Lt. Commander Wals Lang is a Zaltzi commander of the Meltoria-class EX-178, crewed by Zaltzi and the Garmillans Lieutenant Merda Ditz—daughter of Admiral Gul Ditz.
History[]
In 2199, EX-178 was trapped in a dimensional fault after experiencing a brief failure in its warp core. While hopelessly adrift, EX-178 encountered the UNCF battleship Yamato trapped due to the same problem. Commander Lang asked Merda to head to Yamato to help with an idea to escape the dimension in which both ships could escape with some cooperation. After a disagreement ending with the death of a Imperial Guard officer Paren Nelge, the EX-178 was able to tow the Yamato and both ships return to normal space.[1]
Just as both ships are in normal space, Lang orders his men to began battlestation as once they're out, as the Yamato and EX-178 are now enemies again. Just before they can attack, a fleet under command of Mayor General Gremdt Goer warped-out and demands Lang move aside. The captain yells at Goer stating that Merda is still on the Yamato, but Goer destroys the EX-178, to everybody's shock, killing Lang and his crew. As Yamato evades, Goer's fleet get suck into the dimensional quake while Goer manages to escape. As the Yamato is sailing pass the wreckage of EX-178, everybody gives a somber salute to Commander Lang and his crew of the EX-178.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Commander Lang is similar to Captain Bernhard Rogge of the German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis who made sure the rules of war was observed, dropped survivors at neutral ports, and made sure the prisoners of war were treated well.
He is voiced by Toru Okawa in Japanese and by Jeremy Schwartz in English.[1]
