Crest of the Stars (星界の紋章)

We've located an unidentified flying object.

We're unable to secure transmission with them.

Use all frequencies!

I'm trying.

Target approaching from direction 216,094.

Distance: 153,000.

It's refusing any communication.

Why didn't the alarm go off?

I have no idea. The object just suddenly appeared.

Where did it come from?

Ericson Two is on course to intercept.

It disappeared?

Okay. Get everyone together.

That's right, but...

No, don't discuss the defense system

until after it's been checked.

No, don't discuss it.

That's right. Not with anyone!

My beloved home planet. Martine.

Yet, was there ever really a time

when I missed my home planet?

Ever?

Come down, Jinto.

You shouldn't open the window.

You're letting the wind in.

Hey. Look.

Rina, what's that?

Passing the gate in ten seconds.

Oh, sir, you look so worried.

It's work that is far, far short of elegance.

And five... and four...

...and three... two...

...and one...

An emergency evacuation order

has been issued.

All citizens are to follow the instructions of officials

and evacuate to the designated area for your neighborhood.

An emergency evacuation order has been issued...

Jinto!

Jinto!

The fleet of the invading army has disclosed

the name of their nation.

It's "The Humankind Empire Abh."

The Hyde solar system government has immediately offered

to negotiate an alliance treaty with them.

However, the commander-in-chief of the invading army

has rejected this offer, and we are told he will be providing us

with an explanation of his actions.

It has been confirmed

that the official explanation will be aired

directly from the flagship of the invading army.

The commander-in-chief serves as a diplomat

as well as a soldier.

We're told he is the Prince of Abh.

So what's he like?

You won't be shocked by his face.

He doesn't look all that threatening.

It's kind of bizarre.

He looks like a harmless elf.

Look. There he is.

Now, let me summarize the relation between our Empire

and your world.

I've heard rumors that they don't get old.

And that all the men and women are really beautiful.

They also claim that they're children of Earthlings.

Except that they slightly altered their genes.

Oh, is that a fact?

Understand, my personal intentions

are merely those of the Empire's.

Or, at least, in matters that concern all of you.

First of all, your solar system will be looked over

by our noblemen.

For the time being, our Emperor will be your lord.

Needless to say, the Emperor has numerous other duties,

so a chief magistrate will be dispatched

to oversee this solar system.

However, a lord or magistrate

should not be bothered with such a trivial concern.

We feel that the task of governing your world is,

in essence, the furthest thing really from being desirable.

I don't believe it!

So this is a threat!

They say if we resist,

they won't hesitate to destroy this planet.

They rule over 1,500 inhabited solar systems,

and 20,000 other systems?

How do we fight against an Empire

with that much power?

But that's only what they're telling us,

isn't it?

Yes!

We can't believe everything declared by forces

that suddenly attack.

We can stage a counterattack.

We could win.

This is crazy!

Should we surrender

without any sign of retaliation?

You're worried about your image

on election day?

This is no time to be taking shots

at each other!

We have our Space Defense System

precisely for a time like this.

How on earth are we supposed to fight them

with a mere 10 lasers and 20 missiles?

This is about our nation's honor!

What does the Department

of Establishments think?

Well, actually, what we feel is-- You see, sir.

This door is closed due to an emergency.

Oww...

Huh?

Huh...?

Wow... Wow!

Ooh!

I had no idea.

Back then, on that day...

The expected departure time

for passenger ship Lengarf Glorf to Estote State is 17:30...

Was this place always like this?

[YOUNG MAN 1, YOUNG WOMAN 2 chuckling]

Huh?

The expected departure time

for passenger ship Lengarf Glorf to...

It's no wonder, being dressed like I am.

Hey, Daddy! Look!

Hm?

It's good!

...to do so at once, and proceed to gate 17.

I don't quite remember the day

I came here seven years ago.

I couldn't comprehend what was going on, just that...

...it was so emotional.

Jinto!

Teal?

What are you doing here? I've been looking for you.

I'm sorry.

I'll go back inside now.

Don't bother! Just come with me.

Where're we going?

To the President's home.

To Father's place?

Why are we going there?

Just come with me.

But wait.

Slow down.

We've got no time. Hurry up!

Did I do something wrong? I apologize, Teal.

Teal, please.

Teal. Can we win against them?

There is no win or lose. And there will be no war.

Then did we surrender?

Yes, that's right! And Rock has decided to surrender.

No, actually, your father sold out.

Sold out? What's that mean?
