Odc. 18: Siły Imperium łamią obronę bazy Sojuszu, ujmując dowódcę Sinclaira Cerebrese’a, zanim ewakuacja floty zakończy bitwę Van-Fleet 4-2.

18

The Imperial forces attacking the Alliance rear support base succeeds in breaking into the base headquarters, inflicting heavy damage to it. Reinhard von Müsel manages to capture the Alliance base commander, Sinclair Cerebrese, alive with some help from Siegfried Kircheis. They then return to where their fleet is stationed upon receiving retreat orders. Above Van-Fleet 4-2, the battle between the Alliance and Imperial fleets rages on inconclusively and only ends near the end of April 794 UC when both sides decide to withdraw from the Van-Fleet Starzone entirely. For his efforts, Reinhard is promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral. His superior Richard von Grimmelshausen and Hermann von Lüneburg are also promoted by one rank. However, Kircheis is not promoted, which infuriates Reinhard. (Source: Gineipaedia)
