Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These

The Galactic Imperial Navy, led by High Admiral Reinhard, launches an attack on the Free Planets Alliance; the latter has surrounded them on three sides.

The Free Planets Alliance counters the Galactic Imperial Navy's advance in the Astarte Starzone; the Alliance top brass are certain that their victory is assured.

Annerose, Reinhard's older sister, lives in the palace as the kaiser's favourite mistress; when Reinhard and Kircheis pay her a visit, she asks Kircheis to continue looking out for her brother.

After his father's death, Yang Wen-li entered the Free Planets Fleet Academy to study war history.

After its defeat at the Battle of Astarte, the Free Planets Alliance Navy returns to the planet Heinessen; a memorial service is held for the Alliance soldiers who died in the battle.

Sub-lieutenant Greenhill is added to the crew of the 13th Fleet; Captain Schönkopf and members of his regiment, the Rosen Ritter, begin implementing a plan to infiltrate Iserlohn Fortress disguised as Imperial soldiers.
