"White Star Rising, Part 3"
The Kajitori have taken White Star Castle, but have yet to crack her systems. Once they do, they will have ensconced themselves into an impenetrable fortress, and captured that sector of space from the Shirohoshi Clan. Shirohoshi's Admiral Oyako and his fleet race to stop that dire fate, but his mission relies on the covert efforts of the advance team, made of Miyamoto Usagi, Tomoeh, Rhogen, and S.P.O.T.
Admiral Niiro leads the Kajitori forces, and seeks to curry the favor of his Empress, but when Usagi's team steals the prize from his grasp, Niiro will have Usagi's blood. Tomoeh saves Usagi's life, at the cost of her own.
