Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These - Stellar War Part 2

Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm’s bid to shake the Free Planets Alliance bears fruit when former Rear Admiral Arthur Lynch sparks a coup on Heinessen. Acting on a strategy devised by Reinhard, Lynch persuades his old friend Admiral Dwight Greenhill to oversee the National Salvation Military Council’s overthrow of the civilian leadership. Determined to protect democratic ideals and reinstate the Alliance constitution, Admiral Yang Wen-li finds himself forced to confront not only fellow citizens, but also—painfully—the father of his trusted aide, Lieutenant Frederica Greenhill.

With the Alliance consumed by turmoil at home, the Galactic Empire gains room to move against the newly formed Lippstadt League under Duke Otto von Braunschweig. As High Admiral Siegfried Kircheis wages a distant campaign in the aristocrats’ frontier territories, Reinhard leans more heavily on the hard-edged counsel of Vice Admiral Paul von Oberstein, whose sway within the Lohengramm admiralty continues to rise. Across both powers, the cost in lives mounts, and both Yang and Reinhard are left to weigh the same unsettling question: how will their choices be judged by history, and what price can ever be justified?
