History

Grand Duke Herbert led an Imperial Fleet in the first attempted invasion of the Free Planets Alliance at the command of Kaiser Friedrich III. His fleet was soundly defeated by the Supreme Commander of the Alliance Fleet, Lin Pao, and though Grand Duke Herbert survived and escaped, he was placed under house arrest and psychiatric treatment afterwards. This battle marked the begining of the Alliance–Imperial War.
