council for quite a long
time to have not arrived at a conclusion.
[11:00] Oskar
Well, with our navy's number one and
number two absent, we do lack leadership.
[11:06] Oskar
So, do you have any good
ideas, chief of staff?
[11:10] Paul
I just might.
[11:15] Paul
Ask Marquis Lohengramm's sister to help.
[11:19] Wolfgang
Countess Grünewald?
[11:22] Wolfgang
We thought of that, but...
[11:24] Paul
You can leave that part to me.
[11:26] Paul
But there is something
I'll need all of you to do.
[11:30] Paul
I need you to capture the man who
killed High Admiral Kircheis.
[11:35] Oskar
What a strange thing to say.
[11:37] Oskar
Wasn't Ansbach the killer?
[11:39] Paul
He is merely a bit actor.
[11:41] Paul
We will officially say that the
principal offender is someone else.
[11:44] Paul
Someone much more significant.
[11:47] Wolfgang
Who?
[11:48] Paul
The Imperial Prime Minister,
Marquis Lichtenlade.
[11:55] Wolfgang
I wouldn't want to have you as an enemy.
[11:58] Wolfgang
There's no way I'd win.
[12:01] Paul
Marquis Lichtenlade must be
eliminated sooner or later.
[12:05] Paul
Besides, it's not as if his
heart is as pure as an angel's.
[12:11] Paul
There's no doubt that he's been working on
his own plot to eliminate Marquis Lohengramm.
[12:17] Oskar
So you're saying it wouldn't
be a completely false charge.
[12:21] Paul
You must return to Odin as soon as possible,
[12:24] Paul
capture Marquis Lichtenlade,
and steal the state seal.
[12:28] Paul
Then we can establish
Marquis Lohengramm as dictator.
[12:33] Wolfgang
But what if the one who steals
the state seal stays on Odin
[12:38] Wolfgang
and tries to become the dictator himself?
[12:41] Paul
No need to worry.
[12:43] Paul
Even if one of you has such an ambition,
[12:46] Paul
the other admirals who are
of equal rank will stop him.
[12:49] Paul
None of you are the type to resign yourself
[12:52] Paul
to being subordinate to
someone who was your equal.
[12:55] Paul
That's exactly the reason why I believe
having a number two is unnecessary.
[13:02] Oskar
Power is not determined by
the means used to acquire it.
[13:06] Oskar
It is justified by the manner
in which one exercises it.
[13:10] Wolfgang
Which means some scheming and
swindling are inevitable.
[13:20] Oskar
We will use this opportunity
[13:22] Oskar
to purge the enemies of
Marquis Lohengramm hiding in the palace
[13:25] Oskar
and take back all political authority.
[13:32] Wolfgang
Leave the deserters behind.
[13:34] Wolfgang
All that matters is that
they reach Odin eventually.

