== Discussion for the japanese translation ==

We have decided to use the chinese version as template and fill in the missing parts from the original japanese version. It's not perfectly authentic like a from the ground up translated japanese version. For previous discussions refer to the chinese translated section on the project main page.--[[User:Ushwood|Ushwood]] 17:10, 11 September 2011 (CDT)

Differences from the chinese-translated version:

- the text correction: from

:“I apologize for my seriousness; I do not dare doubt your words.” Tin finally joined Ramaj on the mobile platform. “If this is the case, then I will dive directly to my main topic.”

:Ramaj nodded and gave a look towards the bodyguard to start the mobile platform on its course.

to

:“No. Not at all.” Tin finally joined Ramaj on the mobile platform.

:“Then we shall proceed to the main topic.” Ramaj nodded and gave the bodyguard a sign.

:The mobile platform began to move.

- the text correction: from

:“Yes he has.” Ramaj thought to herself that it was that business again. “If you are referring to the alliance deal, I trust you already know what my response was to the Prime Minister, and my response has not changed since.”

:“Well, it is my hopes that both our countries would eternally grow and prosper.” - Tin

:“That is only natural.” - Ramaj

:“However, this desire is unlikely to occur.” - Tin

:“Why do you think this?” - Ramaj.

:“It does not matter how this war will progress, our country is already pressed on the verge of destruction.” - Tin

:“That is unlikely.” Says the Empress with an annoyed tone.

:Ramaj actually has no interest in whatever fate that awaits the Hania Federation and does not hide this fact. The only reason that she is even talking about this subject is due to just basic courtesy.

:“No, this is a fact, although it would be inappropriate for me to be so direct, but …” - Tin

:“You need not worry, Ambassador.” Ramaj immediately guessed what Tin was trying to get at, “Speaking from the point of an Empress, I will certainly consider the Empire’s options if it were to be destroyed, but luckily for us, we are not at a point to even begin considering this question.”

to

:“Yes he has.” Ramaj thought to herself that it was that business again. “If you are referring to the alliance deal, I trust you already know what my response was to the Prime Minister, and my response has not changed since.”

:“Perhaps Your Majesty is having a negative opinion.” the ambassador bowed down for his words.

:“Regarding which part of the alliance do you have in mind?” Ramaj asked. “The enemy may destroy it. However, what will a friend do?”

:“It would be sharing eternal friendship.”

:Ramaj smiled. “That would be impossible, Ambassador.”

:“Your Majesty does not believe in a lasting friendship?” Tin's eyes turn to a grave look.

:“I will believe it if it is between one individual and another individual. Even if it is eternal, it is after all for the endurance of a person's life. However, a nation does not disappear easily. Especially regarding my Empire.” - Ramaj

:“My country wishes for permanence in particular, too.” - Tin

:“That is only natural.” - Ramaj

:“However, this desire is unlikely to occur.” - Tin

:“Why do you think this?” - Ramaj.

:“It does not matter how this war will progress, our country is already pressed on the verge of destruction.” - Tin

:“That is unlikely.” Says the Empress with an indifferent tone.

:Ramaj actually has no interest in whatever fate that awaits the Hania Federation and does not hide this fact. It is only courtesy that she did not state it openly.

:“No, it is so. Indeed, although to speak of... it would be inappropriate...... that is.....” - Tin

:“You need not worry, Ambassador.” Ramaj guessed why Tin was hesitant, “Naturally, from your respectable country's stand point of view, you would consider all options shall my Empire fall. Fortunately, we do not have to pay any mind as above all it will not fall.”

- the text correction: from

:Upon leaving the imperial throne on the ‘Gaftnosh’, Ramaj has yet the luxury of even an ounce of rest as she heads down towards the Hall of Larkspur in the Imperial palace.

to

:Upon leaving the imperial throne ship, the ‘Gaftnosh’, Ramaj has yet the luxury of even an ounce of rest as she heads down towards the Hall of Larkspur in the Imperial palace.

- the text correction: from

:“If you can give three days of leave time to those at military command, this mission could be completed very fast. If the military strength of the Federation doesn’t reach the point where they are necessary to be relieved, then they should get an addition week of leave.”

to

:“With respect, grand the command staff about three days of leave. Also to finish disarmament approximately one more week is necessary.”--[[User:Ushwood|Ushwood]] 17:19, 11 September 2011 (CDT)

:“I have never heard of this saying in my clan.” Said Duhir.

:“I think you may not be especially concerned with the relations?” Berusot said firmly.

:“Even if that is so, you cannot bring that into what we are discussing now.” Vonyu said.

:“I am not a person to allow business to turn my backs on family tradition!”

:“Although saying that is very impolite, but I thought that as captain chances for me to display my family tradition should be miniscule.”

:“If this is truly the captain’s family tradition, then it would be too much for anyone to respect it.” Vonyu said in a tone full of misgiving.

to

:“However, it is said, that intelligence determines whether a person belongs to the navigation crew or engine crew.”

:“I have never heard of this saying in my family.” Said Duhir.

:“Perhaps, you didn't take note of it.” Berusot asserted.

:“Even so, the circumstances here are different.” Vonyu said.

:“As if I would neglect family tradition because of circumstances.”

:“With all due respect, Captain, in your position the opportunity to show your family tradition should be rare.” Vonyu said coldly.

:“So what? Just because there is no opportunity, decay is not a tradition in our family tradition.”

