Description

It's the Galactic Empire versus the Free Planets Alliance in Japan's greatest space opera epic

In the thirty-sixth century, humanity has conquered the galaxy and colonized countless star systems.

This classic Japanese space opera, adapted into a legendary anime, is finally available in English for the first time.

Reinhard, under his Golden Lion banner, is setting out to bend history and the universe to his will.

In the meantime, Reinhard's invasion of the Free Planets Alliance proceeds steadily apace. Standing in the path of the Imperial fleet is a fleet of FPA Navy vessels commanded by the elderly Admiral Bucock. An old lion roars out a life-or-death challenge, and a young lion answers it--the final battle of the Free Planets Alliance now begins