[14:26] Klaus
Why are you riffraff making such a ruckus?
[14:28] Oskar
Marquis Lichtenlade...
[14:32] Oskar
We are here to arrest you.
[14:35] Klaus
On what charges?
[14:37] Oskar
The charge of being the principal
offender in the attempted assassination
[14:40] Oskar
of Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm.
[14:44] Klaus
You fool!
[14:45] Klaus
What evidence do you have
to prove such nonsense?
[14:49] Klaus
I am the Imperial Prime Minister!
[14:51] Klaus
I stand above all of you as the one
who gives counsel to the emperor!
[14:55] Oskar
And at the same time,
you are an irreverent conspirator.
[15:00] Oskar
Restrain him!
[15:04] Wolfgang
Where is the state seal?
[15:06] Guy
On what authority do you ask that?
[15:10] Guy
This is the room where the prime
minister keeps the state seal.
[15:16] Guy
Stop this at once!
[15:17] Guy
What do you perceive the power of the Empire,
of the Imperial household, to be?
[15:23] Guy
Your behavior is
unbecoming of Imperial subjects!
[15:25] Guy
You should be ashamed!
[15:27] Wolfgang
The power of the Empire, eh?
[15:29] Wolfgang
I suppose such a thing
existed once upon a time.
[15:31] Wolfgang
But in the end, power is
determined by one's capability.
[15:35] Wolfgang
Capability is not determined by power.
[15:37] Guy
It's open!
[15:41] Guy
This is it.
[15:44] Wolfgang
This is the state seal?
[15:54] Maid
What army is that, milady?
[15:57] Hilda
Armies don't just appear out of nowhere.
[16:00] Hilda
No army but Marquis Lohengramm's
could have so many people.
[16:06] Hilda
It looks like a very lively age is coming.
[16:09] Hilda
It may be a bit turbulent,
[16:12] Hilda
but that's far better
than remaining stagnant.
[16:51] Reinhard
Kircheis!
[17:12] Paul
Your Excellency, it's Oberstein.
[17:15] Paul
We've received a message from
the Imperial capital Odin.
[17:20] Reinhard
From whom?
[17:21] Paul
From your sister, Countess Grünewald.
[17:29] Reinhard
Damn you! You told her!
[17:32] Reinhard
You told my sister about Kircheis!
[17:34] Paul
Yes, I did.
[17:35] Reinhard
How dare you?!
[17:37] Paul
But you cannot remain in hiding forever.
[17:41] Reinhard
Shut up!
[17:42] Paul
Are you afraid of your sister?
[17:45] Reinhard
What?!
[17:46] Paul
If not, then please see her, Your Excellency.
[17:49] Paul
I have not yet abandoned you.
[17:52] Paul
It is admirable of you to blame yourself
[17:55] Paul
and not try to force the
responsibility onto me,
[17:59] Paul
but if you continue to look only at the past
[18:03] Paul
and refuse to face the future, then you
are truly no more of a man than that.
[18:08] Paul
The universe will fall
into someone else's hands.
[18:11] Paul
Admiral Kircheis must be
feeling ashamed in Valhalla.
[18:35] Reinhard
Sister...
[18:36] Annerose
My poor Reinhard...
[18:40] Annerose
There is no one left for
you to lose, Reinhard.
[18:47] Reinhard
No. I still have you.
[18:50] Reinhard
Don't I, Sister? I still have you, don't I?
[18:54] Annerose
Yes, the two of us now have
nothing left but each other.
[19:01] Annerose
Reinhard, I'm going to leave
the Schwarzen mansion.
[19:05] Annerose
Could you give me a small house somewhere?
[19:08] Reinhard
Sister...
[19:09] Annerose
Also, I think we should not
see each other for a while.
[19:13] Reinhard
Sister!
[19:15] Annerose
It's better that I'm not beside you.
