Hermann von Lüneburg and Reinhard von Müsel prepare for the ground assault on the Free Planets Alliance rear support base at Van-Fleet 4-2. Reinhard, assigned as vice-commander, is frustrated by serving under Lüneburg despite their equal rank and is further angered by an offer to work under him in the future. Meanwhile, Walter von Schönkopf, interim regimental commander of the Rosen Ritter, faces significant disadvantages in organizing the Alliance defense, including inferior weaponry, inadequate supplies, a substantial numerical disadvantage, and poor coordination with other ground troops. His strategy is to hold the line until fleet reinforcements arrive. On 6 April 794 UC, both sides finally clash with each other.
