Neredia Ricke commands the Imperial Garmillas Defense Force’s 8th Security Fleet from the bridge of the *Mirangal*, balancing tactical precision with the weight of her history. Her longstanding partnership with Lieutenant Commander Fomt Berger, forged through decades of shared service, is shadowed by the death of her younger sister Meria—a loss that fuels Berger’s vendetta against the Yamato crew.

When Berger’s carrier, the *Lamvea*, sustains critical damage, Neredia oversees its repairs while relaying orders about the fragile Garmillas-Earth truce. Her pragmatic adherence to duty clashes with his open defiance, yet she privately shares his wariness of anomalies in their sector: whispers of a spectral "witch" preying on ships, echoes of Zirel legends that once wove telepathy and persecution into Garmillas folklore.

Stranded in a fractured dimension with Yamato personnel, Neredia tempers suspicion with collaboration. She recounts a tale to Mikage Kiryu of a witch-child shunned for her gifts—a narrative mirroring the Zirel’s erased legacy. These calculated overtures bridge cultural divides, revealing her skill in melding empathy with strategy to stabilize the uneasy alliance.

Her exchanges with Berger pulse with unspoken grief. His oblique comparison of Kiryu to Meria draws only a measured silence, hinting at wounds buried beneath protocol. Through shifting threats and collapsing realities, Neredia prioritizes survival without compromising her fleet’s objectives, her decisions reflecting a commander’s discipline and a survivor’s resolve.
