''[[Military ranks of the Galactic Empire#Admiral|Admiral]] [[Reinhard von Lohengramm]] of the [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] fleet prepares his forces for a confrontation against the numerically superior [[Free Planets Alliance]] in the [[Battle of Astarte]].'' ==Synopsis== 1 January {{d|796|uc}}: An Imperial Fleet consisting of more than 20,000 warships under the command of [[Reinhard von Lohengramm]] engages the combined [[Free Planets Alliance]] [[2nd Fleet|2nd]], [[4th Fleet|4th]] and [[6th Fleet|6th]] Fleets in the [[Astarte Starzone]]. Against the advice of his subordinate officers, Reinhard decides on a blitzkrieg strategy, moving to quickly assault the Alliance fleets individually, before they have time to complete their encirclement manoeuvres. Confident in their 2:1 numerical advantage, the Alliance commanders fail to consider Reinhard's move, despite being warned about its possibility in advance by [[Yang Wen-li]]. As a result, the 4th Fleet and the 6th Fleet were routed in quick succession, leaving only the now numerically disadvantaged 2nd Fleet to battle the Imperial fleet. ==Appendices== ===Music=== *Gustav Mahler – Symphony No. 3: I.
