Legend of the Galactic Heroes
In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.
A sprawling, philosophically ambitious military space opera that treats war as a cyclical human condition rather than a problem to be solved.
War rages between the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance. With two new brilliant young leaders at the helm, anything can happen in this military space opera.
