[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?
[04:50] Baghdash
    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.

[07:19] Legrange
    Any word from Commander Baghdash?
[07:21] Adjutant
    Not yet.
SIGN    11th Fleet Commander
    Vice Admiral Legrange
[07:25] Legrange
    That useless fool.
[07:27] Legrange
    Why did he infiltrate their fleet, then?
[07:30] Legrange
    Connect me to all ships!
[07:33] Legrange
    Attention, all men.
[07:35] Legrange
    The success or failure of
    this military revolution
[07:37] Legrange
    and our homeland's destiny
    depend on this battle.
[07:41] Legrange
    You must all give your
    utmost to fulfill your duty
[07:45] Legrange
    and give this gift to our homeland.
[07:49] Legrange
    I sincerely hope I can count on your
    courage and love for your homeland.
[07:53] Legrange
    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.
[08:32] Guy
    Enemy fleet detected at twelve o'clock!
[08:35] Yang
    All right, everyone...
[08:37] Yang
    I guess it's time to get started.
[08:42] Na
    Thus the battle between the
    Yang Fleet and the 11th Fleet began.
SIGN    13th Fleet Squadron Flagship
    Maurya
[08:47] Na
    With the information he
    obtained from Baghdash,
[08:50] Na
    Yang used the enemy's strategy against them,
[08:52] Na
    focusing all efforts on the
    main fleet at their left flank.
[08:55] Na
    This gave him the advantage in numbers.
[08:59] Nguyen
    Our squadron is the spearhead
    of this operation.
SIGN    Rear Admiral Nguyen Van Huu
[09:02] Nguyen
    We'll charge straight into
    the heart of the enemy!
[09:05] Nguyen
    Fire! Fire! Fire everything you've got!
[09:12] Guy
    We're being attacked from three o'clock!
[09:14] Guy
    It's the Yang Fleet!
[09:15] Legrange
    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!
[09:23] Adjutant
    Yes, sir!
[09:24] Guy
    We're being attacked from eleven o'clock!
[09:27] Adjutant
    The main fleet on the left flank
    has encountered the enemy, as well.
[09:29] Adjutant
    They believe it to be Yang's squadron.
[09:32] Commander
    Commence counterattack!
SIGN    13th Fleet Squadron Flagship
    Manannan Mac Lir
[09:35] Fischer
    There's no need to defeat the enemy.
SIGN    Rear Admiral Edwin Fischer
[09:37] Fischer
    We only need to slow them down so
    they can't join the main fleet.
[09:45] Nguyen
    This is great!
[09:46] Nguyen
    We don't even need to aim!
[09:49] Nguyen
    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
    and do whatever it takes to stop them!
[10:14] Poplin
    We're going to stop the
    enemy from regrouping.
[10:17] Poplin
    Rum and Applejack, go for
    the squadron commander.
[10:20] Poplin
    Sherry and Cognac, you're with me.
[10:22] All
    Roger!
[10:32] Adjutant
    The rear of our fleet was
    separated from the line,
[10:33] Adjutant
    and now they're taking concentrated fire!
[10:37] Legrange
    Turn around! We're going
    to back up the rear ships!
[10:46] Legrange
    What's happening?!
SIGN    13th Fleet Squadron Flagship

[10:48] Dusty
    Keep these ships where they are
    until their rear is taken care of.
[10:52] Dusty
    There's no need to go along with their setup.
SIGN    Rear Admiral Dusty Attenborough
[10:55] Dusty
    Let's just hang around for now.
[10:57] Lao
    Yes, sir.
[11:19] Murai
    It's been two hours since combat commenced.
[11:21] Murai
    The rear of the enemy line is
    mostly under our control, but...
[11:24] Yang
    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
    assembling at a stadium
[17:24] Na
    for a rally to protest the
    National Salvation Military Council.

[18:10] Christian
    you citizens who cling to

    Hey. Drag ten of them up on the stage.
[18:27] Guy
    Yes, sir!
[18:32] Christian
    Now, how about some answers?
[18:34] Christian
    Is your leader Jessica Edwards?
[18:39] Guy
    I don't know.
[18:41] Christian
    Is that so?
[18:43] Christian
    Then... let me jog your memory!
[18:49] Christian
    Goodness, what's wrong? Do you feel unwell?
[18:54] Christian
    I'll ask you now.
[18:58] Christian
    Is your leader Jessica Edwa—
[18:59] Jessica
    Captain Christian!
[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,
[19:53] Christian
    and you dare run your big mouths to me?!
[19:57] Jessica
    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!
[21:16] Guy
    Someone has a blaster!
[21:18] Guy
    We can't handle this!
[21:20] Guy
    We have no choice!
    Permission to fire granted!

    Don't move! Move and I'll shoot!

    I can't believe he acted so rashly.
[22:02] Gatty
    If this drives all of the
    citizens to revolt at once...
[22:07] Bronze
    We would lose the citizens' support.
[22:10] Bronze
    We'd become a minority.
[22:16] Dwight
    Why?
[22:21] Na
    The news of the Stadium Massacre 
    did not reach the* Hyperion*

    Okay. Then deliver this notice to all ships.
[22:34] Frederica
    Understood.
[22:37] Na
    When he learned of Jessica's death,
[22:41] Na
    Yang wore sunglasses for a whole
    day to conceal his expression.
[23:06] Na
    At the end of July in the year UC 797,

    Yang's fleet was about to arrive at Heinessen.
