Anton Hilmer von Schaft was an Imperial admiral who served under Reinhard von Lohengramm. Under the covert direction of Fezzan he produced and implemented a plan to mobilise Geiersburg Fortress, which led ultimately to the Eighth Battle of Iserlohn. He was subsequently arrested. 

For decades, the Galactic Empire has been locked in an interstellar war with the Free Planets Alliance, a conflict that involves thousands of spaceships and millions of soldiers on both sides. Two new commanders enter the conflict with great hopes: Imperial Admiral Reinhard von Lohengramm and the FPA's Yang Wen-Li. As they deal with superiors and subordinates, maneuver through complicated political arrangements, plot strategies, and win battles, each will be tested, and ultimately, changed, by the reality of war. <br><br>
