[00:12] Remscheid
    What?
[00:14] Remscheid
    The Free Planets Alliance is planning an
    all-out offensive against the Empire?
[00:21] Rubinsky
    It seems their capture of Iserlohn,
    the Empire's pride and joy,
[00:24] Rubinsky
    has incited the Alliance's drive to fight.
[00:30] Remscheid
    It is true that the insurgents now
    possess the bridgehead of Iserlohn,
SIGN    Galactic Empire High Commissioner
    Jochen von Remscheid
[00:35] Remscheid
    but surely that doesn't mean they'll
    launch an all-out advance right away.
[00:40] Rubinsky
    But it is clear that the Alliance is making
    preparations for a large-scale attack.
[00:46] Remscheid
    How large-scale?
[00:49] Rubinsky
    Thirty million men.
[01:08] Dominique
    He seemed rather panicked.
[01:11] Rubinsky
    That information was beyond a mere high
    commissioner's capacity to handle.
[01:15] Rubinsky
    He'll have no choice but to
    request instructions from Odin.
[01:18] Dominique
    How malicious you are.
[01:21] Dominique
    When you received similar information in
    the past, you didn't tell him, did you?
[01:26] Rubinsky
    You mean when Iserlohn was attacked?
[01:29] Rubinsky
    I just never expected that
    campaign to succeed.
[01:32] Rubinsky
    I was interested in seeing how
    they would go about doing it.
[01:36] Rubinsky
    But now that Iserlohn has
    fallen, things are different.
[01:40] Rubinsky
    The balance in this war has
    shifted toward the Alliance,
[01:43] Rubinsky
    and we need to shift it back in
    the Empire's direction a bit.
[01:47] Dominique
    You're enjoying this.
[01:49] Rubinsky
    Does it look that way?
[01:52] Dominique
    It does.
[01:54] Rubinsky
    There are many ways to enrich one's life,
[01:57] Rubinsky
    but nothing is more stimulating than using
    whole nations and the very fate of humans
[02:03] Rubinsky
    as intangible chips in a game
    of politics and strategy.
[02:06] Rubinsky
    Elaborately refined machinations
    are an art form.
[02:11] Dominique
    Unbelievable. You're calling
    yourself an artist?
[02:15] Rubinsky
    Please. It's not just me.
[02:18] Rubinsky
    There's no doubt that the one
    to meet the Alliance's attack
[02:23] Rubinsky
    will be Count Reinhard Lohengramm.
[02:26] Rubinsky
    I need him to win, but not
    by too much this time.
[02:31] Rubinsky
    I need both sides to keep fighting and
    wounding each other for as long as possible.
SIGN    Legend of the Galactic Heroes
SIGN    Galactic Empire Capital Planet Odin
[04:13] Klaus
    We've received word from
    Count Remscheid of Fezzan.
[04:17] Klaus
    It seems the rebels are planning
    to invade Imperial territory...
SIGN    Minister of State and Acting Prime Minister of the Galactic Empire
    Klaus von Lichtenlade
[04:21] Klaus
    with approximately thirty million men.
[04:24] Gerlach
    Thirty million?
    That sounds extremely serious.
SIGN    Galactic Empire Minister of Finance
    Viscount Gerlach
[04:27] Klaus
    It is.
[04:29] Klaus
    But it could also be called an opportunity.
[04:32] Gerlach
    How do you mean?
[04:33] Klaus
    We need to fight and win.
[04:38] Klaus
    I'm told that a revolutionary sentiment
    is growing among the commoners again.
[04:43] Klaus
    It appears they're beginning to
    figure out that we lost Iserlohn.
[04:47] Klaus
    We must defeat the rebels and restore
    the dignity of the Imperial household.
[04:52] Gerlach
    Should we not allow the
    blond boy to handle that?
[04:57] Klaus
    If he succeeds, his popularity
    will grow even greater,
[05:01] Klaus
    and we will no longer
    be able to oppose him.
[05:05] Klaus
    But if he fails, we'll be forced to fight
    the rebels at a tremendous disadvantage,
[05:13] Klaus
    right in the middle of the Empire,
[05:15] Klaus
    against a force of thirty
    million men high on victory.
[05:18] Gerlach
    The blond boy is not
    completely incompetent.
[05:22] Gerlach
    Even if the rebels defeat him,
    they won't come out of it unscathed.
