Synopsis:
Set within the sprawling Galactic Empire, this OVA explores the formative years of Reinhard von Lohengramm and Siegfried Kircheis following their graduation from military academy. Assigned to the remote planet Kapche-Lanka, the pair quickly find themselves navigating the complexities of Imperial law enforcement as members of the Military Police. Their duties expose them to systemic corruption and ultimately lead them to investigate a suspicious death connected to their alma mater.
The narrative follows Reinhard's early career, marked by both ambition and frustration with bureaucratic inefficiencies. A brief respite offered on Kreuznach III turns into an entanglement with a drug trafficking case, highlighting the Empire’s underbelly. Through these experiences, alongside clashes with rival officers like Hermann von Lüneburg, the series offers a glimpse into the developing dynamic between Reinhard and Kircheis as they navigate their paths toward prominence within the vast galactic landscape.
