This article is abut Goer as depicted in the original Space Battleship Yamato. For his counterpart in Space Battleship Yamato 2199, see Gremdt Goer.
Goer is one-time commander of the Gamilans' waypoint base on planet Balan, he reacts to his replacement by Domel angrily, getting drunk and trashing his decadently-decorated room. Desperate to prove himself to Desler, he attempts to fight the Yamato using trained Balanodons, but is defeated resoundingly; he also informs Desler of Domel's plan to sacrifice the base in an attempt to destroy the Yamato, leading to a critical delay which enables the Earth ship to escape. However, he comes to admire Domel's loyalty to the Gamilan cause, and assists him in his battle for honor. His Japanese name comes from Luftwaffe commander Hermann Göring.