[05:26] Gerlach
    We only need to be strong enough to
    face them when they're wounded.
[05:33] Klaus
    I see...
[05:34] Klaus
    That will be fine if the boy
    loses, but what if he wins?
[05:38] Klaus
    He'll earn the kaiser's favor and the
    credit for another heroic feat,
[05:42] Klaus
    and he'll be beyond our control.
[05:44] Klaus
    He'll grow even more arrogant.
[05:47] Gerlach
    Why don't we let him be arrogant?
[05:50] Gerlach
    We can deal with a single upstart anytime.
[05:56] Gerlach
    When the rebels are gone,
    the blond boy is done for.
[06:01] Gerlach
    So long as we need him,
[06:03] Gerlach
    why not make use of his talent?
SIGN    Free Planets Alliance Integrated Tactical Operations Center
[06:16] Sithole
    Rear Admiral Caselnes,
    the chief of logistics,
SIGN    Free Planets Alliance Integrated Tactical Operations Center Chief
    Fleet Admiral Sidney Sithole
[06:20] Sithole
    will now go over the formation
    of our expeditionary force.
[06:23] Alex
    Yes, sir.
[06:24] Alex
    First, the supreme commander of the force
SIGN    Free Planets Alliance Space Fleet Commander-in-Chief
    Fleet Admiral Lassalle Lobos
[06:27] Alex
    will be the Space Fleet commander-in-chief,
    Fleet Admiral Lassalle Lobos.
SIGN    Free Planets Alliance
    Integrated Tactical Operations Center Vice Chief
    Admiral Dwight Greenhill
[06:32] Alex
    The chief of staff will be
    Admiral Dwight Greenhill.
SIGN    Expeditionary Force Chief of Operations
    Vice Admiral Konev
[06:35] Alex
    The chief of operations will be Vice Admiral
    Konev, with three staff officers.
[06:38] Alex
    The chief of intelligence will be Rear
    Admiral Birolinen, with two staff officers.
SIGN    Expeditionary Force Chief of Intelligence
    Rear Admiral Birolinen
[06:42] Alex
    And the chief of logistics will be
    myself, with one staff officer.
SIGN    Free Planets Alliance
    Integrated Tactical Operations Center Deputy Adjutant General
    Rear Admiral Alex Caselnes
[06:45] Alex
    Next, eight new space fleets will be
    added to the force as combat units.
[06:49] Alex
    Vice Admiral Lefebvre will
    command the 3rd Fleet.
[06:52] Alex
    Vice Admiral Bewcock will
    command the 5th Fleet.
[06:55] Alex
    Vice Admiral Hawood will
    command the 7th Fleet.
[06:57] Alex
    Vice Admiral Appleton will
    command the 8th Fleet.
[07:00] Alex
    Vice Admiral al-Salem will
    command the 9th Fleet.
[07:03] Alex
    Vice Admiral Ulanhu will
    command the 10th Fleet.
[07:06] Alex
    Vice Admiral Borodin will
    command the 12th Fleet.
[07:08] Alex
    And Vice Admiral Yang will
    command the 13th Fleet.
[07:12] Alex
    These, in addition to independent units,
[07:15] Alex
    will bring the force's
    total to 30,227,400 men.
[07:23] Yang
    Thirty million is about 60%
    of our entire navy...
[07:27] Yang
    Good grief. It's overwhelming.
SIGN    Episode 10
SIGN    Interlude
[07:36] Yang
    Maybe the price we paid for Iserlohn
    wasn't high enough...
[07:41] Julian
    Did you say something, Admiral?
[07:44] Yang
    Hm? Oh...
[07:46] Yang
    It's said that military victory has
    an effect similar to a narcotic.
[07:50] Yang
    Both the people and the press are openly
    calling for an invasion of the Empire.
[07:55] Julian
    In keeping with our current
    momentum, I suppose?
[07:58] Yang
    But just think about it.
[08:01] Yang
    If the fall of Iserlohn had shed the blood
    of thousands... no, hundreds of thousands,
[08:07] Yang
    how would you and everyone else feel then?
[08:10] Julian
    Well, they wouldn't have
    an appetite for more war.
[08:14] Yang
    But they didn't.
[08:16] Yang
    They got the idea in their heads
    that victory comes easy.
[08:20] Yang
    Ouch...
[08:22] Yang
    If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't
    have taken that kind of victory.
