On August 22, 796 S.C. / 487 I.C., the Empire launches its invasion. Reinhard executes a scorched earth policy by confiscating all food from the frontier zone, intending to force the Free Planets Alliance's Liberation force to sustain local inhabitants while stretching their own supply lines. He plans to strike the invading fleets once they are overextended. Commodore Ulrich Kesler carries out these orders but encounters an individual from his past during the operation. This strategic maneuver aims to weaken the Alliance's logistical capabilities before engaging their naval forces directly.
