The order is 1-2-3. Vesta fleet has green-ish interior lighting, Ceres Space Force that is performing surprised attack has red interior lighting and audio has more static and less quality. Vesta and Ceres has terrirtory dispute over Psyche, Ceres disguised their missile carrier as survey ship and launched surprise attack during usual harassment (destroying cute sats) and Vesta fleet crews has many cadets and were unprepared.

Never noticed that, nice catch

on the right metal bottle you can see the word 'Modafinil', a medicine to keep people wake and focus

Although to be fair, they did intercept 6 out of the 8 of the very high speed missiles before they both got hit.

@Notbigbird Yes, although the Vesta fleet was too careless during the lack of satellite reconnaissance, they finally made the right decision to put maximum reactor power in laser to destroy decoys. Unfortunately, they did not have enough missiles to complete the interception. This also explains why there is a raid failed in the Ceres's radio, where there may be a more experienced Vesta captain.

Wait, there’s a website (this entire time)?

​@@xinguan2681it's most likely Bilibili which is kinda like Chinese youtube

​@@xinguan2681Author also posts info on ships that appeared or to appear in the future on Bilibili.

Most of the people on those ships are also newbies too apperently, and they are being set up in a trap without them knowing. The 2 "equal" Ceres ships are straight up proper warships, which are equipped for war better than Vestan laser frigate and patrol ship.

@ my heart aches for them- “Flagship, this is the Joan Roni calling - confirm that is a Ceres Surveying and Mapping ship with no offensive capabilities? Over.”

​@@JinKeesame here, doesn't help either that the end of episode 3 imply Vesta lost most of their space fleet and bases.

Yep, that's Ceres people

This is all I know and potentially wrong, so take this with a grain of salt The year is 2400-ish, humanity has colonized the solar system, with Vesta and Ceres being 2 indepedent nations of the Asteroid Belts. They both want to claim Psyche as their own, and thus they fight each other but never escalate it to a full blown war. This changed when Ceres decided to do it, sending 2 full fledge warships (01 and 02 as they are called) disguided as patrol ships to set up a hostile takeover, Vesta sent a laser frigate and a multipurpose patrol ship (Joan Roni and Youssef Moussa respectively) in respond, leading to episode 3 part 1. Part 1: -Vestan ships deploy recon satellites to track Ceres' force. The data they gathered said that the enemy has no anti ship capability -Ceres' ships are told to begin the attack, using hidden attack satellites to hit Vestan recon sats -Joan Roni were told to retalliate, using their main laser on the enemy -Ceres' ships move to hide behind the shadow of Psyche while jamming Joan Roni. Using this as a distraction to secretly activate their hidden recon sats before quickly move to the shadow -Joan Roni crew considered deploying flyby recon sat to see what Ceres' fleet is doing, but YM said they can do that later. This is until they see the aggressive burn, and launched one immediately -in the shadow of Psyche, 01 discard it's fake hull plating, showing that it in fact has anti ship missile bay and launch a salvo of 8 missiles on high orbit climb. Meanwhile, 02 detected Vestan flyby recon satellite (thanks to the aforementioned hidden recon sat) and shot an interceptor missile into it's path -a Vestan radar system on Psyche's surface detected 01's salvo and send the data to YM, leading to Vesta fleet entering combat mode Part 2: -01 continue firing a lot of missiles, this time going straight for Vesta fleet instead of going high orbit attack -YM fire 5 inteceptor missiles reprogramed into anti ship and railguns spray into Ceres fleet general direction. Vesta fleet started gathering data, which said the missile wave launched straight for them doesn't have the signature of the 8 missiles launched in part 1, and they charted it as missing due to the missiles losing their lock on. YM offer to take over detection and tracking while Roni focus entirely on powering their laser -Vesta fleet launch a salvo of interceptors and use laser to shoot down the large wave of missiles in front of them. Suddenly, several missiles appear on a high inclination orbit going for them (these are the "missed" missiles that have slowly drifted toward them using active cooling to hide it's signature), which deploy a wall of decoys that confuse Vesta fleet -their laser and interceptors take out most of the straight missiles, so Roni asked YM to transfer 3 (weaker) laser systems to shoot down the remaining straight missiles, while Roni's main laser is overloaded and aim at the high orbit missiles to take out the decoy and narrow down the missiles. Interceptors were launched afterwards to take out the high orbit missiles, but it's too late and only 1 managed to hit, this led to Roni crew panicking and started maneuvering while trying to destroy the missiles' sensors instead, but it was also too late -Roni took a big fat high orbit missile to the crew module, killing everyone onboard and temporarely cut the ship's engines offline. Meanwhile, YM was hit by one of the straight missile, which use thermal tracking so it went for their radiator instead, leaving YM alive Part 3: -YM crew confirmed that Roni is on auto mode now, while they try to access their damage (most of their weapons destroyed and their radiators screwed) and repair it if possible -YM attack missiles now close in on Ceres, but was easily intercepted by 02. Whatever semblances of a missile still left were then picked clean by CIWS, ensuring their safety. -02 found Roni's automated movement and got ordered to track it incase the ship started shooting again, while 01 is ordered to launch 2 missiles at the damaged YM -one of YM's crew contemplates surrendering, hoping that somesort of war rule established by Earth (given the name lagrange) could allow them to live another day. Their captain knows it won't help them -YM got slapped by the missiles launched previously -Ceres fleet now deploy their blockade system, while broadcasting to all vessels in the belt to surrender or die. Meanwhile, Ceres' forces began attacked Vestan installations across the belts -with Psyche being completely their, Ceres began moving one of their fleet there to claim it. One of Ceres' ship check on YM again, asking if another wave of missile should be launched -YM's crew desperately surrender and ask to be rescued. Ceres chose to kill them -on Phobos station, talk about the incident of Vesta-Mars transport attack from episode 1 is mentioned, which said the situation is really bad but it was thankfully contained. Then the new report about Ceres' takeover of Psyche sent by Vesta reached the command guy, who requested to be brought back to Earth.

