Description
Shinji Ise holds the position of second-in-command aboard the exploration starship Rugger Guard, serving directly under Captain Dick Asimov. His duties encompass overseeing tactical operations and coordinating bridge activities during the Galaxy Garrison's critical mission to chart habitable planets. Ise proactively initiates early diplomatic contact with the Galveston Empire through Captain Drake, striving to negotiate peaceful coexistence despite persistent hostilities.
When Captain Asimov receives reassignment to Earth in episode 17, Ise ascends to command of the Rugger Guard. This promotion thrusts him into leadership during a period of rapidly escalating tensions with the Galveston Empire. As captain, he orchestrates the ship's defensive maneuvers against Galveston assaults while persistently pursuing non-military resolutions to the conflict. Key command decisions involve deploying the powerful Dairugger robot for protection during exploration missions and bolstering fleet defense.
Ise maintains a steadfast commitment to conflict resolution, consistently prioritizing dialogue even amidst active combat engagements. This principle manifests in his continued communications with Galveston Commander Socrat Teles. Their interactions evolve into a relationship characterized by mutual professional respect, despite their adversarial roles, with both officers upholding codes of honor throughout their negotiations.
Following the collapse of peace talks due to hardline factions within the Galveston Empire, Ise assumes command over military operations as the conflict erupts into full-scale war. He coordinates strategically with Supreme Commander Dewa's arriving reinforcement fleet and executes critical missions, including the successful recapture of Planet K. During pivotal battles, such as the assault on the Galveston Frontline Command, he directs combat operations with a focus on minimizing unnecessary casualties.
Ise witnesses profound sacrifices throughout the war, notably Commander Date's suicide mission destroying the Galveston base in episode 32. These events solidify his resolve to end the conflict through decisive military action. After the fall of the Galveston Empire, he participates in humanitarian operations aimed at relocating surviving Galveston civilians to a new habitable world.
His command philosophy is defined by an emphasis on ethical conduct in warfare, an absolute refusal to target civilians, and an unwavering dedication to the Galaxy Garrison's original exploration objectives, even during intense military engagement. These core principles direct his decision-making throughout the Rugger Guard's extended mission.
