Spoiler for Plot points from chapter 4 brochure's pretty pictures. :D:

So, it seems the battlefield for episode 13 isn't an asteroid field per se, but actually a proto solar system. It seems elements of the Octopus Star Storm episode were used for episode 12, especially Kodai and Shima having a fight (presumably because of Shima's dad) and end up on scrub duty, mops and all. Both episodes 11 and 12 seem to be more about character development, being that 11 has one of the series big reveals which the characters have to come to terms with during 12. Amidst this we have Yamamoto and Melda's duel, flashbacks to Yuki's past after the accident that left her with no memories (Yuria was one of her nurses, maybe explaining the girl's fixation with Yuki), and of course, on the Gamilas side, Domels return to Gamilas and his appointment to Balan. The big action episode of the chapter is of course 13, with the war of nerves between Fraken and the Yamato, with Sanada in command since the captain's hilness has him down for the count. And finaly the secretive episode 14 wich has Mirenel use the Balan warp gate to project her mind inside the Yamato. We get more about Yuki and Kodai's past as the psychic jirelan invades their minds, atempting to prevent them from bringing the crew out of their slumber.