[08:26] Julian
    But didn't it end up that way because you did
    everything possible to minimize casualties?
[08:32] Yang
    And the result of that is this
    completely unjustifiable expedition.
[08:37] Julian
    They why was this reckless
    plan proposed to begin with?
[08:45] Yang
    Because elections are coming up.
[08:47] Julian
    Huh?
[08:49] Yang
    There have been a lot of scandals
    within the Alliance lately.
[08:52] Yang
    The government needs to divert the
    people's attention elsewhere.
[08:57] Julian
    But that's...
[08:59] Yang
    Just for the sake of staying
    in for another four years,
[09:02] Yang
    they send thirty million
    men to the battlefield.
[09:06] Yang
    I can't understand that
    kind of thinking at all.
[09:13] Sithole
    Gentlemen,
[09:15] Sithole
    the decision to take our forces
    into Imperial territory
[09:17] Sithole
    was made by the high commissioner,
    and it is final.
[09:20] Sithole
    But no specific plan of action
    has been established yet.
[09:24] Sithole
    This meeting has been
    called to decide that.
[09:27] Sithole
    I look forward to a lively discussion.
[09:30] Falk
    Chief, if I may.
[09:32] Falk
    I am Commodore Falk,
    an operations staff officer.
[09:35] Falk
    I believe this expedition is...
SIGN    Expeditionary Force Operations Staff Officer
    Commodore Andrew Falk
[09:37] Falk
    the most ambitious undertaking
    in the Alliance's history.
[09:40] Falk
    I can think of no greater honor than to
    participate in it as a staff officer.
[09:53] Yang
    He must be the one the chief
    was talking about...
[09:56] Ulanhu
    I have a question for Your Excellency.
SIGN    10th Fleet Commander
    Vice Admiral Ulanhu
[09:59] Ulanhu
    As soldiers, we will go anywhere
    we are ordered to go.
[10:03] Ulanhu
    We are even more glad to depart
    if it means striking the heart
[10:07] Ulanhu
    of the Goldenbaum Dynasty itself.
[10:09] Ulanhu
    But before we endeavor to undertake
    such a large-scale invasion,
[10:13] Ulanhu
    I would like to know the strategic
    purpose of this expedition.
[10:17] Lobos
    Operations Staff Officer,
    if you would explain.
[10:19] Falk
    Yes, sir.
[10:20] Falk
    We will advance deep into Imperial
    territory with a massive force.
[10:25] Falk
    That alone should strike terror into
    the hearts of the Imperial soldiers.
[10:30] Ulanhu
    Are you saying we'll retreat
    without even fighting?
[10:32] Falk
    I believe we should maintain a high degree
[10:35] Falk
    of flexibility and adapt to
    the situation as it unfolds.
[10:38] Ulanhu
    That's far too abstract.
[10:41] Bewcock
    Doesn't that mean we'd basically
    be playing it by ear?
SIGN    5th Fleet Commander
    Vice Admiral Bewcock
[10:47] Lobos
    The scale of this operation is unprecedented
    in the history of the Alliance.
[10:51] Lobos
    There's no doubt that such
    an ambitious operation
[10:55] Lobos
    will give hope to Imperial citizens and lead
    to an overthrow of its tyrannical government.
[10:59] Falk
    Thank you, Commander-in-Chief.
[11:02] Yang
    I'd like to hear the reason for
    invading at this particular time.
[11:07] Falk
    In battle, there is always
    an opportune time to act.
[11:10] Yang
    You're saying right now is the opportune
    time for an offensive against the Empire?
[11:16] Falk
    A grand offensive, Rear Admiral Yang.
[11:24] Falk
    The Imperial Navy is in a state of
    confusion after the loss of Iserlohn.
[11:29] Falk
    With a gigantic Alliance fleet attacking
    in a massive line,
[11:32] Falk
    under the banner of freedom and justice,
[11:35] Falk
    how can it end in anything
    but victory for us?
[11:37] Yang
    But this formation takes us too
    deep into enemy territory.
[11:41] Yang
    Advancing in such a long line will hinder
    the distribution of supplies, as well.
[11:45] Yang
    Plus, if the enemy were to strike from the
    side, they could divide our forces easily.
[11:51] Falk
    I fail to understand why you only
    emphasize the risk of being divided.
