Jean Robert Lap is a talented lieutenant commander for the Free Planets Alliance. He is both a former schoolmate and old friend of Yang Wen-Li, and the fiancée of Jessica Edwards. He served as an operations staff officer in the 6th fleet of the Battle of Astate. Lap died, along with the 6th fleet, in the Battle of Astate. He had insisted upon retreat as defeat was inevitable. But his superior, Commander Moore, refused, suggesting that retreat was cowardly. Lap's death inspired the political activism of Jessica Edwards. Yang also felt some measure of responsibility; if he had been more assertive, many lives (including Lap's) may have been saved. Lap was posthumously promoted to the rank of Captain.

Wolfgang Mittermeyer is a rear admiral serving in Reinhard’s fleet and, along with Oskar von Reuenthal, Reinhard’s ablest field commander. Mittermeyer is a commoner, born to a middle-class family. He first met Reuenthal while stationed in fortress Iserlohn, early in his career, and the two became close friends. Kind and caring, Mittermeyer has been a stabilizing factor for Reuenthal’s self-destructive tendencies ever since. A family man at heart Mittermeyer soon married his childhood sweetheart Evangeline and became a dedicated husband, but their efforts to have children have been fruitless thus far. Unfortunately for him, his lowly pedigree was about to cause him serious trouble. Mittermeyer ordered the execution of one of his subordinates for assaulting, robbing and murdering a civilian woman. Although his decision was just, he turned out to belong to a powerful noble family and Mittermeyer was soon arrested. While the nobles plotted his death, desperate to save his only friend Reuenthal met with Reinhard von Müsel (later Lohengramm) and offered his and Mittermeyer’s loyalty to him, in exchange for aid in saving Mittermeyer from the nobility and clearing his name. Reinhard, who had his own well-known issues with the nobles, readily accepted and both of them were transferred under his command. Nicknamed “the gale wolf”, Mittermeyer is renowned for his boldness in warfare, his lightning responses to changing factors in the battlefield, as well as his ability to cover huge distances in a relatively short time, while keeping his fleet organized from his flagship Beowulf. Under Reinhard's command, he receives the flagship Beowulf. Mittermeyer is an able strategist and a brilliant tactician, one of the very best of his era. He is composed, just with his subordinates and fiercely loyal to Reinhard, not only for saving his life, but also because he honestly respects his abilities.
Birthdate: October 26, 458 R.C. (767 U.C.) Oskar von Reuenthal is a rear admiral serving in Reinhard’s fleet and, along with Wolfgang Mittermeyer, Reinhard’s ablest field commander. Reuenthal was born to a lowly, but rich noble father and a mother from a distinguished but impoverished line that only married his father for his material affluence. Reuenthal was born with a rare condition called heterochromia, one of his eyes is blue, while the other is brown. Since both his parents had blue eyes, this was seen as proof of his mother’s adultery. His mother committed suicide after trying to pluck out his brown eye while he was still an infant. Reuenthal’s father put the blame on him and he grew up hated and neglected. Reuenthal joined the military and rose through the ranks rather quickly, finding in war the reason he needed to keep on living. While stationed in fortress Iserlohn, he met Wolfgang Mittermeyer and the two became close friends. Mittermeyer is probably the only person Reuenthal has managed to have a normal relationship with and he greatly values their friendship. When Mittermeyer was unjustly detained and in danger of assassination by the nobility, Reuenthal didn’t hesitate to pledge his loyalty to Reinhard in return for his help with Mittermeyer’s case. Reuenthal appears calm and composed on the outside, he is a brilliant war strategist, second only to Reinhard, and an accomplished tactician, but Reuenthal is, in reality, a ticking bomb ready to go off at any moment and perhaps would have already exploded if not for Mittermeyer’s soothing presence in his life. His problematic childhood has ridden him with an incredible amount of self-loathing and a complete inability to trust women, though handsome and successful with the opposite sex, he never manages to get into a healthy relationship. Proud and ambitious Reuenthal often contemplates treachery, but his respect towards Reinhard and the debt he owes him, manage to restrain him. His flagship is the Tristan.
Birthdate: January 14, 467 R.C. (776 U.C.) Siegfried Kircheis is a young captain serving in Reinhard’s fleet, as well as his best friend. Born a commoner, Kircheis first met the future Reinhard von Lohengramm when they both were about ten years old. Reinhard’s family had just moved in the house next door, after introducing themselves to each other, Reinhard declared that Siegfried was a very common name and from then on he would call him Kircheis which sounded better, the two immediately stroke up a friendship that was to last for life. When the emperor took Reinhard’s sister to be his concubine, Annerose asked Kircheis, who had an innocent crush on her, to promise that he will always be by her brother’s side. Kircheis kept his promise, he followed Reinhard in the military and together they rose through the ranks facing many trials, eventually Reinhard was made a count and was awarded the command of a fleet, opening their road to power. Kircheis is an excellent tactician, often able to discern and even predict Reinhard’s elaborate battle plans. A kind person and a dedicated friend to Reinhard, he is always by his side, and goes on the fight alongside him in his red coloured battleship Barbarossa. He often acts as a restraint for Reinhard’s ambition as well as his wrath when his arrogance gets the better of him. He believes both in Reinhard’s abilities and the righteousness of his intentions and his only goal is to help Reinhard fulfill his destiny.
Birthdate: March 14, 467 R.C. (776 U.C.) Count Reinhard von Lohengramm is a young admiral in the Galactic Empire. He was born Reinhard von Müsel to an impoverished aristocratic family. His mother died when he was very young and he only has faint memories of her. His father's will was shattered at about the same time and the only person left to care for young Reinhard was his beloved older sister Annerose. When Reinhard was about ten years old, his family had to move into a middle class suburban neighborhood. There he met Siegfried Kircheis who would become his best and perhaps only friend, but whatever happiness Reinhard managed to find as a child was to be short-lived. The emperor Friedrich IV took a liking to his sister and ordered her to move into his palace and become his new concubine. Afraid that if she refused she would bring down the emperor's wrath on her younger brother, Annerose reluctantly accepted and her father even managed to get some money out of it. Infuriated Reinhard swore vengeance against the emperor, vengeance against the Goldenbaum dynasty and vengeance against the oppressive nobility. He swore that he would never rest until he freed his sister of her predicament and became powerful enough never to be ordered by anyone again. To achieve his goals and with Kircheis by his side, Reinhard joined the military. He quickly rose through the ranks and after proving his ability time and again to the hostile and corrupt nobility, ever reluctant to accept a fallen aristocrat like him into their ranks, he became an imperial high admiral and was elevated to peerage as the "count of Lohengramm". As he steps into the admiralty, the Emperor gives him the prototype battleship Brünhild, which serves as Reinhards flagship from then on. Nicknamed "Blonde Brat" by his enemies and "Golden Lion" by his friends, Reinhard is a handsome and gifted individual, a superb tactician and an unequaled strategist. Brave and noble, he always leads his fleets from the front, much to the admiration, as well as the horror, of his subordinates. Ambitious and determined, Reinhard is only hindered by his immeasurable pride, his warlike nature and the turmoil in his heart.
