Heroes of the Galaxy

History of the Goldenbaum Galactic Empire

... consists of a series of victories and defeats, both honest and shameful.

Among the empire's most notable setbacks was the defeat at Dagon in 331.

... then there was the battle of Shandaruv in 387.

Soldiers' uprising under the command of Admiral Taliman in 408.

Betrayal of Admiral Siegmeister in 419.

And the loss of the Halsetti star system in the same year.

Assassination of Admiral Müfelsen in 442.

But the most devastating of these was the defeat at Arlesheim in 483.

Vice Admiral Kaiserling's fleet detected moving enemy forces

... and decided to attack them unexpectedly.

Vice Admiral Kaiserling

But before it's time to attack

... part of the units of the imperial fleet attacked the enemy, ignoring the order of the commander.

As a result of the Union's immediate counter-attack,

... the fleet of the empire suffered crushing losses and was completely defeated.

The outcome of the battle was sealed as the Imperials not only lost the element of surprise,

... but also entered the battle at an extremely unfortunate moment, being literally surrounded by the enemy fleet.

Losses among personnel amounted to more than 60%.

It was a complete rout, as a result of which

... the pride of the Imperial troops was greatly hurt.

When Kaiserling returned from that battle to his homeland, a military tribunal awaited him.

The vice admiral was accused of incompetence and inability to command troops.

He also bears all the responsibility for the untimely attack.

... as a result of which the moment of surprise was lost, which led to a complete rout.

But since Emperor Frederick IV was celebrating his recovery from an illness that had long tormented him, he was forgiven.

Kaiserling was demoted to Rear Admiral and retired.

As a result, the reputation of the former commander was irretrievably ruined.

He didn't say a word during the whole trial.

A shame

Attention all passengers.

We are arriving on the Kreuznach III satellite orbiting the planet Zoft.

Siegfried Kircheis

Here you will find a whole range of entertainment services.

... it will help you to have a good rest.

Everyone who's coming down here, please get ready.

Vacation...

So, won't you go?

Reinhard von Musel

Not now. I'll catch up with you in two or three days.

You go first, just like we planned.

Maybe in that case, I'll wait for you on Odin?

Moreover, we still need to prepare for a new task at the beginning of next year.

Preparations are already in full swing.

But we know that the officers who were assigned to this operation,

... not too happy to be under your command.

You mean Merkatz, Staden, Vogel, Fahrenheit and Erlach.

They won't resist openly

... but it will be tight if they put spokes in our wheels.

On the battlefield, they will have no choice but to follow my orders.

So I'm sure they will comply.

Do not worry.

Besides, there's nothing we can do about it right now.

You're right.

By the way, what is this urgent matter you were talking about?

This concerns the title of earl, which I want to receive.

Next year when I'm promoted to Admiral General

Admiral General, above only (Fleet Admiral) Fleet Admiral.

... I will become Count Reinhard von Lohengramm.

True, you still have to visit the family tomb of the real Loengrams and something else there.

Are you going to give up the last name Musel, which you have since birth?

Musel?!

Muselle is the name of the one who sold his own daughter to the Emperor!

I don't want to have anything to do with that last name!

Reinhard...

I still don't fully understand this man.

Loengrams are an aristocratic family with a history spanning several centuries.

They became famous for their cruelty to the common people,

... did not stop at the murder of women and children, and all for the sake of their political ambitions.

But to me, Lohengramm sounds much better than Musel.

Such are the things.

So this time you can enjoy your vacation without me.

True, only two or three days.

If I load you too much, my sister will swear.

Okay, call me if anything.

Such entertainment is not at all to my taste.

How can you relax in a place like this?

I can't help myself.

Captain 2nd Rank Siegfried Kircheis, I booked a room with you for 5 days.

I beg your pardon, captain, you look so young.

I'm tired of hearing about it.

But he is absolutely right.

Get this title at this age

...pretty good for a commoner, isn't it.

If I say that I will soon be promoted to Captain 2nd Rank, I wonder what kind of face he will have?

Your number is 1204.

Have a nice holiday.

Thank you.

You just saved my life.

Thanks for that, young man.

Baron Michael von Kaiserling

I am Baron Kaiserling.

You risked your life for a stranger, and I am extremely grateful to you for that.

Kaiserling?

Is he the retired Rear Admiral Kaiserling?

Thanks for the kind words.

I am Captain 2nd Rank Siegfried Kircheis.

Oh, so young, and already a captain.

Yes, I hear it all the time.

Retired Rear Admiral Michael von Kaiserling.

Head of a noble noble family and former Vice Admiral.

He is held responsible for our defeat at Arlesheim three years ago.

After that, he was demoted to rear admiral and retired.

I heard that the reason for our defeat was an untimely launched attack.

But he doesn't seem as incompetent and stupid as people make him out to be.

Captain 2nd rank Siegfried Kircheis.

Sorry for disturbing you,

... but could you come with me to the station, we need to settle a number of formalities?

Good.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hey redhead guy.

You are strong.

I bet 100 marks on you.

How sad to hear that.

But I think I can get used to this city of sin, don't you, Zig?