:“If this is truly the captain’s house's family tradition, it would be so- splendid.” Vonyu said in a tone full of misgiving.

Seikai no Senki

2011-09-06T20:00:27Z

Ushwood:

"Banner of the Stars" or "Seikai no Senki" (星界の戦旗) is a series of novels expanding the scifi saga which has been started with "Crest of the Stars" or "Seikai no Monshou" (星界の紋章). As of 2008 there are three Monshou books and four Senki novels, and many more books.

[[Image:Seikai no Senki I Kizuna no Katachi (Book Cover).jpg|thumb|right]]
== Story Synopsis ==

Three years have passed since the events of Crest of the Stars. The once Four Nations Alliance has become a Triple Alliance, with one being neutral. The war in the galaxy had come to a stalemate in these years. Now the opponents have rebuild enough and the galactic war is about to begin anew.
In the midst of all of this, Lafiel had become captain on the brand new assault ship Basroil and Jinto had joined her after finishing his training to become a supply officer. The Abh Empire makes a daring attack by cutting the United Mankind, one of the enemy nations, into pieces. The Basroil joins a fleet with the mission of protecting the strategic Aptic Gate from a force 15 times larger than their own.
After the successful strike, the Abh Empire begins to conquer the surrounding areas and retake territories previously lost in the initial attack by the United Mankind. Lafiel had been assigned as temporary territorial governor of Lobnas II, a prison planet.
In the mids of an evacuation a revolt breaks out trapping Jinto. With an enemy fleet approaching, Lafiel is forced to abandon Jinto.
After being rescued by Lafiel, both make a short visit to Jinto's recaptured home which was on the verge of revolting.
Returned from their extended leave, Lafiel becomes captain of the Flicaubh, a new type of ship class.
Another three years have passed. The Abh Empire cuts the United Mankind again, but this time also cuts it off from all its allies.
In this situation the neutral Hania Federation makes an unexpected offer to join the Abh Empire. After careful considerations, the Empress Ramaj decides to take the offer, and gamble with the very existence of the Abh Empire.

Ushwood:

Making some grammatical and general editing changes. As it stands right now, the flow of text for this chapter is pretty poor so I'm trying to clean it up.
[[Special:Contributions/192.55.54.38|192.55.54.38]]

== Vocabulary Consistency ==

As I read through the novel for the first time, I noticed that there is a great deal of inconsistent vocabulary being used from chapter to chapter. One example is the name of the Flicaubh's squadron. In Ch. 2, it is called the 'Scourge Squadron,' but later in the novel I believe it is called the 'Destruction Squadron.' I think it is called 'Scourge Squadron' in the anime. So, I thought I would start a topic geared toward vocabulary consistency. I'm sure there are several other words that are not consistently used throughout...as far as the squadron name, I prefer Scourge Squadron over Destruction Squadron...it just sounds more intimidating. ;)
I'm open to other's thoughts, though.

Are there other words that need to be settled on throughout the chapters?

== Crosschecking with Japanese text ==

Since the chapter was translated from Chinese there are some discrepancies with the Japanese original in it. I found some (absolutely no guarantee that I found all of them) and corrected, with great help of Almael. Here's a list of what I changed:

- "Ion cannons" replced with "laser cannons";

- Gurinshia changed from male to female;

- The text correction (missing line added): from

:"Captain, you can stop teasing me," replied Arubofu, "This also pertains to my life as well!"

:"Just thinking about my own insignificant life has already overwhelmed me!" Arubofu explains.

to

:"Captain, you can stop teasing me," replied Arubofu, "This also pertains to my life as well!"

:"And my life doesn't matter?" Ekuryua interjected.

:"Just thinking about my own insignificant life has already overwhelmed me!" Arubofu explained.

- The text correction: from

:"Is it repairable?" Lafiel asks Gurinshia.

:"Negative." The chief engineer answered without hesitation.

:"Forget it, there are always other ways." Arubofu took the initiative and shouldered the blame.

to

:"Is it repairable?" Lafiel asks Gurinshia.

:"Negative." The chief engineer answered without hesitation.

:"I guess." Lafiel glanced at the gunnery officer.

:"Forget it, there are always other ways." Arubofu refuted.

So, the versions before 26th August are pure translations from Chinese and the version of 26th August is a translation from Chinese partially crosschecked and corrected with the Japanese original.

--[[User:Ushwood|Ushwood]] 14:31, 26 August 2011 (CDT)

Okay, since Japanese-crosschecked version was separated to its own page, I undid the changes I made here.--[[User:Ushwood|Ushwood]] 05:46, 27 August 2011 (CDT)

==Story Synopsis==
Escape was impossible until it was cleared; a game over would mean an actual "death"―. 
Without knowing the "truth" of the mysterious next generation MMO, 'Sword Art Online(SAO)', approximately ten thousand users logged in together, opening the curtains to this cruel death battle. 
Participating alone in SAO, protagonist Kirito had promptly accepted the "truth" of this MMO. 
And in the game world, a gigantic floating castle named 'Aincrad', he distinguished himself as a solo player. 
Aiming to clear the game by reaching the highest floor, Kirito riskily continued alone. 
Because of a pushy invitation from a female warrior and rapier expert, Asuna, he teamed up with her. 
That encounter brought about an opportunity to call out to the fated Kirito―. 

The legendary novel made an appearance with browsing numbers exceeding 6.5 million page views recorded at the personal website.
