Julian reaches Phezzan and attends a welcome gathering the following evening. During this event, he circulates speculation regarding a potential Imperial invasion of the planet. Meanwhile, Reinhart prepares his fleet for Operation Ragnarok. Admiral Bucock attempts to alert the Alliance National Defense Council about a possible attack through the Phezzan corridor, but his warnings are disregarded. On November 20, 798 S.C. / 489 I.C., Admiral Reuenthal commands an Imperial Fleet consisting of 36,000 ships to lay siege to Iserlohn. This military action constitutes the initial phase of Operation Ragnarok, marking a significant escalation in the conflict between the Empire and the Alliance.