[11:55] Falk
    Any enemy that enters the center of our
    formation will be caught in a pincer attack
[11:59] Falk
    between our front and rear
    forces, crushing them.
[12:01] Bewcock
    Wait a moment.
    Vice Admiral Yang has a point.
[12:05] Bewcock
    Do you want to repeat the grave
    mistake we made at Astarte,
[12:07] Bewcock
    when we gave up a chance
    at a concentrated attack
[12:09] Bewcock
    and our fleets were destroyed one by one?
[12:12] Falk
    Such an idea could only come from
[12:13] Falk
    a noted tactician such as yourself,
    Vice Admiral Bewcock.
[12:16] Bewcock
    What do you mean by that?
[12:17] Falk
    Strategically speaking, if not tactically,
    that battle was not a defeat.
[12:23] Falk
    Ultimately, our forces
    expelled the Imperial Navy
[12:26] Falk
    and stopped them from invading the
    Astarte Starzone, did it not?
[12:30] Bewcock
    What did you say?
[12:32] Falk
    This operation itself has a
    very different significance.
[12:36] Falk
    We will be the liberating force that saves
    the oppressed people of the Empire.
[12:43] Alex
    May I?
[12:44] Sithole
    Rear Admiral Caselnes.
[12:46] Alex
    As the logistics chief,
[12:48] Alex
    I have misgivings with regard
    to keeping our navy supplied.
[12:52] Alex
    Having a long supply line
[12:54] Alex
    on top of managing the territory
    we occupy as a liberating force
[12:57] Alex
    will quickly lead to a supply shortage.
[13:00] Lobos
    Even if our supplies are delayed a bit,
[13:02] Lobos
    could we not simply have the people of
    the territory we occupy supply us?
[13:06] Alex
    But I can't calculate such a possibility
    into a supply plan...
[13:10] Lobos
    It's your job to figure something out.
[13:13] Yang
    But...
[13:14] Yang
    The Imperial Navy will most likely be
    under the command of Count Lohengramm.
[13:19] Yang
    Taking his military talent into account,
[13:22] Yang
    I don't think we can be too careful
    in formulating our strategy.
[13:27] Greenhill
    Rear Admiral, I understand that you
    hold Count Lohengramm in high regard.
[13:33] Greenhill
    But he is still young.
    He's bound to make mistakes.
[13:37] Yang
    Yes, of course.
[13:39] Yang
    But in the end,
    victory and defeat are relative.
[13:42] Yang
    If we were to make a bigger
    mistake than he does,
[13:45] Yang
    it's clear what the result would be.
[13:48] Falk
    That is mere speculation,
    Rear Admiral Yang.
[13:52] Falk
    To overestimate an enemy and
    fear him more than necessary
[13:55] Falk
    is the greatest disgrace
    a soldier could commit.
[13:57] Falk
    Worse yet, if it dampens
    your own navy's morale
[14:00] Falk
    and dulls its decisions and actions,
[14:03] Falk
    it only gives the enemy an advantage.
[14:06] Bewcock
    Commodore Falk,
    that comment was disrespectful!
[14:10] Falk
    How so?
[14:12] Bewcock
    How dare you accuse someone of
    aiding the enemy just because
[14:16] Bewcock
    they disagree with your opinion
    and advise caution?!
[14:19] Falk
    I was only speaking in general terms.
[14:22] Falk
    It upsets me tremendously
    that you would conceive it
[14:25] Falk
    as slander against an individual.
[14:27] Falk
    This expedition is a noble undertaking
    to rescue and set free
[14:31] Falk
    the 25 billion people of the
    Galactic Empire who are suffering
[14:35] Falk
    under the oppression of a
    tyrannical government.
[14:38] Falk
    If we act as a liberating army in
    the name of the greater good,
[14:42] Falk
    the people of the Empire will
    welcome us with jubilation,
[14:45] Falk
    and they will assist us voluntarily.
[14:48] Falk
    Any who oppose this...
[14:48] Yang
    What he's saying is the speculation here.
[14:51] Yang
    It's just a one-sided expectation.
[14:53] Yang
    What makes him say the people
    of the Galactic Empire
[14:56] Yang
    desire the illusion of freedom and
    equality rather than real peace?
[15:00] Yang
    The idea of this expedition itself
    is irresponsible enough,
[15:03] Yang
    but its execution is proving to
    be irresponsible in extremes.
