Kreuz (クロイツ Kuroitsu?)

A commander who served under Domel in the battle at the Rainbow Cluster, having earned great acclaim at the Diamond war fronts. He commands the blue Space Carriers #3 and its respective fighter, dive-bomber, and torpedo plane air groups. All four captains fly into battle themselves alongside their men, though Kreuz is not shown (due to an oversight by the animators). His ship is caught up in the drill missile explosion and destroyed.

2199

His name is changed to Charis Kreize (カリス・クライツェ Karisu Kuraitse?)

Trivia

  • It is possible that Kreuz in the 1974 series was named for Nazi Germany's highest military award, the Ritterkreuz (or Knight's Cross), since "Kreuz" is the German word for cross.