[19:19] Annerose
We live very different lives.
[19:22] Annerose
I have nothing but the past,
[19:25] Annerose
but you have a future.
[19:29] Annerose
If you ever get tired, come see me.
[19:34] Annerose
But you must not get tired yet.
[19:40] Reinhard
I understand.
[19:42] Reinhard
If you insist, Sister,
then I'll do as you wish.
[19:47] Reinhard
I'll come for you after
I make the universe mine.
[19:51] Reinhard
But before you go, tell me one thing.
[19:57] Reinhard
Did you... love Kircheis?
[20:17] Reinhard
I'm aware of the situation.
[20:19] Reinhard
I heard from Oberstein on the day you left.
[20:23] Oskar
Yes, sir.
[20:24] Reinhard
I'm sure your achievements
will be generously rewarded.
[20:27] Reinhard
I will soon return to Odin, as well.
[20:31] Oskar
We have arrested and confined
Marquis Lichtenlade's entire family.
[20:36] Oskar
Please give us your
judgment upon your return.
[20:38] Reinhard
You don't need to wait for me to return.
[20:42] Reinhard
I'm entrusting all of you to carry
out their punishment. Understood?
[20:45] Oskar
Then what shall we do with
Marquis Lichtenlade himself?
[20:50] Reinhard
We can't execute the Imperial Prime Minister.
[20:53] Reinhard
Encourage him to commit suicide
[20:55] Reinhard
in the most painless method possible.
[20:57] Oskar
Understood.
[20:58] Oskar
And what shall we do with his family?
[21:01] Reinhard
Banish the women and
children to the frontier.
[21:04] Reinhard
Execute all men over the age of ten.
[21:08] Oskar
Understood.
[21:09] Oskar
We don't need to execute those under nine?
[21:12] Reinhard
I was ten years old when I entered school.
[21:16] Reinhard
Anyone younger than that is not fully a man,
[21:19] Reinhard
so I will spare them.
[21:21] Reinhard
If they want to try to strike me
down when they grow up, let them.
[21:25] Reinhard
It's only natural for an incompetent
supreme ruler to be overthrown.
[21:31] Reinhard
The same goes for all of you.
[21:33] Reinhard
If you have the confidence
and resolve to defeat me,
[21:36] Reinhard
you can try it at any time.
[21:41] Oskar
Surely you jest.
[21:43] Oskar
Then, I shall take my leave.
[21:45] Reinhard
You've done good work.
[21:49] Paul
Your Excellency,
[21:50] Paul
are you sure that's what you want
to do with Marquis Lichtenlade's family?
[21:54] Reinhard
I have shed a great deal of blood in my life.
[21:58] Reinhard
I will surely shed more.
[22:00] Reinhard
What will change by adding a few drops
of blood from Lichtenlade's family?
[22:07] Paul
If that is how you feel, very well.
[22:21] Na
His heart was starved.
[22:24] Na
He had lost both Kircheis and his sister.
[22:29] Na
Even if he were to become
the ruler of all humanity,
[22:32] Na
would that satisfy the desperate
hunger in his heart?
[22:36] Na
No, it would not.
[22:39] Na
This hunger in his heart could not be sated...
[22:43] Na
likely for all eternity.
[22:46] Na
But Reinhard was left with no other path.
[22:51] Na
He had no choice but to counter
the hunger in his heart
[22:56] Na
by continuing to fight, win, and conquer.
[23:01] Na
For that, he needed an enemy.
[23:04] Na
The stronger and more competent the enemy,
[23:07] Na
the more he could forget
how starved his heart was.
[23:11] Na
And in the Free Planets Alliance,
[23:14] Na
he has the strongest, most competent
enemy he could hope for.

