In the vast space mythology created by Leiji Matsumoto, the Death Shadow occupies a place that is both mythical and tragic. Before commanding the green Arcadia that everyone knows, the young Captain Albator (Captain Harlock) cut his teeth aboard this first black Phantom-class heavy cruiser. Originally designed for the Earth military, the ship accompanied the pirate in his early rebellions against human apathy and galactic corruption.

Equipped with devastating firepower and armour capable of withstanding the most violent assaults, the Death Shadow is shrouded in a spectral aura. In several tales, this ship is left for dead before mysteriously reappearing, sometimes controlled by artificial intelligence or haunted by the memory of its past battles. For all fans of the saga, it remains the proud predecessor of the Arcadia and the first bastion of resistance for all the outcasts of space.