[15:06] (Flashback) Julian
    They should just not do it.
[15:09] (Flashback) Julian
    Even if the government ordered
    it, it's too reckless.
[15:13] (Flashback) Yang
    The politicians in our government
    were legitimately elected
[15:17] (Flashback) Yang
    by the thirteen billion
    citizens of the Alliance.
[15:20] (Flashback) Yang
    No matter how reckless it is,
    we can't just not do it.
[15:27] (Flashback) Yang
    Not as long as we're a free
    military in a free country.
[15:36] Falk
    ...a geographical advantage or
    greater numbers than ours,
[15:38] Falk
    or even if they have some
    unimaginable new weapon,
[15:41] Falk
    we cannot let such things discourage us.
[15:58] Sithole
    I didn't think this through enough, either.
[16:01] Sithole
    I thought that if we took Iserlohn,
[16:03] Sithole
    the raging fires of war
    would begin to recede.
[16:06] Sithole
    I brought this upon myself,
[16:09] Sithole
    but I'm sure it's a tremendous
    hassle for you.
[16:13] Sithole
    Let me just say this now.
[16:16] Sithole
    I want this expedition to fail
    with minimal casualties.
[16:22] Sithole
    An overwhelming defeat would
    cause too much bloodshed,
[16:25] Sithole
    but what happens if we win?
[16:27] Sithole
    The war advocates get cocky,
[16:29] Sithole
    and they end up beyond the control
    of the people and the government.
[16:33] Sithole
    Eventually, riots break out,
[16:35] Sithole
    and the country hits rock bottom.
[16:38] Sithole
    There have been countless
    countries that fell to ruin
[16:40] Sithole
    because they won when they needed to win.
[16:44] Sithole
    I'm sure you know all about that.
[16:48] Yang
    Yes.
[16:49] Sithole
    You have contempt for both
    authority and military might.
[16:52] Sithole
    I can't blame you, but no nation can
    exist without the influence of both.
[16:57] Sithole
    So instead of someone
    incompetent and corrupt,
[17:00] Sithole
    we ought to entrust those things to
    people who aren't that way
[17:02] Sithole
    and follow our conscience and good
    sense in making use of them.
[17:09] Sithole
    I'm a soldier, so I can't say
    much about the government,
[17:12] Sithole
    but as far as the military goes...
[17:15] Sithole
    That Commodore Falk...
[17:17] Sithole
    is a man who can't be trusted.
[17:21] Sithole
    He's pushing this operation
    in hopes of being promoted.
[17:25] Sithole
    He probably wants to reach the
    highest rank the military has,
[17:29] Sithole
    but since he has a rival who's too strong,
[17:32] Sithole
    he wants to do whatever he can
    to accomplish something great.
[17:35] Yang
    I see.
[17:37] Sithole
    You can be so dense sometimes.
[17:40] Yang
    Huh?
[17:41] Sithole
    The rival I was talking about was you.
[17:44] Yang
    But Chief, I'm...
[17:47] Sithole
    It doesn't matter what
    you think of yourself.
[17:51] Sithole
    The issue is what Falk thinks of you.
[17:54] Sithole
    You saw at today's meeting
    what kind of person he is.
[17:58] Sithole
    He'd rather display his talent through
    words than accomplishments,
[18:01] Sithole
    and he'll denigrate others to
    make himself look better.
[18:05] Sithole
    But he's not as talented
    as he thinks he is.
[18:09] Sithole
    It's far too dangerous to entrust the
    fates of thirty million men to him.
[18:14] Sithole
    I think you understand by now why
    I rejected your resignation.
[18:18] Sithole
    I didn't foresee this specifically,
[18:21] Sithole
    but your presence in this navy
    just became even more necessary.
[18:29] Yang
    Are you telling me to
    oppose Commodore Falk?
[18:34] Sithole
    Not just him. If you earn the
    highest rank in this navy,
[18:38] Sithole
    it'll be possible to restrict
    and eliminate people like him.
[18:43] Sithole
    That's what I want to see happen.
[18:49] Yang
    You always give me tasks that are
    far too heavy a burden to bear.
[18:54] Sithole
    No one but you can do it.
[18:56] Yang
    I still consider myself a man of virtue.
[18:59] Yang
    I don't want to involve
    myself in any trouble.
