Legends of Galactic Heroes - The Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 5

— 2nd fleet —
- Patoroklos -

"The 6th fleet as well?" Another person asks Yang. "Yes Dusty, as of now there's the probability that the 6th fleet is wiped out since it has gone dark." Yang responds to both Dusty and another person under Dusty named Lao. "This means that they will soon come for us. And that their morale would be high in spirits to defeat us." Yang says to them as they are heading to the bridge.

— 4th fleet —
‐ Charlemagne -

The 4th fleet when the battle was over rushed to the Remnants of the 6th fleet. What they saw was ships turned to bunches and thickets of scrap metal. Harrow took of his beret and lowered his head and closed his eyes to give respect.

"Sir!" Harrow looked at the radar operator. "What is it?" Harrow questions as he walks to him. The radar operator responds, "sir we are getting a small distress beacon on our scopes. It could be an escape pod or a shuttle dead in space."

"Get us to the area and then we have to get to the 2nd fleet. Medical team, if there's anyone alive in there, them get them to the infirmary as fast as you can." A bunch of yes sir's sounded and the Charlemagne, the Airget lamh, Iron Squadron, and the Remnants of the 4th fleet move to that beacon.

"Sir! We recovered the pod! There's a person inside!" The recovery team sounded. "Good, get him to the medical bay!" Harrow orders, "now we must be moving, 4th fleet, full speed to the 2nd fleet! Prepare for battle stations and ready for combat!"

The alarm sounded as the ships went to full speed to the 2nd fleet.

— 2nd fleet —
- Patoroklos -

The 2nd fleet simply glides through space as they are nearing the enemy fleet. Paetta is busy sitting in his chair, waiting for the enemy. The sensor operator pick up something on his screen. "Sir, enemy ships detected." 'They'd be at the 1:20 direction.' Yang thought.

"At 1:20 o'clock and 7 degrees up angle off central axis." The sensor operator says. Vice admiral Paetta yells, "prepare for battle stations!" 'Too late,' yang thought.

This started the final minor battle of Astarte between the imperial and alliance fleets. The final match between the imperial fleet and the alliance 2nd fleet hangs in the balance. As the imperial fleet started firing, their first salvos hit the Patoroklos badly damaging the bridge, knocking out the bridge staff. After the hits, the flagship went silent, but only for a short time.
