Synopsis:

The Galactic Empire and Free Planets Alliance have maintained a fragile peace for a century and a half. This uneasy equilibrium shatters with the emergence of Reinhard von Lohengramm, a rising military star driven by a vision of unified humanity and liberation from a tyrannical emperor. His ascent is aided by his steadfast companion, Siegfried Kircheis, but his ambitions are complicated by internal political factions and the legacy of a fallen dynasty. Across the galaxy, Yang Wenli, a historian deeply committed to democratic principles, finds himself navigating the complexities of war while mentoring a young officer grappling with ideals of leadership.

The series explores the moral ambiguities of conflict, examining how competing ideologies shape individual destinies amidst widespread loss. It delves into the motivations of its central figures as they confront fundamental questions about power, freedom, and the true cost of achieving their respective visions for the future of humankind.
