The Arcadia Third Ship is the third variant of Captain Harlock's famous vessel, featured in popular science fiction anime and films from the 1970s and 1980s. The production gained worldwide fame, becoming a symbol of the fight for freedom and independence. The ship was used in numerous space battles, such as those against the Mazone Empire and in the “Galaxy Express 999” series. Japanese pop culture at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s (the contemporary era for the anime universe) permanently inscribed the Arcadia into the canon of iconic fantasy vehicles.
