## Chronology

### New World War Arc

In the Great Naval Battle of Baltica, Cleos, who sits on the back seat on the Altair dive bomber with pilot Norgio, faced against the Holy Milishial Imperial aerial battleship Pal Chimera for the first time.

13 Antares-type carrier-based fighters go forward, bank, and then turn to 10 o'clock. They filled the throttle and launched the assault. The Altair dive bomber will ascend and aim at the target in case the effect of the first strike by the fighter cannot be confirmed.

At one point, a light bullet was fired from Antares fighters and landed on Pal Chimera. The 20mm caliber shell released from the Antares carrier-based fighter lands on Pal Chimera, releasing its power. At the landing part, film-like demons spread radially as if pebbles had fallen on the surface of the water. Machine shells mixed with tracer ammunition are repelled by the armor and fly in various directions.

The six Atratates gun mounted in the ring shape of the Aerial Battleship Pal Chimera turned to the sky, and after the particles were sucked into the muzzle, they started shooting.

Norgio, who saw the Pal Chimera Unit 02, reported to Cleos for attacking by the cannon was judged to be ineffective, and the preceding 1st platoon was about to start a dive bombing. The Antares fighters have already begun to dive and adjust the aim of the bombing. The next moment Norgio wondered what the enemy was doing and tried to talk to Cleos, a ferocious anti-aircraft gun was fired from the Pal Chimera.

The light bullets launched into the sky look like a shower of fierce light, and the first platoon that was ahead in the light begins to explode one after another. The first platoon, which was ahead of them, was wiped out shortly after the radio was turned on. Norgio and Cleos tremble in fear.

The 2nd platoon wrapped around to the north, the 3rd was east, the 5th was west, and the 6th started a dive bombing from the south. The 7th Platoon should carry out horizontal bombing from high altitude. They formed a formation that was not disturbed, and they sneaked around and launched simultaneous attacks.

The aerial battleship Pal Chimera Unit 02 fired the Atratates cannon again at the spreading enemy plane. All of the 18,000 light bullets shoot 3000 minutes per minute from the six units shine like tracer ammunition, repainting the sky.

After the shooting was over, most of the Imperial Navy 18th Air Corps were trying to attack fell apart, and the remaining planes also crashed while blowing fire. They wiped out, except for the Antares carrier-based fighter who was about to leave.

Norgio desperately moved the control stick, but he can't hear what the pilot says. The attack of Pal Chimera Unit 02, which hit the engine and the right wing, caused great damage to the aircraft. The front engine shuts down and black smoke obstructs visibility. From the tip of the wing, a flame is emitted vigorously. The aircraft loses control and falls while spinning.

Norgio tried to contact his colleague Cleos thru the wireless radio, but there was no response. He manually pried open the canopy and saw him in the back seat who had already died. He escaped with a parachute on his back from the Altair dive bomber.
