Plot
During a seemingly standard training mission a month after the war with the White Comet Empire, the crew of the Yamato face a new enemy: the mysterious Dark Nebula Empire. Kodai, Shima, Yuki, and the rest of the ship's crew have to ally with their former enemy turned ally Desslar in order to foil the evil Dark Nebula's plans of strip mining Iscandar, the home planet of old friend Queen Starsha, who helped the crew during their first voyage.
