I figured the story might flow better if we introduced Galiana and Sol I Dor much earlier rather than halfway through. It will also help set the stage for the story arc's climactic moments better.

They don't necessarily have to be appear in Operation Dragonslayer, but they should at least appear in The Best the Best.
