Help =*( (Crest of the Stars fans plz)

As some of you may know, I'm in love. Her name is "Crest of the Stars". However I have a problem, detailed below.

A few years ago, when I was a l33t leecher kiddy I leeched an anime on Direct Connect. Back then I hated leeching pieces of anything, because I was a modem user. So it meant never ever getting the ending. I didnt watch it.
A long time after I was clearing space on my HDD and noticed these files that were really old laying around. Anywho, I watched and the anime was kinda so-so but interesting enough. It was about these elf like people taking over planets.

The last episode I saw, some prisoners or planet inhabitors or something were overthrowing the local govt. There was this 'boy' ish looking governor who was clearly cared about by his elven friend.

Fast forward a few years.
I signed up with a company similar to netflix, and basically 'qued' the 1st dvd of anything looking mildly interesting. So I can quickly choose whats worth most time.
One of these was "Crest of the Stars". I immediately recognised the boy and the Elf chick (They are the 'Abh'). Oh, yeh, she's a hotty. Watching that dvd made me quite happy. Absolutely 4 or 5 star that one.
Anywho, Ive now seen 2 dvds of it, and it definately looks to follow a different story line to what I saw all those years ago. For one thing, the boy hasnt even been trained in being a governor, and the girl is just a trainee pilot not a captain or whatever she was.

Is there a second series Im missing or an OVA!?? What is its name? I must locate it immediately. Ive totally fallen for 'Crest of the Stars'.

Anyone?

n00b pko. Google is your friend. You dont need to socialise, you can google.

Answer was: Battleflag of the Stars.

Isn't that "Banner of the Stars"?

First of all there is a Crest of the Stars Forum you could have gone too--not too many people posting there lately, but I go there from time to time.

Secondly, the Crest of the Stars series has 4 Animes. The first is the 13 episode Crest of the Stars. The Second is the 13 episode BattleFlag/Banner of the Stars and the third is the 10 episode Battleflag/Banner of the Stars II (Banner is how Senki was translated when the series was released Stateside). The Fourth is Banner of the Stars III, which has just recently been announced in production, but has not been made yet. It's currently unknown if III will be a TV series or one-shot OVA. Banner I and II are completely availabe on DVD in US, and there are complete box sets for each (though they are now limited editions due to Bandai ending a lot of productions of Series box sets after Christmas).

Third, yes, Lafiel is hot. She's referred to as Captain in Banner I and II because she is the commanding officer of the Basroil, though her rank is technically Decca-Commander.

Dont say her name! It brings sweet tears of joys to my eyes.
Oh Lafiel.. why wont you cry? So strong, so determined. Do you think we cant see how vulnerable you are? Come to the penguin. Give him hugs and learn eternal happiness.

Yeh, I checked madman. They dont have squat. Thanks for the info on the production being cancelled. Might have to accelerate my plans for acquiring this beautiful anime. LAFIEL! COME TO ME!!!!!!!!! >< >< >< >< >< >< <3 <3 <3