The dissidents who threatened the principles
of the Free Planets Alliance are gone!
[00:13] Trunicht
But there is no time for mourning.
[00:17] Trunicht
Our holy war to overthrow the
Galactic Empire still continues.
[00:22] Trunicht
We are here thanks to the sacrifices of
the brave heroes who gave their lives
[00:27] Trunicht
to defend our Alliance.
[00:30] Trunicht
We must follow in their footsteps.

In order to pledge even greater freedom and

Why the hell do I have to shake
that bastard Trunicht's hand?
[02:39] Julian
It comes with your position.
[02:42] Julian
Just bear with it.
[02:43] Yang
If I knew I'd have to do this,
[02:45] Yang
I might've reconsidered winning that battle.
[02:48] Yang
There will only be more occasions like this.
[02:52] Julian
Of course, that doesn't mean
you can lose on purpose.
[02:56] Yang
No, I'll lose.
[02:58] Yang
I'll get my ass kicked.
[03:00] Yang
Then my reputation will plummet
[03:02] Yang
and no one will stop me
from leaving this job.
[03:05] Yang
I'll be free of the hell
that is court service
[03:08] Yang
and finally get to retire.
[03:10] Julian
Do you mean that?
[03:13] Yang
I do.
[03:15] Yang
I'm going to retire and live quietly
in a little house in the country.
[03:20] Yang
On cold nights, I'll listen to the
wind while enjoying some brandy.
[03:25] Yang
On rainy days, I'll spare a thought for those
raindrops' epic journey through the atmosphere
[03:30] Yang
and sip on some wine.
[03:36] Julian
You might find your own salvation
in doing so, Admiral,
[03:41] Julian
but many millions of others would go unsaved.
[03:45] Julian
That isn't what you want, is it?
[03:52] Yang
You're right.
[03:56] Frederica
Admiral, Julian.
[03:58] Frederica
It's time.
[04:01] Julian
Let's go.
[04:03] Yang
Sure.
[04:16] Yang
All people die.
[04:18] Yang
Stars don't live forever.
[04:21] Yang
Even the universe itself
will cease to exist someday.
[04:25] Yang
There's no way a country can live eternally.
[04:29] Yang
And a country that can't survive
without making massive sacrifices
[04:32] Yang
might as well die and get it
over with. No one would miss it.
[04:37] Trunicht
What's the matter? Why the troubled face?
[04:42] Trunicht
This is a joyous day for our homeland.
[04:45] Trunicht
We should both keep smiling
[04:47] Trunicht
to ensure we show our gratitude to
the citizens, the true sovereigns.
[04:54] Doumec
Now, Mr. Yang, representing our military,
[04:57] Doumec