@@henrycooper3431almost correct. The only issue is 3M11 is specifically designed anti ship torpedo, not those cheaper missiles in the second batch. They accelerate when getting close to the target and perform random maneuvers after about 100 miles from the target, that’s why they’re so lethal, not to mention their self-rotate ability and decoy

​@@delta8402I'm pretty sure I leave every single details that would tell the 3M11 to be deadlier than the rest

@@henrycooper3431 oh sorry, my fault

@@henrycooper3431 Year 2400ish? (Seems like a stretch, but humans did reach Saturn, colonized the Asteroid belt…) Edit: Near-future

The missiles came from the start of part 2 when Youssef Moussa (flagship) fired their railguns, they said 5 interceptors are also launched and switched to anti ship mode Also I think that's more like a Ceres missile barge with how many missiles they launched, which suggested killing off JR but was told to monitor it instead and shot 2 missiles for YM which tore that hole in the crew module

?

@xinguan2681 the clicky-clacky on his desk at the end of the video, it's just one swinging metal ball

3:44 Oh that! I don’t know. But it’s the future, so… who knows. Maybe it’s a thing that just swings forever and stuff.

Yep, other comments suggesting fixes for the translation said that 1:39 line would be translated to something like "There will be no conventions after this battle"

“Savages, the Savages”

It’s probably just a translation error. It’s not the first time that happened.

Great suggestion!

By the way, it’s 2 3M11 as ‘the third batch of missile’, the first two batches were launched in the previous videos

@@delta8402 Hmm yeah, that does make sense; that part in the Chinese is pretty terse and ambiguous - I did have trouble translating it.

>No, [after this] there will not be any more conventions I feel like a more loose translation is needed. "No conventions will be honored" conveys in clearer english terms what I think is being referred to.

this would be a huge improvement❤ if i were the OP/creator, i would use everything in the brackets. more context is better.

@@jackr2287 I sorta see what you mean there - maybe I was translating the Chinese too literally and "convention does not exist" sounds weird in English. Not sure about the tone. I also thought about how I would say it colloquially - "Conventions will not be a thing anymore" - but that's also not the right tone... EDIT: also - I would be a bit worried that "No conventions will be honored" will be too specific a meaning unless we know more about the story, because maybe the intention is to say that in the future, both a) conventions will not be honored and b) no new conventions will be established. I dunno.

We have worked before in 2022, but broked up

@@realfrost401 Oh that's a shame. Well good luck then on Savages.
