Walter von Schönkopf leads subordinates to locate superior Otto Frank von Wahnschaffe, fearing Imperial contact. They discover Hermann von Lüneburg, former Rosen Ritter commander, leads Imperial forces on Van-Fleet 4-2. After reuniting with Wahnschaffe, the group suffers a severe ambush by Lüneburg’s troops, resulting in significant casualties and Wahnschaffe’s death. Schönkopf retreats to base and petitions commander Sinclair Cerebrese for authority to organize defenses against an anticipated full-scale Imperial attack. He also urges Cerebrese to request reinforcements from the Alliance fleets in the Van-Fleet Starzone. The 5th Fleet receives this request, and its commander, Alexandre Bewcock, agrees to provide full assistance.