[05:33] Julian
Why don't you just forget about it already?
[05:35] Yang
Believe me, I wish I could.
[05:39] Yang
Still... I never thought I'd
have to shake Trunicht's hand.
[05:45] Julian
Allow me to commend you on your service.
[05:49] Yang
Seeing all those people from up on
that ceremonial stage made me think...
[05:55] Yang
Just what is a democracy that gives a man
like Trunicht the legitimate right to rule?
[06:01] Yang
What kind of citizenry would continue
to support a man like that?
[06:06] Julian
Did you find an answer?
[06:10] Yang
Even I was stunned by the things
that came to my mind then.
[06:14] Yang
Rudolf von Goldenbaum, in the past,
[06:17] Yang
as well as the National Salvation Military
Council guys behind the coup d'état,
[06:22] Yang
must have been convinced that their actions
were the only way to save the people.
[06:27] Yang
Frankly, it's a complete paradox,
[06:30] Yang
but what made Rudolf a treacherous despot
[06:33] Yang
was his sense of responsibility and
obligation toward all humanity.
[06:40] Julian
Do you think Chairman Trunicht feels
such responsibility or obligation?
[06:46] Yang
I couldn't say.
[06:48] Yang
It doesn't seem like it, though.
[06:51] Yang
Anyway, I'm too tired to think
about him any more today.
[06:56] Julian
Of course. You should go to bed early.
[07:00] Julian
I'll take care of the remaining paperwork.
[07:03] Yang
Thanks.
[07:05] Julian
Not at all.
[07:11] Yang
Trunicht might be like a malignant
cancer to our society.
[07:17] Yang
He devours healthy cells
and keeps multiplying
[07:20] Yang
until society, his host, ultimately dies.
[07:25] Yang
If that's the case, it's truly a nightmare.
[07:31] Julian
Yes?
[07:32] Julian
What? Really?!
[07:34] Julian
Understood! I'll inform him at once!
[07:36] Julian
Admiral!
[07:38] Yang
Why all the excitement?
[07:40] Yang
There's nothing in this world worth
getting excited or yelling about.
[07:45] Julian
But...
[07:47] Julian
You know Admiral Merkatz, don't you?
[07:50] Yang
He's a well-known Imperial Navy admiral.
[07:52] Yang
He's not as grand or glamorous
as Marquis Lohengramm,
[07:56] Yang
but he's experienced and shows no weakness.
[07:58] Yang
I hear he's quite popular, too.
[08:00] Yang
So, what about him?
[08:03] Julian
Well, that well-known
Imperial Navy admiral has defected!
[08:07] Julian
Admiral Yang, he has requested your help!
[08:10] Yang
What?!
SIGN Iserlohn Fortress
[08:19] Alex
First of all, we'll need you
to leave your weapons here.
[08:22] Schneider
What?! Insolence!
[08:25] Schneider
Admiral Merkatz is not a war prisoner!
[08:27] Schneider
He has defected here of his own free will!
[08:30] Schneider
And you demand he give up his weapons?
[08:34] Schneider
Is it not proper etiquette
to treat him as a guest?!
[08:37] Schneider
Or does nothing resembling etiquette
exist in the Free Planets Alliance?!
[08:45] Alex
My apologies.
[08:47] Alex
Please forgive my rudeness.
[08:52] Murai
And now he's being treated
as a guest of honor, I hear.
[08:57] Murai
I find it all a bit hard to believe.
[09:01] Yang
Did Admiral Merkatz flee
along with his family?
[09:04] Murai
No, his family remains in the Empire.
[09:09] Yang
I see. That's fine, then.
[09:11] Murai
No, it is not.
[09:13] Murai
The fact that his family
remains in the Empire
[09:16] Murai
essentially means that he's
left potential hostages behind.
[09:19] Murai
Is it not natural to believe that he came
here with some unsavory goal in mind?
[09:25] Yang
No, I don't think it is.
[09:27] Yang
If he wanted to deceive me from the start,
[09:29] Yang
he wouldn't have admitted to
leaving his family behind.
[09:32] Yang
It's more likely he'd bring a fake
family who could act as observers.
[09:37] Yang
Am I right, Commander Baghdash?
[09:41] Baghdash
Well, that sounds about right.
[09:44] Baghdash
Admiral Merkatz is a true military man.
[09:47] Baghdash
I doubt he'd have anything to do
with things like spying or sabotage.
[09:51] Baghdash
I think you can trust him.
SIGN Sounds like we'll trust him a lot faster than we trusted you.
[09:58] Baghdash
Hey, that's harsh, Commodore Schönkopf.
[10:04] Yang
Well, at any rate, I'm choosing
to trust Admiral Merkatz.
[10:09] Yang
And I will protect his rights
to the best of my ability.
[10:14] Yang
A veteran admiral of the Empire has
turned to me for help, after all.
[10:20] Yang
I have to reciprocate his favor.
[10:23] Murai
You're absolutely certain
you want to do this?
[10:26] Yang
Yes. I'm weak against flattery, you know.
[10:29] Yang
Lieutenant, put me through
to Iserlohn immediately.
[10:33] Frederica
Yes, sir.
[10:40] Yang
You are Admiral Merkatz, correct?
[10:42] Merkatz
I am.
[10:44] Yang
I am Yang Wen-li.
[10:46] Yang
It's truly a pleasure to meet you.
[10:48] Merkatz
Likewise.
[10:50] Merkatz
This fallen admiral is
hereby in your service.
[10:53] Merkatz
I only ask that you show
leniency to my subordinates.
[10:59] Yang
Very well.
[11:01] Yang
It seems you have some
fine men working for you.
[11:03] Yang
In any case, I will be happy to accept them.
[11:07] Yang
You needn't worry.
[11:08] Merkatz
I thank you for your kindness.
[11:11] Yang
Well, that will be all.
[11:13] Merkatz
Yes, sir.
[11:18] Merkatz
Your advice was not in error.
[11:21] Merkatz
Admiral Yang seems to be a trustworthy man.
[11:25] Schneider
Yes, sir.
[11:26] Na
Yang kept his promise
[11:28] Na
and did all he could to protect
the rights of Merkatz and his men.
[11:32] Na
In response, the Alliance
government gave Merkatz
[11:36] Na
the status of "guest admiral"
[11:39] Na
and appointed him as advisor to
the Iserlohn Fortress commander.
[11:46] Doumec
The matter of Admiral Merkatz

but the problem is Yang Wen-li.

