During the Battle of Soltis, Belleza rams the Lynx into the escape module of Galcian's flagship, the Sky Fortress Hydra.
During the Battle of Soltis, Galcian is confronted and defeated by Vyse and his friends; and then killed by Belleza.
While this may have been desirable to the Elders while he was on the Great Silver Shrine, it resulted in his loss on Arcadia, and the stronger-willed Fina was sent to complete his mission (though she was not briefed on the true goals of the mission).

Battle of Corrin - from the Dune Chronicles
While battles that are described in religious or mythological works are not necessarily fictional, the descriptions often mix historical fact with what most scholars consider metaphors and one-sided interpretations.

His strong compassion and empathy are known to inspire others to great feats that they did not realize they were capable of.
With nothing more than his goodwill and personality, Vyse unites a disparate crew from all over the world into a single fighting force to do battle with the Valuan Armada, and he can call on his crew members when the need is great to fight the enemy by shouting, "Blue Rogues, attack!"
Vyse is a notable character in modern RPGs because his personality and character design visibly eschew the brooding, monochromatic and depressive characterization embraced by Squaresoft (now SquareEnix) in the Playstation iterations of the Final Fantasy series.
If, like me, you are an average club player seeking to improve then this (and other books by Andy Soltis) are excellent in providing essential strategic knowledge, pitched at exactly the right level.
The only (slight) negative is that Soltis provides the information in "plain vanilla flavor" - the writing, in other words, is a bit matter of fact.
This book is one of the few to deal directly with the key topic of forming a plan in the early middlegame based on the pawn structure.
But the pawns' restricted mobility is precisely what makes them so important strategically: they form a semi-permanent structure — often called a "pawn skeleton" — that establishes the territorial lines of the coming battle and thus the nature of the battle itself.
An American grandmaster explains how correct pawn play leads to advantage in the middlgame and ending.
Andrew Soltis is a grandmaster and a chess columnist for New York Post and Chess Life.
