It's the master tactician of the ruthless Galactic Empire versus the
Free Planets Alliance in Japan's greatest space opera epic!
In the thirty-sixth century, humanity has conquered the galaxy and
colonized countless star systems. The Galactic Empire, modeled along
Prussian lines, and the democratic Free Planets Alliance are at war, and
the fate of every human being in the universe hangs in the balance. This
classic Japanese space opera, adapted into a legendary anime, is finally
available in English for the first time.
Having taken his devoted confidant Hildegard von Lohengramm as his
empress, Kaiser Reinhard awaits the birth of his heir. Much remains to
trouble him, from the ongoing campaign of terror by Church of Terra
diehards to the machinations of an erstwhile landesherr, and there are
ominous signs that his own condition may be graver than anyone suspects.
Nevertheless, it seems that peace has finally come to the New Galactic
Empire. Meanwhile, in the Iserlohn Republic, Julian Mintz, successor to
Yang the Magician, resolves to begin the first and final battle fought
on the republic's terms--the world-shaking conclusion to the Legend of
the Galactic Heroes.
