Galman-Garmillas
Abelt Dessler
Voice: Koichi Yamadera
Galman-Garmillas Nation President
Date of birth: March 19, 2166. Pisces (Earth calendar). 41 years old.
“Just after I find something lost, its owner appears. In this vast universe…the odds are vanishingly small.”
Head of state and president of the new nation “Galman-Garmillas” formed by the Garmillas and Galmans.
Two years have passed since the capture of Planet Galman from the Bolar Federation. During this time, Planet Galman has been exposed to counterattacks from the Bolar fleet. Dessler has gathered all of the Garmillan forces remaining in space on Planet Galman and lays out an impenetrable formation, but the difference in military strength between him and the super-giant federal nation of Bolar is clear, and he has been struggling day after day.
One day, a “lost item” is delivered to Dessler. It is…
Chapter 4 update:
“I am ashamed as well. I know Starsha’s wish was the salvation of all the universe. But I’m about to use Iscandar’s relics as weapons of war.”
In order to defend Planet Galman, which continues to be subjected to airstrikes by the Bolar Federation, Dessler continues to search for a way to restore the remains of Iscandar’s battleships. However, he has not made any progress, and Planet Galman is also caught in the grip of a mysterious cooling phenomenon in which all energy is being attenuated.
In the midst of this double crisis, Dessler is led to an unexpected “fate.” He meets Sasha, Starsha’s orphaned child. He’s reunited with Susumu Kodai, who has been summoned with Yamato to deliver her. Their encounter brings the fate of Dessler and Planet Galman to a new turning point.
Chapter 5 update:
“Without the success of this operation, we have no future. Our enemy is the witch who freezes the universe.”
The conflict with the Bolar Federation continues, and a mysterious cooling phenomenon is sapping energy. Facing these two crises, Dessler forms a new bond with arch duke Ram Ra-Jendora of the planet Berth.
As Ram predicted, the source of the cooling lurks in the Ganel Nebula: the Dezarium fortress Digablas, which is associated with the Bolar legend of the “Witch of Uralia.” Dessler agrees to attack the fortress and dispatches a “combined fleet” with Earth. The conflict eventually spreads to the Bolar Federation through Ram. Dessler senses a future in which a new relationship will be formed between him and his nemesis, Bolar.
Loren Varel
Voice: Masaki Terasoma
Galman-Garmillas Empire ambassador to Earth.
Birthdate: February 14, 2152. Aquarius (Earth calendar). 55 years old
In order to advance their plans to accommodate the Garmillans living on Earth while they wait to be moved to planet Galman, a section of the moon was leased from the Earth government and the city called “Third Baleras” was built. However, Ginga crashed onto the moon during a battle with Dezarium and was stranded on Third Baleras. Varel immediately rescued the crew, including Saki Todo, but Dezarium’s commander-in-chief Kazan demanded that Ginga be handed over.
Chapter 3 update:
“Mr. President, would you please issue an order banishing Garmillas from Earth?”
After the entire crew was rescued from the Ginga, which crashed on the Moon’s leased land “Third Baleras”, a Garmillan “suicide bombing” occurrs in the new capital on Earth. This causes public sentiment toward Garmillas to rapidly deteriorate. It is all the result of a Dezarium false flag operation – a conspiracy. But Varel makes a difficult decision to resolve the situation. He personally asks the Earth President to issue an “Order for the Deportation of all Garmillans.”
Chapter 5 update:
Varel keeps a close eye on Dezarium’s movements from the lunar leased territory of “Third Baleras.”
Although he quickly discovers that the Garmillan suicide bombing in the new capital was a false flag operation by Dezarium, the feelings of Earth’s citizens, manipulated by the plot, rapidly worsen. To ensure the safety of his fellow countrymen, Varel advises the President to issue an “Order for the Deportation of all Garmillans.”
Nine days later, the first evacuation fleet filled with Earth-based Garmillans departs Earth. Varel watches from his office on the Moon, praying for the safety of his allies.
Fomto Berger
Voice: Junichi Suwabe
Captain of the Gaipellon-class Multi-deck Space Carrier Lambea
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Age: Approximately 35 years old
“An escape pod with a design no one’s ever seen…but it’s transmitting an Earth SOS signal.”
A true Garmillan soldier with many military achievements. After the battle with the Dezarium forces that destroyed his home planet, he returned to the planet Galman with Abelt Dessler. Since then, he has worked to defend the new land. However, the Bolar Federation, which had taken the planet Galman, launched a fierce counterattack, and Berger led his elite troops on an expedition to the center of the galaxy. He carried out a plan to thwart the Bolar fleet heading for the planet Galman. During this battle, Berger came across a “rescue capsule that emits an Earth-style distress signal” and had it retrieved, but…
Chapter 4 update:
“Berth is not to be underestimated! They’re tough.”
Berger commands the veteran aircraft carrier Lambea, which has been fitted with additional heavily armed units, and plays a part in the defense of Planet Galman. During an expedition toward the center of the galaxy to thwart the Bolar fleet, he accidentally retrieved Sasha’s life capsule. This leads to a reunion with his old comrade-in-arms, Yamato.
Berger would love to have a drink with his long-time friend, Susumu Kodai, but with the current state of emergency continuing nonstop, it seems unlikely that he will have the time.
Chapter 5 update:
“Well, I’ll give it a try. It’s what Yamato would say.”
A true Garmillas soldier with a deep connection to Kodai and the others. Captain of the battle-hardened aircraft carrier Lambea.
During a joint briefing with the Earth-Galactic Alliance Fleet, Berger coolly boasts, “Well, I’ll give it a try,” in response to the impenetrable enemy fortress. But deep down, intense rage must be brewing. The entity causing the Galman system to cool is none other than Dezarium, the sworn enemy who once destroyed the planet Garmillas.
Now, together with Yamato, his old “comrade-in-arms,” he will once again challenge Dezarium. Berger’s blood boils at the thought of this strange fate as he sets out to conquer Digablas.
Yuri Dagon
Voice: Susumu Akagi
Captain of the special first-class aerospace combat carrier Deusula III
Rank: Colonel
Age: Approximately 41 years old
“The Garmillas will never lose to anyone again!”
A veteran officer who supported Admiral Gul Deitz for a long time. His pride as a Garmillan soldier and his commitment to military success are outstanding. When the planet Garmillas was destroyed, he served as the captain of an aircraft carrier belonging to the Deitz fleet in the defense of the planet Galman.
He is currently the captain of Deusula III, the flagship of the guerrilla fleet, and is thrilled with the honor of being entrusted with the former “President’s ship.”
Chapter 4 update:
He served as captain of Deusula III, the flagship of the guerrilla fleet, but fell into a trap set by Dezarium’s invisible battleship and turned his spear against Yamato. He also disagreed with Galman commander Kil Keeling’s acceptance of the ceasefire and attempted to fight to the end, but the Garmillan command headquarters would not allow it. Dagon has currently been relieved of his position as captain and is undergoing rigorous interrogation.
Chapter 5 update:
“I will not cling to past glories. I will connect them to the present and the future!!”
Although he was dismissed after the blunder of mistaking Yamato for the enemy, he is favored by President Dessler and returns to his position as captain of Deusula III. He shoulders the heavy responsibility of being the commander-in-chief of the Earth-Garmillas Combined Fleet, and takes part in the battle to capture Digablas, with the future of Galman-Garmillas at stake.
Kil Keeling
Voice: Takahiro Mizushima
Former Commander of the Home Planet Defense Fleet
Current Commander of the Shalbart-class Special Fleet
Rank: Special Duty Colonel
Age: Approximately 27 years old
“I will guide you to the holy city of Ruda.”
Descendant of the priest family that ruled the planet Galman for thousands of years. Born and raised under the oppression of the Bolar Federation. He has a strong respect for Abelt Dessler, who led the planet Galman to liberation, and joined the defense forces of the new nation, Galman-Garmillas, with his family. Dessler believes that “the greatest challenge for the new nation is the reconciliation of the Galmans and Garmillans,” and has given Kil, the young flag-bearer of the Galmans, a position and responsibility. Kil is now quietly burning with passion to live up to the expectations of the President.
Translator’s note: a “special duty colonel” typically refers to a colonel assigned to a position that requires unique skills or expertise, or that is not part of the regular chain of command. These assignments often involve staff roles, advisory positions, or leading specific programs or initiatives that don’t directly involve commanding troops.
Chapter 4 update:
“We shall escape the Bolar’s control and create a peaceful nation.”
Although Kil is still young and inexperienced, Dessler appreciates his broad perspective and lack of self-righteousness, and has given him the extraordinary position and responsibility of commander of the Strike Fleet. Kil also aims to live up to the President’s expectations and embody “true reconciliation between Garmillas and Galman.” Dessler has entrusted him with the operation of the newly-activated Iscandar Relic Battleships (Shalbart-class Fleet).
Chapter 5 update:
“All ships, prepare to fire Wave Motion Guns, follow Yamato‘s example!”
He faced a cunning plot by Dezarium to misidentify Earth’s battleship Yamato as an enemy, but handled it calmly. For this achievement, Dessler has entrusted him with the operation of the newly-activated Iscandar Relic Battleships (a specially organized fleet of Shalbart-class ships). During the large scale joint operation to capture the Dezarium Fortress, he forms a guerrilla fleet with Yamato. He lines up their bows and fires their Wave-Motion Guns, pushing the Shalbart-class fleet to the very limit of its operating capacity.

