“ | It's fine. It is my duty. In exchange, I want you, Keith, to end the war as swiftly as possible. | ” |
—Heinz Nehrich Windermere |

He entrusts the war effort to Chancellor Roid Brehm, but soon discovers he was only being used for his personal schemes. Roid had hoped for Heinz to fulfill the role of the Star Singer, but later is abandoned after he captures Mikumo Guynemer. Heinz is horrified after Mikumu's singing is used to wipe out New United Nations Spacy officer Lauri Marin's entire fleet while it was near Windermere IV's orbit. Roid breaks his allegiance to the young king, prompting Keith to take action against his former friend. The two are killed after an intense battle aboard Roid's superweapon.
Following the failure of Roid's coup, Heinz orders the withdrawal of all his forces.
