Synopsis

1 January 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE): An Imperial Fleet consisting of more than 20,000 warships under the command of Reinhard von Lohengramm engages the combined Free Planets Alliance 2nd, 4th and 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.
