Summary
The Moon approaches a star system with two planets
locked in a single orbit on opposite sides of their common sun.
The first is soon remotely detected to be inhabited,
followed soon by
Sandra detecting the approach of
a "powered object" that
Kano detects is a collosal battleship.
Alpha takes up defensive position and considers a
defensive albeit partially
pre-emptive strike.
Alpha soon finds itself in the middle of a major battle, in
two rounds separated by a cease-fire,
all the while being fed a mix of (apparently) honest and
misleading information from an alien commander, Dione,
who "escaped" her damaged ship.
The Alphans survive the battle with damage to parts of the base and
a few minor injuries, while the other two sides suffer
some major damage.
