Synopsis

Julian Mintz and friends manage to leave Fezzan on the merchant ship Berezka. When the Berezka is spotted by an Imperial destroyer on patrol, Julian devises a plot to capture the destroyer captain as a hostage and take over the destroyer, which succeeds. Reinhard von Lohengramm organises and briefs his fleet on the invasion plan. The Imperial fleet has a 3 to 1 numerical advantage over the hodgepodge Alliance fleet. The Imperial and Alliance fleets are days away from a battle in the uninhabited Rantemario Starzone.
