I'm the Heroic Knight of an Intergalactic Empire!

Emma has just taken her first step as a knight. Emma's new job? Commander of a squad of useless layabouts. Just as her efforts start to change minds, a pirate base is discovered on Alias. What will happen when an elite force is sent in from the home planet to eliminate them?! An epic new tale of a failure's rise to glory in the Intergalactic Empire begins!

Starting her new mission aboard the Melea, aspiring knight of justice Emma crosses paths with former classmate Russell. He's an elite knight now, and his jabs at the Melea—and at her—could turn idealistic Emma into a nervous wreck. When top knight Marie takes a shot at training Emma personally, it's a chance for the young knight to prove her former classmate's trash talk wrong. But how badly did Russell rattle Emma? Can this B-rank knight still buckle down and bring her A game?!

After training under Marie's wing, Emma has finally managed to move the hearts of the Melea's crew--just in time for them to join the Empire's war! But before they're permitted to head into battle, the Melea's notoriously laid-back crew has to prove they're ready. The inspector who turns up to take stock definitely doesn't mesh with the ship's slackers...and the quirkiness on the team developing a new mobile-knight unit adds fuel to the fire. Staying focused on justice will be a challenge while Emma's hemmed in by countless eccentric comrades--especially if those comrades start to clash...
