Synopsis
On 22 August 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE), the invasion of the Galactic Empire begins. Reinhard von Lohengramm implements a scorched earth strategy; all food is taken from the frontier zone, so the "Liberation Force" of the Free Planets Alliance will be forced to feed the inhabitants. Reinhard plans to attack the invading fleets when their supply lines become overstretched. Commodore Ulrich Kesler carries out the orders but, in the process, has to face someone from his past.
