Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These - Stellar War Part 3

At Admiral Yang Wen-li’s urging, the defected intelligence officer Commander Baghdash issues an urgent broadcast alleging that the National Salvation Military Council’s coup was orchestrated with Galactic Empire backing. Even without concrete proof, the announcement shakes the Free Planets Alliance and prompts former Rear Admiral Andrew Lynch to confess his part in fomenting internal unrest. The fragile era of martial rule collapses in the wake of a deadly confrontation between Lynch and Admiral Dwight Greenhill.

Across the galaxy, the Empire reels when footage surfaces of Duke Otto von Braunschweig’s nuclear attack on Westerland, accelerating the breakup of the Lippstadt League. Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm’s choice to let the tragedy unfold for strategic advantage drives a wedge between him and High Admiral Siegfried Kircheis, casting a shadow over their momentum toward supremacy. As the civil conflicts in both states near their end, Yang and Reinhard are left to measure victory against irrevocable loss—each finding grim reassurance in the existence of a rival who can truly match him.
