In Episode 17, Frederica believed Kiri was behind the massive attack against the Nordlicht Squadron. Shin asked Anju to take care of Frederica.

Meanwhile, the artillery strikes completely wiped out the FOBs. Close to 20,000 people in the bases were killed in the recent attacks.

It was believed that an ultra-long-range artillery that could be a new type of Legion was the culprit of this mass destruction. The new Legion was termed Morpho and the Federacy was investigating this new lethal artillery.

“Called ‘Juggernaut,’ these are the unmanned combat drones developed by the Republic of San Magnolia in answer to the attacks by the autonomous unmanned drones of the neighboring Empire of Giad, the ‘Legion’. But they’re only unmanned in name. In reality, they are piloted by the Eighty-sixers—those considered to be less than human and treated as mere tools. Determined to achieve his own mysterious ends, Shin, the captain of Spearhead Squadron, which is comprised of Eighty-sixers, continues to fight a hopeless war on a battlefield where only death awaits him,” read the official series synopsis, according to Crunchyroll.
