There, they plan to ask for asylum, whereupon, if the FPA grants this, Reinhard will declare official war against them and, once and for all, crush the rebels who have been flouting the GE’s authority for a couple of centuries. Volume 4 opens with a plan by exiled GE nobles to kidnap the seven-year-old emperor and flee to the Free Planets Alliance. How can the GE trick the FPA into thinking that they’ll try to attack Iserlohn fortress again, when they’re really going to use the Phezzan corridor (an unprecedented measure)? How can FPA admiral Yang, who foresees this, forestall it, if that’s even possible? And who’s really in control of Phezzan- Rubinsky? His estranged son? Commissioner Boltec (since he’s all tied up in this shady deal with Reinhard von Lohengramm, leader of the GE)?īut let’s step back a minute. After all, it’s what this particular chapter in the everlasting conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance is all about. “Stratagem” fits this fourth installment in the Legend of the Galactic Heroes series perfectly.
