Uchuu Senkan Yamato III EP23 - Battle at the Scalageck Star Cluster

The Yamato approaches Beta in the Scalageck Star Cluster, the last possible planet the Yamato is scheduled to survey. Although the planet is uninhabitable, the crew discovers the remains of the United States spaceship Arizona, which was apparently attacked by the Bolar Federation.

Just then, both a Galman and a Bolar fleet materialize and both demand Princess Ruda. Susumu refuses, ordering Takeshi to look after Ruda. Meanwhile, Desler orders the Galmans to defend the Yamato. The Bolar fleet attacks the Yamato, which – along with the Galmans – returns fire. Several ships are destroyed, along with that of the Galmans' fleet commander, Admiral Gustaf.

The Bolar main fleet radios the Yamato, again demanding Ruda. Susumu refuses, and the Bolars attack. Using asteroids for cover, the Yamato launches a counterattack with its wave cartridges, finally ending the battle. Takeshi begs Queen Shalbart for help, prompting Ruda to help by inviting the Yamato to Shalbart. Even though the Yamato did not find a second Earth, Susumu decides on one final mission – to take Ruda to Shalbart.

51 days remain before the sun destroys Earth.
