Talk:Patoroklos

From Gineipaedia, the Legend of Galactic Heroes wiki

Text from 'Reinhard and Yang'

I have a licensed book called 'Reinhard and Yang' (or something to that effect — will create an article for it later) that contains brief descriptions of some of the ships that appear in MCISS. The Patoroklos is one of those ships; its description in the book reads:

パトロクロス
同盟軍第2艦隊旗艦。パエッタ中将が乗る。全長1159メートル。艦首に光子砲40門を装備している。巨大なスタビライザーが持徴。

Which means something like the following (loosely translated):

Patoroklos
FPA 2nd Fleet flagship. Vice Admiral Paetta commanding. Overall length: 1159 metres. Equipped with 40 forward photon cannons. Features a huge stabiliser.

I am not sure what they're referring to when they say 'stabiliser' (it's in kana), but the length and cannon information might be useful at the very least.  ♥ kine @ 03:42, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

One good thing about LOGH is that the weapons (with the exception of Brunhild and Parzival/Percival) are easy to count just by looking at the show - I just checked MCISS and she definitely has exactly 40 forward cannons - five rows of 8 cannons each along the prow.Vympel 05:07, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Appearance in Episode 21?

In Episode 21 (at around 12:28ish on the CA DVD .mkv), they reuse footage from Episode 2, of Poplin and Konev's Spartanians flying past the Patroklos. Do we take this to mean the Patroklos was part of the Yang Fleet? It's at least *possible* - after all, Patroklos was only damaged at Astate, and the remnants of the 2nd/4th/6th fleets did become the 13th which eventually became the Yang Fleet. Note, I took a similar line with the reuse of footage of the Watzmann from Episode 1 appearing in Episode 20. Thoughts? Vympel 10:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
