Synopsis
The Free Planets Alliance expeditionary fleet has conquered more than 200 starzones (with over 50 million inhabitants) without engaging in combat. In Iserlohn Fortress, Vice Admiral Alex Cazerne drafts a supply plan, but he is worried about such a heavy burden; in his opinion, Reinhard von Lohengramm clearly wants the Free Planets Alliance to exhaust its resources on behalf of the liberated planets. The supply fleet is destroyed by Siegfried Kircheis because Andrew Falk did not consider the possibility of such an attack. Yang Wen-li, fearing the scorched earth policy, convinces his fellow fleet commanders to ask for a withdrawal. Riots break out on many planets because of the food shortage and the looting of the soldiers. Falk experiences a case of hysterical blindness after being rebuked by 5th Fleet commander Alexandre Bewcock. In Fezzan, Adrian Rubinsky grants a new loan to the Free Planets Alliance to maintain the balance; he hopes to control both the Empire and the Alliance financially. 10 October 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE): Reinhard orders to launch the counterattack.

Apocrypha
- The scenes on Kappahl (the Imperial frontier planet occupied by the 7th Fleet) are anime-original; the original novels (Volume 1, Chapter 8) only mentioned about the outbreak of riots in the occupied territories under the 7th Fleet and did not elaborate on the events that led to the riots.
