Phaeton has Shiva take most of what remains of the Neo Sapien fleets to Venus in a final attempt to destroy the ExoFleet. With the Resolute II undergoing repairs, Admiral Winfield takes a large portion of the fleet towards Earth in an attempt to fool the Neo Sapiens into thinking an attack is imminent, and therefore withdraw to defend Earth. Shiva calls Winfield's bluff, and proceeds with an attack on the fleet at Venus. An E-frame assault on the Neo Fleet fails, but a follow-up by torpedo boats inflicts heavy damages on the Neo Fleet. Shiva then personally leads an e-frame assault, but is shot down and dies as the attack fails.