SIGN Council Member Irons
SIGN Council Member Kaplan
[12:04] Irons
An undefeated hero, and a
young bachelor to boot...
[12:09] Irons
If he retired and went into politics,
[12:11] Irons
he's almost guaranteed to earn
enough votes to win any election.
[12:15] Negroponte
Just because he's a hero on the battlefield
SIGN Council Member Negroponte
[12:17] Negroponte
doesn't mean he has the talent
to succeed in politics.
[12:22] Doumec
Still, many people would
be drawn to his reputation.
[12:27] Doumec
If that happened,
regardless of his capability,
[12:30] Doumec
he would be a force too potent to ignore.
[12:33] Negroponte
Before the Battle of the Doria Starzone,
[12:35] Negroponte
he stood before every officer
and soldier in his navy and said
[12:39] Negroponte
that the rise and fall of a
nation was trivial in comparison
[12:43] Negroponte
to the people's rights and freedoms.
[12:45] Negroponte
That's dangerous ideology.
[12:47] Negroponte
He's basically saying that as long as
individual rights and freedoms are protected,
[12:51] Negroponte
it wouldn't matter if the Alliance
was replaced by the Empire.
[12:56] Irons
You have to be a bit suspicious
of his loyalty toward his nation.
[13:17] Negroponte
Yang has made problematic
statements at every turn.
[13:22] Negroponte
If prompted, I'm sure
he would make many more.
[13:25] Trunicht
Admiral Yang's talents are
a necessity to the Alliance.
[13:29] Trunicht
So long as the Empire is our enemy, that is.
[13:33] Trunicht
Unless it's something
that could prove lethal,
[13:35] Trunicht
we may need to tolerate
some of the things he says.
[13:38] Trunicht
Still, there's no need to panic.
[13:42] Trunicht
Let's just keep an eye on
how things progress for now.
[13:47] Konev
I heard about Admiral Merkatz.
[13:50] Dusty
Yeah. Admiral Yang's really happy about it.
[13:53] Dusty
He's been named a vice admiral for now,
[13:56] Dusty
but he'll probably be formally
named an admiral eventually.
[13:59] Poplin
The Alliance's head honchos sure
are hospitable toward defectors.
[14:04] Poplin
Even after everything our fleet accomplished,
[14:07] Poplin
Admiral Yang is still stuck
at the rank of admiral,
[14:10] Poplin
leaving basically no chance of
his men being promoted, either.
[14:13] Dusty
Chief Dawson and Commander-in-Chief
Bewcock are admirals, as well.
[14:17] Dusty
Admiral Yang is below them, so he
can't be promoted to fleet admiral.
[14:22] Poplin
You think he's really satisfied with that?
[14:25] Dusty
Oh, please.
[14:26] Dusty
He was never interested in that
sort of thing to begin with.
SIGN Oh, really? So you're a petty officer second class now, Julian?
[14:35] Julian
Congratulations on your promotion,
as well, Rear Admiral Schönkopf.
SIGN Thanks.
SIGN But I heard a rumor that Admiral Dawson promoted only me
SIGN as part of a plot to put a crack in our fleet's unity.
SIGN But Chief Cubersly returned to his post,
SIGN so I suppose it'll be fine.
[14:56] Julian
Actually...
[14:58] Julian
I heard that my promotion resulted from a
direct intervention by Chairman Trunicht...
[15:04] Julian
so I can't feel truly happy about it.
SIGN Listen, Julian.
SIGN The military is overrun with the agendas of many different people.
SIGN Those agendas have direct effects on us sometimes.
SIGN But you can't let every little thing like that get to you.
SIGN We just have to focus on the good that comes of it.
SIGN Understand?
[15:29] Julian
I understand. I'll try
to think of it that way.
[15:32] Yang
Hey, Julian.
[15:34] Yang
I haven't recognized you as a soldier yet.
SIGN Your Excellency, what do you think Julian is holding?
SIGN Do you have the right to say that to someone who's been given all those?
[15:51] Yang
Julian.
[15:52] Yang
Toss those into your locker or wherever.
[15:55] Julian
Yes, sir...
[15:56] Yang
You can use the box as a