Captain of the dimensional attack submarine Zerandal. An expert in subspace combat, he is a cunning tactician who always remains calm and collected. Two years ago, he lost many of his subordinates, including his second-in-command Hainey, in a battle with the automated planet Goruba, but he keeps that pain to himself and devotes himself to the defense of Planet Galman.
To investigate the “space cooling phenomenon” that is attenuating even the energy of the Geshtam engine, he travels to the center of the Ganel Nebula with Yamato, where he encounters Dezarium’s capture field. A fierce battle unfolds in the depths of subspace.
Chapter 5 update:

Chapter 4 update:
“Galman and Garmillas need to truly come together. Or there’s no future for us.”
While serving as the first officer in the engineering department of the dimensional attack submarine Zerandal, he also worked hard to adjust Yamato‘s connection to the dimensional submarine. When he thinks back to his first voyage to Iscandar, his heart has changed greatly. His feelings for his “beloved family” are likely the source of his human strength.

He is responsible for the overall national defense plan of the new nation, Galman-Garmillas, and is troubled by a mountain of problems, such as making effective use of their limited military strength.
In response to the glow emitted by Yamato‘s pure wave core, the relics of the Iscandar civilization lying dormant on Planet Galman all begin to activate at once. Talan is overjoyed at the unexpected expansion of their military strength, but…
Chapter 5 update:
He is responsible for the overall national defense plan of the new nation, Galman-Garmillas, and has worked closely with Space Fleet Commander-in-Chief Deitz to counter attacks by the Bolar Federation. In recent years, he has been troubled by a mysterious cooling phenomenon that has been ravaging the planet Galman, and it has been discovered that the source of this is a Dezarium fortress lurking in the Ganel Nebula.
