Commander, the 'Geiersburg' Fortress has been detected in our galaxy. Based on the data received from the commander we encountered during the dimensional storm, this fortress holds strong defenses. 

However, like the 'Crux Ghost Fleets' that are currently haunting the universe, they are also observed to be inoperative due to the unstable warp. They can be seen as scarecrows now, and it seems that this is our only chance.

Commander! Please give the order to annihilate!

<Galactic Empire Dimension Rift>

Due to the repeated Dimension Rifts, a dimensional storm occurred and a massive number of CRUX Recon Fleets have been passed over to the 'Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These' Dimension. 

At first, CRUX fleets poured into the imperial planetary systems beyond the Iserlohn Corridor. 

Many planetary systems were destroyed by the CRUX, and as Reinhard heard the news, he decided to conquer them with his commanders. 

Reinhard succeeded to defeat most of the CRUX fleets and drove them back to Iserlohn Corridor.
