After the success of Operation Alabaster Gale, the Gallian Army arrives at the gates of the capital. Baldren Gassenarl asks Jean Townshend to send him to the Federation as a guest. Unable to decline, Townshend agrees to send him and they leave to Anthold harbor where the Battleship Dandarius is docked. After Baldren hears the report of Class G nearing the docks in the area, he sends Dirk Gassenarl and the rest of the manmade Valkyrias (V2) with the mission to eliminate them.
