Episode 1: In the Eternal Night
In humanity's distant future, two interstellar states—the monarchic Galactic Empire and the democratic Free Planets Alliance—are embroiled in a never-ending war. The story focuses on the exploits of rivals Reinhard von Müsel and Yang Wen Li as they rise to power and fame in the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance.
Galactic Imperial Navy High Admiral, Reinhard von Lohengramm, does the unthinkable and doesn't retreat from a battle he will obviously lose. His subordinates think he is a cocky mad-man. The battle ensues and to everyone's surprise, Reinhard ends up the victor - or so it seems.
The original commander has fallen to Reinhard, but a new man appears seemingly from nowhere to claim command of the rebels. This new man, Commodore Yang Wen-li, was the deputy staff officer to the commander. Yang Wen-li tells all rebels to obey his orders and they will be saved, they cannot lose.
At the end of the episode, Reinhard seems to lose his cool composure and becomes agitated, setting us up for an epic battle between the two.
