Space Battleship Yamato Wiki



The Mirangal (MIRANGal, Mirangal)[5] was a Gelvades-class Astro Battleship-carrier of the Imperial Garmillas Defense Force, it served as the flagship of the 8th Security Fleet.

History[]

By 2199, Mirangal was commanded by Colonel Neredia Ricke. In August[2] of the same year, Mirangal led the 8th Security Fleet to rendezvous with the carrier Lamvea, which had been heavily damaged in battle and was now under the acting command of Lt. Commander Fomt Berger. Soon after repairs were made, Mirangal and the rest of the task force became lost within an unknown region of space and encountered the mysterious planet Shambleau.[6]

While Colonel Ricke was away aboard Lanbea, Berger returned from a scouting mission to Shambleau and abruptly assumed command of Mirangal in the colonel's absence. He lead the Security Fleet in a joint operation with the Earth battleship Yamato to repel an attack from a Gatlantean expeditionary group. Mirangal, along with another Gelvades-class Astro Battleship-carrier, launched squadrons of Czvarke fighters before switching its flight deck to a multi-turret formation. With help from Yamato, it successfully evaded a devastating blast from a new enemy weapon. By end of the Battle, the Garmillas fleet was wiped out, leaving the Mirangal as the only ship left. The Battleship-carrier single-handedly fought and sank multiple Gatlantis vessels, but it suffered severe damage.[6]

Its service ended when Berger personally took the helm and made a full speed run toward one of the remaining Gatlantis destroyers. The enemy target was destroyed upon impact, but the carrier was shattered. The surviving Mirangal crew, including Berger, were rescued by Lanbea under Ricke's command.[6]
