(This is the Leonidas. Not the Charlemagne)

In December 13, 795 uc the 2nd, 4th, 6th fleet, and 40,000 ships of the alliance navy left Heinessen to the Astarte starzone to meet the invading imperial fleet of 20,000. People would believe this will result in a major victory. But that will soon change when the battle becomes a debacle from second one because of alliance commanders for their Incompetence and refusal to cooperate with each other.

~Astarte Starzone~
All of the commanders of each fleet were being informed by all of the three commanders. Vice admiral Paetta, vice admiral Pastolle, and vice admiral Moore respectively. They plan to destroy the invading imperial fleet on three sides like the battle of Dagon. Deep within the minds of the three men, they know that it will result into disaster.

— 4th fleet —
- Leonidas -
"What do you mean they are coming here?!," vice admiral Pastolle said. "We know what we mean. He will go for us, then go at the 6th fleet, then destroy the 2nd fleet. That may be their best strategy and plan. I suggest we should regroup with either the 6th or 2nd fleets." Both commodore Fischer and rear admiral Harrow.

- Charlemagne -
Pastolle shook his head; “no we must engage the enemy head-on.” This shocked us; me and Fischer the most out of all of them. Both of us knew that it was suicide. "Iron Squadron prepare for battle stations and ready spartanians!" The klaxon alarm set off and just as that we were ready.

The 2nd heavy attack squadron aka "Iron Squadron"; a squadron of 300 ships from the alliance 4th fleet that have been upgraded heavily apart from standard alliance ships. All ships in this squadron have been upgraded and updated by the overall supervision of rear admiral Harrow under his 'David & Goliath project' in 791 UC. From updated and improved weapons, armour, and computers to new and refined shielding, engines, and new energy reactors. This is the most powerful squadron fielded by the Alliance navy. Soon that power of the project, his ship, the squadron, and everything Harrow had made will soon be tested here at Astarte with the 4th fleet. (Wanted to give some exposition about Harrow, the squadron, and the Charlemagne)

Pastolle yells, “prepare for battle stations! Alert the other fleets!” ‘too late’ I thought. ‘They probably have jammed us as well.’ As the imperial fleet engages us in an odd version or form of a blitzkrieg from WW2. Oddly from the history of Terra or some would say Earth in space for those people who truly knew its name was.