[19:02] Yang
    I just want to do a job I'm capable of,
[19:05] Yang
    and then live an easy life.
[19:08] Yang
    Is that a lazy way to think?
[19:10] Sithole
    Yes, it's lazy.
[19:19] Sithole
    I've been through some pretty
    rough times myself.
[19:23] Sithole
    If I'm going to entrust all this to you,
[19:26] Sithole
    I need you to go through rough times
    in proportion to your talent.
[19:30] Sithole
    It'd be unfair otherwise.
[19:34] Yang
    Unfair, eh?
[19:37] Sithole
    Sorry to keep you. Let's go.

[19:54] Reinhard
    As I'm sure you're all aware,
[19:56] Reinhard
    the insurgents of the frontier who call
    themselves the Free Planets Alliance
[20:00] Reinhard
    have hijacked and occupied the
    Imperial outpost of Iserlohn.
[20:05] Reinhard
    We have reports that the enemy is
    amassing an enormous force there.
[20:11] Reinhard
    We estimate that they have two hundred
    thousand ships and thirty million men.
[20:16] Reinhard
    They are planning to advance
    toward the center of the Empire
[20:20] Reinhard
    and launch an all-out attack.
[20:22] Reinhard
    In response to this incredibly
    troublesome act of rashness,
[20:25] Reinhard
    I have been tasked with intercepting them.
[20:28] Reinhard
    I'm expecting the Imperial
    order at any time.
[20:30] Reinhard
    I hope you will all put up a brave fight.
[20:34] Reinhard
    In short, all the other fleets are just
    ornamental puppets of the Imperial Palace.
[20:39] Reinhard
    They can't be relied upon.
[20:42] Reinhard
    This is a good opportunity to rise in
    the ranks and earn some decorations.
[20:52] Reinhard
    Now, I'd like to hear your opinions.
[20:55] Reinhard
    Tell me how you think we should
    intercept the insurgents.
[20:58] Reinhard
    Hold nothing back.
[21:00] Fritz
    We strike the moment they
    exit the Iserlohn Corridor.
[21:03] Fritz
    There can be no better strategy.
[21:05] Wolfgang
    He's right. We can determine
    where they'll appear from,
[21:09] Wolfgang
    then either form a half-encirclement
    or strike head-on.
[21:13] Fritz
    The insurgents will turn tail and run before
    they get an inch into Imperial territory.
[21:18] Reinhard
    I like your spirit.
[21:21] Reinhard
    But the enemy will expect us to intercept
    them as they exit the corridor.
[21:25] Reinhard
    It's likely they'll put their
    best men at the front.
[21:28] Reinhard
    If we attack them and the rest
    never exit the corridor,
[21:32] Reinhard
    we'll have no chance to
    launch an offensive.
[21:39] Wolfgang
    An offensive...
[21:41] Wolfgang
    Are you saying that just forcing the
    insurgents to retreat won't be enough?
[21:46] Reinhard
    Obviously.
[21:47] Reinhard
    Foolhardiness should be rewarded with
    bloodshed in equal proportions.
[21:52] Fritz
    But how?
[21:55] Reinhard
    We'll draw the enemy deeper
    into our territory.
[21:59] Fritz
    You're saying we should allow the insurgents
    to tread on Imperial territory?!
[22:03] Reinhard
    Yes.
[22:05] Reinhard
    Once their combat line and supply line
    have been stretched to their limits,
[22:08] Reinhard
    we'll launch an all-out attack.
[22:10] Reinhard
    The enemy will send at least 60% of
    its total forces to this battle.
[22:13] Reinhard
    We will annihilate all of them
[22:16] Reinhard
    and completely crush their rebellious will.
[22:23] Reinhard
    Oberstein.
[22:24] Paul
    Yes, sir.
[22:33] Paul
    I will now give a summary of our strategy.
[22:38] Na
    Three months after the fall
    of Iserlohn Fortress,
[22:42] Na
    the Galactic Empire and the
    Free Planets Alliance
[22:46] Na
    were preparing to face one
    another in battle once again.
[22:54] Na
    On August 22nd of the year UC 796,
[22:59] Na
    the Free Planets Alliance
    expeditionary force
[23:01] Na
    established its command HQ
    within Iserlohn Fortress.
[23:05] Na
    Thirty million Alliance
    soldiers formed a line
[23:11] Na
    and began their expedition
    toward Imperial territory.
