## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

At the beginning of the Battle of Altaras Kingdom, the JMSDF Takanami-class destroyer *Takanami* destroyed and sunk the Parpaldian 50-gun ship of the line *Hidel* and four ships of the line of the Altaran colonial government’s Maritime Defense Unit on patrol in the seas northeast of Le Brias by 127mm main gun, killing Captain Darth and the crews.

Back at the communications room at the Hyperion Base near the naval port east of the capital Le Brias in the Altaras Kingdom, the sensor officer was manning the magic signature sensor. He looked closer at the screen where the ship-of-the-line signals, including flagship *Hidel*, disappeared. He tried to communicate on the channel used by the ships, but the transmission got cut out. He reported to the communications officer that he lost contact with the ships. The communications officer asked him where was the direction of the sensors, and the sensor officer replied to point to the last known location northeast on the screen. The communications officer wondered the northeast where the flagship *Hidel* and four ships were bound to port from the direction, not knowing what had happened to them.

Before the communications officer was ready to report to his base commander, Lieutenant General Lee Jacques stood with the army captain on the rooftop of his temporary command center of the Hyperion Base to discuss the defeat of the imperial army at Fenn Kingdom as a conspiracy by Mu and walked in less than five minutes towards the port. The Japanese attack began while Lee Jacques was gawking at the 100-gun ship-of-the-line *Spall*. Then, the *Spall* exploded into flames and split the ship in half before sinking underneath the waves of the harbor. The ships-of-the-line anchored at the ported all sunk one after another. Lee Jacques and the army captain escaped back to their temporary command center, receiving multiple incoming calls and reports of the attacks spread quickly, but by the time they finished preparing for battle, the naval port was completely destroyed, and all 20 ships of the line sinking at the bottom of the harbor.

The JASDF F-2 fighters dropped the bomb at the Hyperion Base, engulfing in the raging fireballs of multiple explosions erupting all over. The force of the blasts knocked Lee Jacques down onto the floor. When he looked up, the roof had disappeared, giving him a blurry, dusty view of the sky above. He caught the mechanical aircraft with red circles on the wings cruising through the skies at unbelievable speeds. He rapidly got up from the floor and reached the communications room. He instructed his communications officer to inform the Japanese attacks on all bases and the colonial government across the island through emergency channels. The communications officer removed pieces of the fallen roof from the magi-feed broadcast, which was still in functioning order, and frantically repeated Lee Jacques’ statement. All imperial manacomms across the island received the message, listening to it on Parpaldian emergency channels. However, as soon as the communications officer sent out the message, Lee Jacques was killed with subordinates, including the communications officer and the sensor officer, in the room when they saw a blinding burst of light generated again by the bombing of the F-2 fighters.

## Trivia

* In the manga version, the Hyperion Base is bombed by JASDF F-2 fighters and collapses. Lee Jacques gets up from the floor, but his head is wounded. He reaches the communications room of the Hyperion Naval Base, calling the communications officer. However, he looks around the ruin of the room and magical communication devices where the communications officer was killed in an explosive. Lee Jacques raises the barely magi-feed broadcast, which is still in functioning order, and uses it to send out an emergency message himself.
