Synopsis
The history of the galaxy is briefly summarised, beginning with the establishment of the Galactic Federation in 2801 CE (1 UC) and its subsequent reorganisation into the Galactic Empire in 310 UC (1 IC / 3110 CE) by Rudolf von Goldenbaum. It then continues with the founding of the Free Planets Alliance in 527 UC (218 IC / 3327 CE) by a group of exiled republicans who had escaped from an Imperial penal colony under the leadership of Arle Heinessen and had voyaged for over half a century before discovering a habitable planet to settle in. The history concludes with the first contact between the Alliance and the Empire in 640 UC (331 IC / 3440 CE), which led to the war that is still ongoing.
Back in the present, Reinhard von Lohengramm is promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral and appointed as Vice Commander of the Imperial Space Fleet by Kaiser Friedrich IV for his victory in the Battle of Astarte. The next day together with Siegfried Kircheis, Reinhard visits his sister, Annerose von Grünewald, favoured concubine of the Kaiser.
Kircheis contemplates the past, remembering how he first met Reinhard and Annerose; how Annerose was taken from her family to serve the Kaiser, and how the loss of his sister ignited Reinhard's ambitions to depose the tyranny of the high nobles and the Goldenbaum Dynasty.
