Uchuu Senkan Yamato III EP12 - Stellar Prison Camp

As the Yamato approaches a planet, two ships drop out of warp and begin attacking it. Commander Kodai radios one of the ships, identifying his vessel. The ships immediately cease their attack, saying they are from Berth and had heard of the Argo's helping the Legendra. Susumu asks for permission to land to make repairs and collect food.

While gathering supplies, Yuki and Ryusuke see what appears to be a penal colony but are unable to investigate further. The Yamato attends a reception given by Brozof, Berth's governor general. Brozof says Berth is part of the Bolar Federation, which wants to extend an offer of protection to the Earth, although many of the crew are suspicious of Brozof's words.

Meanwhile, Ryusuke and Takeshi go back to look at the prison camp. Suddenly, a group of prisoners breaks out of the prison camp and boards the Yamato. The prisoners demand the Yamato blast off or they will kill the engine crew.

228 days remain before the sun destroys Earth.