I'm going down to Heinessen for a bit.
SIGN Then I'll come as your guard.
[16:04] Julian
I'll accompany you, as well.
[16:06] Yang
No.
[16:07] Yang
I'll go by myself today.
[16:10] Yang

[17:30] Na
In October of the year IC 488,

Reinhard von Lohengramm was
promoted to the status of duke.
[17:39] Na
And in addition to the title of
Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy,
[17:44] Na
he was also named the
Imperial Prime Minister,
[17:46] Na
giving him complete supremacy in
both politics and the military.
[17:52] Na
Thus the dictatorship of

[18:17] Reinhard
I'll be fine from here.
[18:19] Guy
Yes, sir.
[19:22] Na
The late Siegfried Kircheis

Minister of Military Affairs,
[19:32] Na
Supreme Command Headquarters
Chief, Space Fleet Commander,
[19:36] Na
Acting Supreme Commander
of the Imperial Navy,
[19:40] Na
and Acting Imperial Prime Minister.
[19:44] Na
Still, no matter what worldly glory he possessed,
[19:48] Na
he could never repay his
red-haired friend's devotion.
[19:52] Na
With this in mind,
[19:54] Na
the inscription Reinhard chose for
Kircheis's gravestone was simple and concise:
[19:59] Na
just two words,
"My Friend," and nothing more.
[20:25] Na
The year UC 797,
[20:28] Na
or the 488th year of the Imperial Calendar,
[20:30] Na
was an unusual year for a
long-divided human society
[20:34] Na
in that the two nations did
not meet each other in battle.
[20:38] Na
But whether the winners of the internal
disputes that occurred in each nation
[20:42] Na
were satisfied with their victories
or not is another story.
[20:48] Na
One of them made great gains,
but also lost something precious.
[20:54] Na
The other gained new allies,
but felt new dangers at his back.
[21:01] Na
In this year, Reinhard von
Lohengramm was 21 years old,
[21:05] Na
and Yang Wen-li was 30.
[21:09] Na
Both were at an age where the future
held more for them than the past.

[23:02] Bishop
Rubinsky's performance in this
battle was not at all satisfactory.
[23:09] Bishop
That much is certain.
[23:11] De Villie
It is worse than that, Your Lordship.
[23:14] De Villie
In fact, I sense a lack of enthusiasm in him.
[23:17] De Villie
I believe he has forgotten our cause
to seek his own self-interests.
SIGN Archbishop De Villie
[23:21] De Villie
If this continues for another
two years, or three...
[23:25] Bishop
Be calm.
[23:27] Bishop
Look.
[23:31] Bishop
Even now, the sun rejoices in life.
[23:35] Bishop
But what of its child, our Earth?
[23:39] Bishop
The trees wither, the soil loses its nutrients,
[23:42] Bishop
and birds are long gone from the
skies, as are fish from the seas.
[23:47] Bishop
The human race has abandoned
its mother planet
[23:51] Bishop
to race among the stars like fools,
battling itself to the death.
[23:56] Bishop
But this will not last much longer.
[23:59] Bishop
The homeland of mankind will return,
[24:02] Bishop
and history will once more
begin here, with our Earth.
[24:06] Bishop
We have already waited for eight centuries.
[24:10] Bishop
What is another two or three years?
[24:14] Bishop
For now, let us give
Rubinsky a bit more time.
[24:18] Bishop
If he should abandon his
mother planet, Earth,
[24:22] Bishop
he will depart on a journey to
another dimension known as death.
[24:26] De Villie
Indeed.
[24:28] Bishop
It is not as if no progress has been made.
SIGN Earth Cult Grand Bishop
[24:31] Bishop
One of the men in power has
already fallen into our hands.
[24:36] Bishop
The other will soon do the same.
[24:40] Bishop
It will not belong before the ideals
of the Earth Cult are realized.
