Ep. 1: Crest of the Stars: Birth (2000-04-07)

This starts off with Dubus and Plakia on their honeymoon. While traveling around in space, they come across an abandoned ship. Ever curious and stubborn, Dubus convinces Plakia to help explore the ship. They soon come to realize that the ship may have been drifting in space for many years as soon as they reach the bridge. Instead of possibly an empty chair, the skeletal remains of an abh of royal descent (having some sort of jewel on it's forhead) is still sitting in the chair. They return to their own ship heading home to inform others of their findings. A few years later, a child is born unto Dubus and Plakia, Abriel Nei Dubrusk Paryunu Lafiel. They both agree not to reveal who Lafiel's mother is so she would wholeheartedly try to make her mother proud. Now is the beginning of Lafiel's adventure.

Ep. 2: Banner of the Stars III: Reunion of the Stars (2005-08-06)

Jinto and Lafiel are riding on the lightly-armed transport ship Bokbrusue and navigating at the planar space of the Hyde System. Jinto was officially appointed to govern the Hyde System as Earl, which returned to imperial rule after the Union retreated. However, the government of Martine, Jinto's motherland, is resisting obstinately against the Empire. Meanwhile, the First Devastation Fleet, formed with a new ship type called Attack Vessel, is traveling to the Hyde System for drilling practices.
Ep. 3: Banner of the Stars III: Family Dining (2005-08-06)

Jinto is meeting up with his old friend Ku Dorin, just to learn in person, that the Abh's are not welcome on Martine. While the First Devastation Fleet is getting closer to the Hyde System, Jinto tries to negotiate with his foster father Till Corinth, head of the anti-Abh resistance, to prevent a military conflict with Martine. Signing a statement of mutual agreement, the Hyde Government will abandon its sovereignty and become a nation of the Empire. However, those who possess the titel of Duke of Hyde, or have previously held it, were forbidden to come close to Martine.
