That lousy offisuh! What does he know about guys ya live and die with?! -- Knox
Nearing the edge of our solar system, the Star Force completes a space warp from which re-materializes right on top of a Comet Empire recon plane (no apparent damage to the Argo).
The Star Force passes planet Brumas again on its way back to rejoin the Earth fleet. Despite Wildstar's objections, the Argo's return is delayed while Sgt. Knox is allowed to hold services for the friends he lost on Brumas when it fell to the Comet Empire.
While there, he and IQ-9 discover that Brumas has been turned into an enemy ordinance base with lots of missiles. A Comet Empire advance fleet bears down on the Argo. The Star Force destroys the base and the fleet with the Wave Motion Gun.
"Where is the enemy now?" said one EDF councilmember to another.
"Right, we haven't seen 'em since they passed URANUS!"
This is perhaps one of the most favoured episodes amongst Star Blazers fans.
Star Force reaches Earth's solar system and joins the EDF fleet. Captain Gideon commissions the Star Force to lead Gideon's carrier fleet in a surprise attack on the Comet Empire's own advance carrier fleet near Saturn. Thus, this episode gets its title.
Sandor and IQ-9 takes a short recon flight to Phoebus, Saturn's 10th moon, to locate the enemy's fleet. The fleet is ambushed and defeated by an Earth carrier fleet led by the Argo.
This episode features a really swinging version of the Yamato main theme (often called the "Disco Yamato Theme") played as the EDF squadrons launch.
Note: The line about Uranus is classic.
